Booked by 5 families in Minneapolis, MN

56 year old retired mother of 2 adult children and small dog looking for some extra cash and getting out. I’m very experienced neurotypical kids but also with autism/spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety and mental health challenges kids sometimes face. They don’t phase me! 20 years of meditation has cultivated a calm, loving and patient perspective in me. Modeling this helps deregulated kids and even seniors who can get easily overwhelmed by life. Let me help them and cover for you while you take care of errands, appointments or yourself! Looking forwards to meeting you!

“Lisa was a great calming presence and did great with our son, we would love to have her back again!”

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

I have experience working with both children and teens in a mental health treatment center as well as at home respite care/PCA and childcare. I've worked with children and teens with ADHD, FAS and trauma. I have a BA in psychology and music which drives my love for exploring each of my client's unique individuality and their creative interests.

Ella $22 per hour for 1 child

I am currently a senior at the University of St. Thomas, majoring in Business Administration and minoring in Leadership and Management. I am 21 years old and have been working with children since I was 14. I started as a gymnastics coach, where I have worked with children of many different ages and personalities. This experience has taught me how to be patient, responsible, encouraging, and adaptable while still making sure kids are having fun. I currently nanny and babysit for three families, mainly for occasional date nights, and I am looking for opportunities to help families more regularly when needed. I have also worked with younger children at the USA Cup and have experience caring for my younger brother as he grew up. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and helping make parents' lives a little easier. When I am with kids, I love finding ways to keep them active and entertained rather than just sitting around. I enjoy arts and crafts, creating fun games and activities, playing outside, taking kids to their favorite places, driving them to activities, and supporting them at their sporting events. I have a sports background myself, so I especially enjoy working with active kids and families. I am a very patient, creative, bubbly, and caring person. I also understand that being a caregiver means taking responsibility for more than just watching the kids. I always clean up after activities and meals and try to leave the home even better than I found it. I am happy to help with household tasks when needed and want parents to feel like they can rely on me. I am also very comfortable caring for pets. I have a cat of my own that I love, two dogs at my mom's house, and I have cared for pets while nannying for families in the past. I am both a cat and dog lover and am happy to help with feeding, playing, walks, and general pet care. Overall, I would describe myself as dependable, energetic, organized, and someone who truly enjoys helping others. My years of experience working with children, along with my leadership background and outgoing personality, allow me to create a safe, positive, and fun environment for the families I work with.
