Hi Families, I may be new to this app, but I am definitely not new to child care! I got my first job at a child care center in Rosemount when I was 16 years old working in the infant room. I worked there for a year and a half, then spent a year in the toddler room (changing more diapers than I could possibly count). I continued to work there while I was in college, and became the “lead teacher” of the preschool room! During this time I spent two summers nannying for a family that had two identical twin four year old boys, and an 8 year old girl two-three days a week. I also had countless babysitting jobs on the weekends! I eventually had to leave my kids at that day care when I was 20 years old because I got a job at the university of Minnesota’s Child Development Center working with the 4 and 5 year olds. I also was involved in a research project called Chicago Longitudinal Study promoting early education for low income neighborhoods around this same time. I graduated with a Developmental Psychology degree (also knows as Child Psychology) and began my Masters program in Clinical Social Work with a speciality in family and children. I now work at a elementary school in Hennepin county as the school therapist for the children! I’m looking to use my experience to make some extra money to pay off some of the student debt. I’ve always loved working with kids, and I have the experience and education to back it up! I have experience with all ages, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! I’m willing to negotiate on pricing depending on the situation.
I was born and raised in the area and grew up with pets of all kinds. I currently cannot have pets but I love to care and spend time with animals and would love to help you with yours.
Hi, I’m Maria! I have a background in Civil Engineering and work full-time during the week, but I’m available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I have experience caring for children of all ages and truly enjoy supporting families however I can—whether that’s helping with homework, playtime, or bedtime routines. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to step in when you need an extra hand!

Hello! I am Maddy and I am a student at the University of South Florida. I am offering child-care and dog-care services (open to other pets, just no previous experience). I love working with children, and I have experience with all ages, and I have worked the most with ages 4-9. I have experience driving children, making simple meals, tutoring, arts and crafts, and gymnastics coaching! I worked at Little Feet Children’s Shoes and North Shore Gymnastics Association in high school and have babysat for my younger cousins. I am comfortable with dogs and have watched dogs for family and friends. I look forward to working with you!
