Booked by 1 family in Dayton, 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.

Lucy Elk River
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lucy and I am 19. I graduated with my AA degree from Crown College last year and currently work in healthcare with retired US veterans. I am currently in search of additional work hours in the hopes of putting more money into my savings. I am first-aid and CPR certified, and have my driver's and lifeguarding licenses. I am willing to do housework, meal prep, help with homework, and get children to-and-from daily activities if applicable. My schedule can be flexible, though I will need two weeks to communicate and coordinate any major changes with my other job. Thank you!

Hamdi Corcoran
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hamdi, and I have several years of experience working with children in both school and one-on-one settings. I have worked as a Special Education Paraprofessional and currently provide one-on-one care as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) for an individual with autism. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive. I enjoy helping children learn, play, and build confidence through engaging activities, homework help, outdoor play, reading, arts and crafts, and positive routines. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to provide care that meets each family’s individual needs. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and valued. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s support system!

Booked by 1 family in Dayton, MN

I have always been said to have a gift for caring for babies even when I was a baby myself. I have always wanted to help others which is why I am headed for the medical field. I am currently pursuing a BSN in biology with a minor in psychology, child development is something I have always been amused by and I find it an honor to be a part of a child’s development. Growing up the legal working age was 16 so I was babysitting for friends and family from ages 10-15. I still offer my services to this day. I have been a tutor to older kids, and a caregiver to their younger siblings while keeping the house tidy. At most I have cared for 3 siblings all at different developmental stages (ages 1-9). I have cared for newborns as well. I am a direct care professional for adults with special needs half time, I was also a PCA for elderly memory challenged clients.
