Sada $20 per hour for 1 child

Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.

Lynnea $25 per hour for 1 child

I have always been a natural born care giver. Growing up with a brother nine years younger than myself in a single parent household, I took on a lot of responsibilities at a young age. I also babysat for a number of families in our neighborhood. Caring for my brother, making meals and helping out around the house. In my adult life I have worked as a full time nanny for a family with two young boys, an area that I was of course quite familiar to me. I have also been a step mother. I love kids, and although I don't have any of my own (yet!) I have enjoyed being a part of my niece's and nephew's lives and those of my friend's children. I am a very creative person. I love to learn and explore. I went to the University of Minnesota studying fine art. I later became a pastry chef. I have a passion for food and cooking. I love to teach and have fun. I think that learning should be fun! I am easy going. I love to get outside and explore nature. I am always there to lend a listening ear, a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. People have told me that I am a very kind, and insightful person. Honesty and values are very important to me and I take that very seriously. If you choose to hire me, I will hold your children accountable with kindness. I do not believe in yelling. In fact I very much dislike it. If I sound like a good fit for you and yours please get in contact. Thanks!

jacob $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jake and I attend the university of St. Thomas. I play wide receiver on the football team and I am involved in a few other clubs. I am a big people person and love to make people laugh. I have been a nanny for several years for kids of almost all ages. Growing up with two younger sisters and three younger boy cousins, Iโ€™ve gained a lot of experience and responsibilities taking care of them. I love to see kids thrive in school, sports, and other hobbies! I grew up with a chocolate lab so I am very used to being around/taking care of dogs. I am excited to meet you!
