Katherine $17 per hour for 1 child

I'm a mother who raised my son with gentle parenting rooted in child development. As a single mom, I co-raised children with a trusted group of single mothers. I've cared for nieces, nephews, and cousins my whole life. I've also been a professional housecleaner. I'm trauma-informed, certified in health coaching, and believe in meeting children, pets, and senior adults where they are with patience, creativity, and respect.

Brandi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Brandi. I am currently in my junior year at Metropolitan State University. I am offering child care, senior care and household services! I love spending time with family as it’s important to me! I have been babysitting for a couple years now. I enjoy doing activities such as coloring, playing games, and crafts with children. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care as well, I have been a caretaker for my grandparents for quite some time now. My grandpa recently passed, and I believe everyone deserves to be taken care of properly at no matter what age. I can drive to appointments and do other tasks as well. I adore animals, I grew up with three cats. Now I have 3 dogs, I am happy to take dogs on walks and engage with pets!

Hello! My name is Kara. I have a little 3 year old boy. I have 2 huskies and love spending time with with the family. I am from Minnesota and have grown to love the seasons( hahah especially now that I have huskies) We are always on the go and active.

I am also a housekeeper and worked in Special Education for 15 years. I love helping people in anyway that I can. I grew up helping raise my nieces and nephews, as well as cousins. The pitter patter of little feet brings joy to my heart. I have worked with littles in elementary schools as well as adults in transition programs… and senior care as well.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Newport, MN

Hello! My name is Bekah and I am a NICU nurse. My journey to nursing is rooted in my desire to care for others and integrate my background in sociology with hands-on work. I grew up caring for my siblings and cousins, always wanting to take part in things like diaper changes and bottle feeding, even when I was a bit too young. I am instinctively attuned to the needs of others which lends itself to my future career and to caregiving in general. I specialize in over night newborn care and being a “mother’s helper.” I can assist with feeding, lactation, sleep, and other newborn needs!

Reliable and good with kiddos. Would recommend
