Hi I’m Kate! I just graduated highschool and would like to pursue being a nanny/sitter this summer before I go to college! I enjoy hiking, art, singing, and instruments.
Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science, and will be graduating in May. I'm offering occasional babysitting, petsitting, and housesitting services. While I do not have as many years of experience babysitting or being a nanny, I do have experience working with kids of all ages! I've babysat kids ranging from 2 years of age to teenagers, and have cooked, cleaned, changed diapers, and entertained for the kids. Most importantly, through the 4-H, FFA, and Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations, I've learned how to facilitate educational and entertaining learning through a variety of activities. I'm very comfortable working with any type of pet! My experience with animals and veterinary medicine is a great asset while watching over your pet. I'm also comfortable performing a variety of household chores, and would be happy to help you out! I have a clean record, access to personal transportation, and am CPR trained for both humans and pets. I am mostly looking for occasional jobs due to a constantly-changing school and work schedule. I look forward to potentially working with you!
