A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Amelia, a recent University of Minnesota graduate with a degree in biology. I'm on the pre-med track and am planning to apply to medical school next year. I've worked as a Personal Care Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Emergency Room Technician, so I'm comfortable caring for people of all ages and staying calm in busy situations.
I'm responsible, reliable, and easygoing. I enjoy staying active, spending time outside, doing crafts, baking, and helping with homework. I love getting to know each child's personality and creating a fun, safe environment where they can learn and grow.
I'd love the opportunity to help your family however I can!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 26-year-old experienced grade school teacher with four years of teaching experience. My Master’s degree in teaching and classroom experience means that I have unique insight into developmental milestones and classroom readiness tools, as well as my CPR certification and exceptional preparedness in case of an emergency. Right after high school I worked as a CNA, so I have a minor background in healthcare as well.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I have a passion for caring for children of all ages, including toddlers as young as 1.5 years old, which I have mainly cared for in the summers between school years. In addition to looking after children, I'm also open to assisting with cleaning duties and meal prep, and I'm a great cook with excellent multitasking skills! I would love to bring my nurturing, educational approach to childcare while ensuring a safe, fun, and learning-filled environment for your little one!

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a Benedictine graduate fluent in English and Spanish, currently learning Assyrian. I’m looking to babysit for more flexibility to pursue my passions. I have experience caring for three kids—a baby and two in grade school—for a non-related family, plus I grew up in a large family with 14 nieces and nephews. In my family, I am known as the babysitter!
From 2019 to 2022, I nannied two of my nieces while following my sister's preferences, like no TV and specific routines. I enjoy being creative, especially drawing, and I love fostering a positive, fun environment for kids. I also use a Montessori approach to support their individual development.
I’m transitioning from a dental administrative career, and babysitting will allow me to focus on my creative goals. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your kids!
