I've been working with children for the last fifteen years! I started at Kumon Math and Reading before becoming a nanny for two families in Minnesota. I graduated from Northwestern in 2020 with degrees in Theatre, Marketing, and Film. Upon moving to LA, I became a full time nanny responsible for Zoom preschool and kindergarten. Although I've transitioned into working marketing back in the Twin Cities, I still love helping out as a date night sitter or part-time nanny.

She's great! From the moment she walked in she got down to our toddlers level and started playing with her. She's super attentive and amazing at communication. We'd definitely recommend her as we plan to bring her back for our next date night! :)

Hi! My name is Gloriahna. I have a passion for childcare and have a care for all children, especially the ones that I work with. I have worked with kids for 9+ years now. The most current position being a teacher at New Creations Child Care Learning Center. I have also worked as a family babysitter, a church daycare teacher, and a camp counselor for multiple age groups. I make it a priority to provide the best care and attention of any child that is in my care. I believe in this next generation and want to help the kids grow up the best way that they can! Added bonus: I also have years of pet care experience, so I’m here for all childcare and/or pet care needs!

Yadani $17 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and caring sitter who enjoys working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment. I have experience babysitting family members and teaching children ages 5–9 at my church, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids engaged and active. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting jobs, such as date nights or weekend help, and I’m happy to assist with things like meals, light cleanup, and bedtime routines.

alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am a caring and compassionate caregiver who truly finds joy in helping others. I always prioritize the needs and comfort of those around me, whether it’s children, adults, or animals. I have a strong sense of empathy that allows me to connect deeply and understand what others need, often before they even say it. I’m especially great with kids — patient, playful, and understanding — and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Helping others in any way I can isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.
