Hello my name is Vajanique and I go by Vaj for short. I love and have a passion with taking care of children. I have been being doing so since I was 13 years old. I am currently in school finishing my early childhood education degree. I am also a mom to two wonderful children. While babysitting I love to play games, teach, do age appropriate activities and to be interactive.

Hi. My name is Miranda. Currently I am working as a substitute teacher at elementary schools. Thus, I have worked with an array of children. I have experience caring for infants and children of other ages. When babysitting, I like to do art projects with kids, read books, and take walks (if and when possible). I like being silly and goofy with children if they are up for it. I defer to the parents and the child as to what is best in terms of activities. I have housesat and cared for other people’s dogs and cats quite a bit. I can clean a house (I was a hotel maid for three months), cook meals, and run errands in my car. I'm responsible, dependable, and communicable. I have a master’s degree in public health and have lived long term in several countries. I welcome diversity.

Hello! My name is Brigid and I have been working with Kids for over 5 years! I have my Bachelor’s of Science in Education and two teaching licenses in Prek- 12th grade education! I am a full time preschool teacher but am always looking for some part time/occasional nannying or babysitting. I have over 5 years of experience with children as young as newborns to early high-school! Kids are my life and bring me so much joy. I have two younger siblings, (shown in my profile picture) 8 and 10, one with autism, that I have taken care of since they were born. Due to a difficult parental situation, I had lots of experience early on for caring for them as infants and toddlers, and let that carry me into working professionally with children since I was 15. I have great child care references I can provide and many past nanny/sitter familes I am still on great terms with and even visit for fun when I am back in my hometown! I am interested in all types of jobs, so feel free to reach out about anything! I make it a priority to make any space a child spends with me a safe one, and I encourage families of any and all backgrounds to not be shy to reach out, as I have grown up with a very mixed one myself:) Thank you for your consideration of me.

Hello! I’m glad you found my page! I am an experienced and attentive caregiver with over 15 years of babysitting experience including full-time nannying for six years, ELS teaching assistant for a semester and 4 years as a water safety instructor for children ages 6 months- 15 years old. I have experience caring full time while parents go on vacation, doing school pickup/drop offs or overnights. I majored in Psychology in college and took classes on childhood development. I have a complex understanding of meeting children where they are at and allowing them autonomy in discovering the world (safety always being the first priority). I am a present, engaging and active caregiver with lots of experience taking toddlers out for different activities around the city including the Como Zoo, MIA, Walker Art Center, MOA, the wilderness center, library story times, plays, children’s yoga, swimming, etc! I am a crafty person and I like to engage in different arts and crafts projects as well with the kiddos. A socialization and learning experience in one is my goal! I love cooking, trying out new recipes and having dinner parties truly sparks joy for me! One of my favorite aspects of Minneapolis summer is biking all around town and spending evenings on the beach or taking a kayak out on the lakes. As a lifeguard for 6 years I love the water and swimming whenever I get the chance. I regularly practice yoga. I’m an animal lover and often pet sit or volunteer at the humane society too! I’m happy to watch any furry friends!
