Kailyn $20 per hour for 1 child

Kailyn , from Prior Lake Hi! I am 18 and graduated highschool in january 2024. I am now in school to be a Radiologic Technologist! I am a very reliable, patient, and creative person who has approximately 6 years of experience caring for children, from infants to 12 years. I have had my license for 3 years with a clean driving record. I can help with light housekeeping, cooking, some carpooling, small errands. With me, your children will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. Personally, I'm a planner and a hard worker. I love to be outside and have fun! With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your little ones.

Chelsea $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chelsea! I’m a reliable, kind-hearted caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children and pets. With two boys of my own, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to keep your children safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available for evenings and weekends, including date nights — whether you need a quiet dinner out, time to run errands, or extra help. My boys do not come with me when I work with families, which means your child always has my full attention while you’re away. My approach is loving, calm, and flexible — but also fun and a little silly when the moment calls for it! I enjoy making kids laugh, being playful, and turning everyday moments into positive experiences. I love planning age-appropriate activities and am just as comfortable helping with meals, light tidying, homework, and bedtime routines as I am reading stories, crafting, and playing games. I’m also pet-friendly and have experience caring for family pets, plus I have a cat of my own named Gizmo who keeps life entertaining! Families describe me as dependable, consistent, and easy to work with. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your child — it’s to give you peace of mind and make your child’s time enjoyable. I’d love the opportunity to connect and learn how I can support your family, and I’m happy to provide excellent references upon request following a phone interview.

Booked by 5 families in Castle Rock, 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!

Julianna $14 per hour for 1 child

Hiya! I'm currently in college for Elementary Education, and with my 6 years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working in a Montessori daycare center, I know that childcare is where I am meant to be. I am certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and First Aid. I have experience with all ages 4mo-15yrs, and while littles are my favorite, I love spending time with kids of all ages! I am happy to help care for pets, from cats to dogs to hamsters or fish, and adore cooking/meal prep. When I'm not working, I love to spend my time outdoors, whether that's swimming with my little sister, exploring the woods with friends, or biking to town, and I could also talk your ear off about ECE pedagogy! Can't wait to meet you (:
