carly $20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting for over 7 years working with children as young as 6 months up to age 10. I aspire to be a teacher and have received teacher training, so I know how to make learning fun and keep kids engaged. I love to sew and do arts and crafts, read, and play outdoors. I have a car for easy commutes and am very flexible to meet your childcare needs.

Sheila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a current Macalester College Spanish and Sociology major who is passionate about working with kids. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor and one year of experience in after-school programming. My background has given me extensive practice coming up with engaging, creative, and educational activities for kids of all ages. I have received extensive safety and childcare training, including CPR and First Aid. I love cooking and baking and know how to teach age-appropriate food-safety skills to cook with kids. I grew up with food allergies, so I know how to take the best precautions to help kids with dietary restrictions. Another passion of mine is helping kids explore the world outside-- this fall, I'm taking a course specifically on Outdoor Environmental Education, so I have lots of new activities to try out!

Faye $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Faye. I have a degree in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Oak Hills Christian College. I have three children of my own, two of which are on the spectrum. I am accustomed to helping children work through their troubles. Sometimes, we all have big feelings! I most enjoy taking care of babies and toddlers. I love animals, having a dog and three cats myself. I am comfortable with animals inside or outside. In particular, I have experience with: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, tortoises, goats and chickens. I am happy to learn more! My main interests are reading, music and herbalism. I like fantasy and sci-fi( I'm a big nerd), and will gladly discuss Tolkien at length. I always have a little garden for my kids to free range for snacks, and will often dry herbs for food or salves. I have been a stay-at-home mom for several years because of our children's needs. They are getting older now, so I would like to branch out again. Please let me know if my experience meets your needs. I hope that we can be a blessing to eachother! Faye W.

Diamond $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. I chose this profession because I want to make a positive impact on their lives and support families by providing reliable child care. My formal and reserved nature complements my patient and calm demeanor, making me a comforting presence for children. I value open communication with parents and tailor my approach to their preferred methods. I ensure household rules are followed while prioritizing the parents' lead. I enjoy sensory and art activities that spark a child's creativity and individualism. I have a total of about 7 years of experience working in childcare centers, multiple different school districts and school programs. I'm ready to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to caring for your child. I am available to care for one child, aged 0 to 11 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Elle $25 per hour for 1 child

Experienced nanny and foster parent. I love the little ones, but would consider older children for the right family. My goal is to exceed expectations. You are leaving your home and children with another and both should be well cared for when you return. I am attentive, empathetic, and conscientious. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. I have also provided care for children up to age 18. I aim to provide a service that benefits the whole family: nurtured children, a tidy house, and parents who feel good about leaving their children in my care. I value good communication - and trust that is earned over time and goes both ways. If you are looking for childcare that really adds value to your family life I may be just the lady for you.
