Hi! My name is Ella and I am a first year law student. Although I am new to the babysitting/nanny scene, I grew up taking care of my younger brother who is seven years younger than me.

Taylor $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! 👋 I have extensive childcare experience and absolutely love working with kids of all ages. For 7 years, I was a full-time nanny for a wonderful family with four children, which gave me hands-on experience balancing different ages, schedules, and personalities all at once. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and fun while also keeping things safe and structured. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or making sure bedtime runs smoothly, I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a positive environment for children to thrive.

I'm Tanya, a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth with hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and kids of close family friends. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely love making kids feel comfortable and having fun. I'm good with all ages, can help with homework or any learning based tasks, and I'm always down to make snacks or a simple meal while I'm there.

Safia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Safia and I’m currently a junior at the University of St. Thomas, studying finance. I love kids and have experience working with them my whole life — I have two younger siblings who I’ve babysat since I was young. I also worked at an autism center for 3 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m also comfortable with household chores and genuinely enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized. I have been a caretaker for my grandma, so I’m well experienced with senior care too. I am allergic to and scared of dogs, but happy to work with families with cats.
