Hi - I remember the first time I left my babies with a sitter, so I know how difficult this can be. I'm going to do my best to make it easier for you. I've taught 3rd-6th grade, Summer School & Saturday Academy in St. Louis Park. I specialize in infant and toddler care, but truly love children of all ages. As a mother of twins, I have had extensive experience with diapers, bottles and caring for multiples. Additional experience includes; Girls Scout Leader, Certified Ski Instructor, Dance Instructor and Camp Counselor. As a certified teacher in the state of MN, my state required background check is on file with Education MN. I am also CPR and First Aid certified (infant/child/adult). I'm available weekdays, weeknights, weekends and overnight. I have a 5-star rating from 30+ families. Please reach out if you think I might be a fit. Thank you.

If you are looking for a person to trust with your little one, stop looking! We met Renee when our son was only 2 months old and she soon became a part of our family. Whenever we needed her, she was there for us. Not only for our son but she has been a constant support for my family ever since. We trusted her for a few hours and even for a week when my wife and I had to travel. Renee has been an integral part of my son's development and honestly my wife and my development as parents. I trust Renee with my son more than I do my family. In fact, even though we are out of state, I would bring her here if needed. If you can have with your little ones, you can trust they will be getting the BEST possible care and love. 

Renee has been fantastic with my little one the past few months (7-10 months old). She is excellent about sending lots and pictures and video updates throughout the visit (they are always happily playing within minutes of Renee's arrival), and she seamlessly adopted our nighttime routine. Renee is very experienced and capable and has made me much more comfortable leaving the little one at home for the occasional date night.

Renee was great with our 9 month old! She was available on short notice, and volunteered to stay a little later than we had originally planned.  We appreciated her flexibility. She sent us updates throughout the evening that all was well at home, which allowed us to enjoy our night out. Renee was warm and kind, and our son didn't take long to feel comfortable around her. We hope to hire Renee again soon.

Renee was the first sitter we've hired since moving to Minneapolis. Naturally we were nervous how the kids would do, but we came home to 2 happy children after a night out. Renee is very caring and loving to the kids and is excellent in communicating. She texted us pictures while we were out so we'd know everything is OK at home. We look forward to having Renee back again soon!

Renee was amazing. She made us feel assured that she would take care of our little one. Also our 3 year old loved her, she played with him, read with him and got him to bed on time. She was attentive, prompt, and kept in contact while we enjoyed out parents night out. Will definitely hire again. Thank you so much Renee.

Renee watch my 4 month old son and 1 year old nephew two nights in a row. She did a wonderful job with both of them! Great communication and updates which gave us peace of mind that the boys were doing fine while we were away. Would definitely recommend!

Hired Renee as our first babysitter ever and she was amazing. She really spent time making our son feel comfortable with her before we left and was clearly very caring. Our two-year old woke up the next morning asking where she went. We would definitely hire her again!

Renee has cared for our 2 children - a 3-year-old and 9-month-old - multiple times, and we continue to be so impressed by how caring and thoughtful she is about all of us. Her joy and sincerity are apparent from the moment she steps into our home, and our children sense that before she even says a word. It is truly a gift she has. To this day, our 3-year-old gets so excited when we tell her Renee is coming over, and will continue to ask about Renee for days after their day/evening together.  Not only she is amazing with the children, she sends regular feedback via text and photos when you're way. It is so reassuring and allows us to truly enjoy our date nights! Thank you Renee, you are so special to us.

Renee was amazing with our 16 month old! She dove right into playing and interacting with our daughter who also took to her very quickly. We enjoyed a friends long wedding day/night out with many happy updates from Renee that put me at so much ease! I can't say enough positive things about hiring Renee and our experience with her, she made my first time "stranger" babysitting experience an absolute dream. We can't wait to have her back in our home to watch our daughter again!


As a first time mom, I was dreading the day I had to leave my little baby for the first time. The day came and we asked Renee to watch our little girl. Renee made it as easy as possible to leave her though. She sent me pictures throughout the night to let me know my little girl was happy. I was able to enjoy my first night out without my baby. Thank you so much Renee! 

Renee is truly an angel. My family and I were in Minneapolis for my cousin's wedding and we have a 7 month old baby boy. We knew we were not going to be able to bring him to the rehearsal dinner or wedding evening, so we decided to go on care.com (where we found our nanny back home in California) and look for someone to watch him both nights. When I connected with Renee and read her reviews, I felt incredibly good about our decision. And then the second she arrived at our rental home in Minneapolis, my husband and I were completely at ease, and so was our little baby boy. He adored her!! She sent us tons of videos and photos of our son, took him to the park, and really cared for her like he was her own. I couldn't recommend Renee more -- she is meant to do this and our hearts are incredibly grateful for her kindness and compassion! Thank you, Renee!! If we are ever back in Minnesota, we will be calling you :)

Renee recently babysat for our 6-month old, and she was the first non-family babysitter we ever had. It was clear from Renee's reviews alone that she was excellent with babies, and she made us feel so incredibly comfortable right from the start. She even sent us a few pictures to let us know all was good at home while we were out enjoying our night. We can't wait to use Renee again!

Renee is wonderful with our son.  She also took care of our 5 year old nephew and he asked if he could have a play date with Ms. Renee the next day!  We have never had a better caregiver for our child and definitely appreciate Renee!  

Renee was the first babysitter my wife and I used for our 2 month old boy.  It was really hard at first thinking that we would be away from him and leaving him with someone we met online, but those fears were immediately dissipated when Renee showed up.  The way she held him and just navigated child care with such ease was really reassuring.  She listens to the schedule you have and sticks to it.  The best part is the check in pictures.  Every 30-45 minutes she sent us an update of our baby playing or sleeping just to let us know that everything was going well.  Highly recommend her to anyone looking to make the jump to care-giving for an infant.   

Renee watched our 8 week old son and made us feel comfortable from the moment she arrived. We knew she was very experienced instantly as she held him and from the questions she asked. We also really appreciated the text and picture updates throughout the evening. She was very professional, considerate of our home and our requests for our son, and friendly. Renee is exactly what we were looking for in a babysitter and we certainly will hire her again! 

Renee was the first babysitter we hired for our 3 month old.  She did a great job and kept us informed with cute pictures throughout the evening to keep our minds at ease.  We will definitely contact her again when we need another sitter!

Renee is the first sitter we have left our 3 month old daughter with. She was not only very professional, but made me feel so so comfortable while we were away! We definitely hope to use her again next time we are in Minneapolis!
