Hi! My name is Florence and I love being a sitter because it’s really fun being part of a child’s early years and helping them learn and grow. I have experience babysitting for my cousins’ newborn babies and other children, and I also worked at a daycare for about a year. During that time I learned how to care for kids of different ages, keep them entertained, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and experienced with feeding babies and changing diapers. I’m currently in 12th grade and plan to become a clinical psychologist in the future because I enjoy working with and supporting children.
Anna $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm a happily married dog mom and love kids and care taking in general. I grew up in MN and got my master's in business at the U of M. I love the outdoors and often spend my free time hiking or gardening. I also enjoy intellectual and creative pursuits, including playing the violin and guitar, singing, dancing, reading, sewing, crocheting, and much more. I encourage curiosity and play while maintaining a safe environment, which I believe is vital for a caregiver. I have experience watching infants during church services and spent several years working with toddlers creating and teaching world religion classes. I also regularly care for school aged kids of friends and family. Senior care is also in my purview as I cared for my mother during her time in hospice. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you! CPR & First Aid Certified in 2026 for infants/children/adults.

Hi there! I have been taking care of folks my whole life. I began with helping my aunt through her cancer treatments. As an adult, I've worked as a Nanny teaching French, a babysitter for multiple children and most notably Adult Foster Care & Nursing Homes. I'm passionate about helping kids in particular. I love to see them grow and learn about the world, a child's curiosity is unmatched! I'm well versed in a variety of abilities and disabilities, as well as kids just being kids. I'd be honored to help your family <3
