Hi, I'm Soliana a pediatric CNA and longtime children's ministry volunteer who loves spending time with kids. I've cared for medically complex babies, behaviorally struggling youth, and healthy, energetic kids. I bring empathy, structure, and fun to every family I work with.
Hi! I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver with a background in working with kids and supporting families. I’m also a mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home. I have experience with school-age children and teens, and I’m especially strong with homework help, organization, and keeping kids on track in a positive, low-stress way. I’m patient, engaging, and good at explaining things in a way kids actually understand. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and keeping things running smoothly while you’re busy. I also enjoy being active with kids, whether that’s getting outside, doing creative activities, or just making sure they feel comfortable and supported. Families would describe me as dependable, easy to communicate with, and someone who genuinely cares. I’m flexible and available for last-minute or occasional needs as well.
Hi my name is Lily! I go to Wellesley College and am on the tennis team. I'm from Minneapolis, MN and home for the summer (looking for work)! I have a lot of experience with childcare and tutoring. I have been babysitting for 5 years and have been online tutoring kids for a year. I also had the honor of going to Guatemala to tutor kids English in 2022. I am outgoing, hardworking, responsible, and fun. I love being around kids: I love thinking on my feet and coming up with engaging activities. I also am experienced in taking care of dogs as I have raised puppies and dogs growing up.
Hello! My name is Londyn and I am 18 years old. I am currently looking for a part-time nanny position because I love working with children and I am passionate about providing quality care. I have extensive experience in childcare, over 3 years of professional experience and over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, ranging from 2 months to 16 years old. I am also certified in CPR, first aid, SIDS, food safety, WSI, and fire safety, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe and secure in my care. I am open to light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, running errands, and more! I am located in the Eden Prairie area, but I am willing to commute up to 25+ miles for the right family. My rate is $20+ per hour, reflecting my qualifications, experience, and skills. I would love to meet some new families and help provide the care and support that your child needs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my services.
