Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child

With a strong foundation in service and dedication, I am a compassionate caregiver and military veteran, bringing a wealth of experience and a nurturing spirit to every role I undertake. With a Bachelor’s degree, I combine academic knowledge with practical skills honed through diverse experiences, including my time as a para-professional within the school district. In this role, I have provided support to young children and those with special needs, ensuring an inclusive and enriching environment for all. As a proud dog mom to a 14-year-old pup, I understand the importance of companionship and empathy, qualities that translate seamlessly into my caregiving approach. My professional background as a kitchen staff member at a Girl Scout camp has further developed my ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, catering to the needs of children and fostering their growth through engaging activities. Additionally, my passion for gardening reflects my nurturing nature and commitment to fostering growth—both in plants and in the lives of those I care for. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered. My unique blend of military discipline, educational experience, and a heartfelt commitment to service, I am not just a caregiver but a steadfast advocate for the well-being of those I serve.

Carolee $20 per hour for 1 child

I am looking to find a family that wants a hands on, caring and very interactive nanny/babysitter.. I love to read to and do crafts with my littles and I believe in fresh air and running around outdoors! I have cared for infants to pre teens and I have great recommendations from my previous full time nanny jobs! I also lived with my Dad for the last 2-1/2 years of his life at an Independent living center. I loved making friends with so many vibrant and interesting people there.

Booked by 1 family in Mendota, MN

Hey there! My name is Elaina, and I go to the University of Minnesota! I have worked with kids since 2023 as a nanny, and as of May this year, I work at a preschool! I became CPR certified in June as well. I absolutely love being around kids, and I have a major passion for early childhood development. I have worked with children from 3 months of age to age 14! My hours can be pretty flexible, and I am open to coming to meet your kids before you hire me to get a feel for the dynamic! Let me know if you have any questions:)

Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child

Looking for a nurturing and engaging childcare provider for your little one? I'm a 30-year-old with a passion for child development (and a Master's in Clinical Social Work in the works!). With years of experience, I bring warmth, humor, and love for creativity and curiosity. My background in neurodiversity allows me to connect with all kinds of kids, from those with special needs to those thriving typically. Understanding attachment theory helps me create a safe and supportive environment where your child can blossom. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit!
