Kennesha $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kennesha. With over 10 years of dedicated experience caring for others, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, patience, and heartfelt commitment to childcare. My journey began in adult care, which deepened my compassion and understanding for individuals at all stages of life, and naturally extended to nurturing children. I have hands-on experience with every age group, from delicate infants to energetic school-age children. This has taught me the importance of adapting to each child's individual needs, fostering a safe environment for exploration, and supporting developmental milestones through engaging play and learning activities. Currently, I provide childcare out of my loving home. This setting allows me to offer a cozy, secure, and family-oriented atmosphere where your child will feel right at home. As a grandparent myself, I am also happily caring for my grandchildren, which means your little one will have the opportunity for positive social interaction in a small, familial group. My Credentials & Approach: · 10+ Years of combined experience in childcare and adult care. · Certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring your child's safety is my top priority. · A holistic focus on emotional well-being, respectful communication, and age-appropriate activities. · A safe, clean, and child-proofed home environment designed for play and growth. I believe in partnering with parents to provide consistent, reliable, and nurturing care. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver, and I am committed to offering peace of mind while your child is in my care. I would love to connect to discuss how I can support your family's needs!

Anna $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science, and will be graduating in May. I'm offering occasional babysitting, petsitting, and housesitting services. While I do not have as many years of experience babysitting or being a nanny, I do have experience working with kids of all ages! I've babysat kids ranging from 2 years of age to teenagers, and have cooked, cleaned, changed diapers, and entertained for the kids. Most importantly, through the 4-H, FFA, and Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations, I've learned how to facilitate educational and entertaining learning through a variety of activities. I'm very comfortable working with any type of pet! My experience with animals and veterinary medicine is a great asset while watching over your pet. I'm also comfortable performing a variety of household chores, and would be happy to help you out! I have a clean record, access to personal transportation, and am CPR trained for both humans and pets. I am mostly looking for occasional jobs due to a constantly-changing school and work schedule. I look forward to potentially working with you!

Alexandra $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Alexandra. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Minnesota. I am studying elementary education and child development. I love working with kids! My dad is the youngest of nine, so babies and kids have always been a part of my life. For the past four summers, I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor with the City of St. Paul. Currently, I volunteer in the school at the Ronald McDonald House and in high school I was a volunteer tutor at a homeless shelter, so I have lots of experience with homework help! I am also a huge animal lover. I love doing arts and crafts, getting outside, and playing games with kids!
