Makya $28 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a strong background working with children of all ages. I currently work as a Special Education Assistant with Minneapolis Public Schools, where I support students with diverse needs, including behavioral, emotional, and developmental support. As a mom of three, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience maintaining clean and organized homes through my cleaning business, so I naturally keep spaces tidy and comfortable. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported and giving parents peace of mind.

Hi! I’m Raegan! I’m 18 and finishing high school In may! I’ve always loved kids and spending time with them and I have 6 siblings myself. I’ve been babysitting (paid) since I was 11 and find most of my clients through my church. I have experience with all ages of kids and especially love working with toddlers and being involved in their development! I love to spend time with my families and get close to everyone and see the kids grow! I’m very creative and athletic! I’ve been in sports since I was young and love spending time outside! I also like crafts, makeup, and dress up! I’ve worked with all pets as well and especially love dogs! I’ve had dogs in my house growing up. I am very happy to clean, do dishes, laundry, and anything else that is asked of me but I like to at least do the dishes and clean up the play spaces during my time in someone’s house. I love academics and learning and would love to help with anything such as learning to read, or any homework! I have a baby cpr certification and first aid certification!

Paramitha $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent grad from Wayzata High School; incoming freshman at Macalester College! My caregiving journey began through teaching Indian dance to children between the ages of 4 and 13. This role allowed me to create a fun, culturally rich, and structured environment where kids could build confidence, and learn discipline through movement. It also gave me insight into how different children learn and communicate, helping me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. In addition to my teaching background, I’ve worked with children from infancy to 14 years old in a domestic violence shelter, where I provided supervision and emotional support. This experience required a high level of sensitivity, flexibility, and calmness, as I supported kids navigating trauma and transitions. I learned how to quickly build trust, create a sense of safety, and meet children’s emotional and physical needs in a thoughtful, nonjudgmental way. I’m experienced in managing multiple children at once, maintaining routines, and responding to a wide range of behaviors with empathy and consistency. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, helping with homework, or just being a comforting presence, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine love for helping others. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks, organization, or pet care as needed. My goal in every caregiving role is to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment for children. I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with kids, and would love to use my academic and artistic experiences to go through some engaging activities with them!

Alana $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a healthcare worker with over 10 years of experience as a nurse assistant. I have worked on many different floors with many different patient populations. The most recent position I held and my all time favorite was working on a PostPartum floor for 4 years taking care of new moms and their newborn babies. I absolutely adored taking care of the precious little babies and being involved in such a beautiful and important time in so many people's lives. In the past I have also done home health for an older child with cerebral palsy, as well as babysat and helped raise children from ages 2 all the way to 13. In my personal life I love hiking and camping, but I also enjoy playing videogames and have a fairly indepth knowledge on how online gaming and how to apply proper parental controls and limits so children can safely navigate in that environment (if that is allowed within your parenting style). I also am comfortable with most pets and animals and providing their basic cares.

Booked by 1 family in Crystal, 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
