Booked by 1 family in Maple Grove, MN

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.

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.
