Booked by 1 family in Centerville, MN

Hi! My name is Cailey and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable babysitter with 4+ years of childcare experience working in a daycare setting. I enjoy working with children and creating a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m experienced with caring for children of different ages (and multiples) and helping with daily routines, meals, activities, and bedtime. I’m patient, and dependable, and I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care!

“Cailey was absolutely wonderful! She was comfortable with our son right away, and because of her childcare experience, we really didn’t have to give much direction at all. Our son had such a great time with her, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. We’d love to have her back and any family would be lucky to work with Cailey! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Anna $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science, and will be graduating in May. I'm offering occasional babysitting, petsitting, and housesitting services. While I do not have as many years of experience babysitting or being a nanny, I do have experience working with kids of all ages! I've babysat kids ranging from 2 years of age to teenagers, and have cooked, cleaned, changed diapers, and entertained for the kids. Most importantly, through the 4-H, FFA, and Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations, I've learned how to facilitate educational and entertaining learning through a variety of activities. I'm very comfortable working with any type of pet! My experience with animals and veterinary medicine is a great asset while watching over your pet. I'm also comfortable performing a variety of household chores, and would be happy to help you out! I have a clean record, access to personal transportation, and am CPR trained for both humans and pets. I am mostly looking for occasional jobs due to a constantly-changing school and work schedule. I look forward to potentially working with you!

Kara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kara. I have a little 3 year old boy. I have 2 huskies and love spending time with with the family. I am from Minnesota and have grown to love the seasons( hahah especially now that I have huskies) We are always on the go and active. I know life gets crazy so I hope to alleviate some of the stress for families. I love forming connections with families in the community to bring that sense of community back. I am also a housekeeper and worked in Special Education for 15 years. I love helping people in anyway that I can. I grew up helping raise my nieces and nephews, as well as cousins. The pitter patter of little feet brings joy to my heart. I have worked with littles in elementary schools as well as adults in transition programs… and senior care as well. I currently work part time in a group home. I look forward to getting to know you!

Marta $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Marta and I’m a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, based out of northeast Minneapolis. I have a car and am willing to travel pretty much anywhere in the metro area. I am comfortable with small children, although no infants at this time due to my lack of experience there, as well as animals and seniors if needed. I have chronic pain but can do light housekeeping tasks and small errands if needed! Overall, I am a very competent and motivated worker and others would be able to attest that. I’m also extremely upbeat, fun, and positive! I’m determined to not let my chronic pain get in the way of my ability to work, so I’m taking proactive measures to manage it! I’m very flexible right now, as I’m only in school part-time. I don’t mind driving kids to sports games and appointments, it’s just lifting heavy objects like a ton of groceries that’s hard for me! Please let me know if you’re interested, thanks. :)
