"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Barb $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello!! I retired early after 38 years of teaching. I received Elementary Education as well special education degrees from Luther College in Decorah, IA. I later received my Early Child Special Education degree from Mankato State University and my Graduate Degree from St Mary's University. I am presently driving two hours to care for my 2 year old granddaughter in Hopkins, Mn. I typically watch her two weeks each month, and rotate with a couple others. My schedule varies. I typically do not watch her on Tuesdays or weekends. She truly has been a blessing in our lives. I'm not sure that my schedule will accommodate your needs but thought l'd reach out just in case you need a backup or part-time. Thank you, Barb
Shawnshay $10 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Shawnshay, and I’m excited to introduce myself! I am a mother of two—a 5- year-old and an 11-month-old—so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I currently work as a special education assistant in the Minneapolis school district and have been in this role for the past five years. I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with emotional and behavioral needs, from kindergarten through 6th grade. Before this, I worked as a teacher’s assistant in a daycare setting for over four years, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. In my free time, I love arts and crafts and spending time outdoors—activities I enjoy sharing with children to keep them engaged and happy!
