Find a last-minute babysitter in Dayton, MN

Hi- my name is Mackenzie and I’m looking for a family to care for! I have always loved babies ever since I was a little kid and knew I wanted to care for them someday. I have five siblings and two with disabilities. I have learned so much from my family and watching my siblings. I have plenty of years of experience between my family and babysitting on the side. I love all pets and have a cat of my own! I use to be a cleaner so I don’t mind doing any household chores that may be needed. I always tend to clean up regardless if asked of me or not. Thank you!

I have over 25 years of experience in early childhood education and hold an Early Education Certificate from Rasmussen College. I’ve cared for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years in childcare centers, as a nanny, and through babysitting. I love bringing arts, crafts, STEM activities, and games to make learning fun. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable driving, cleaning, caring for multiple children, and love animals. I’m very communicative and always follow each family’s routine and preferences.

Hello, I'm a happily married dog mom and love kids and care taking in general. I grew up in MN and got my master's in business at the U of M. I love the outdoors and often spend my free time hiking or gardening. I also enjoy intellectual and creative pursuits, including playing the violin and guitar, singing, dancing, reading, sewing, crocheting, and much more. I encourage curiosity and play while maintaining a safe environment, which I believe is vital for a caregiver. I have experience watching infants during church services and spent several years working with toddlers creating and teaching world religion classes. I also regularly care for school aged kids of friends and family. Senior care is also in my purview as I cared for my mother during her time in hospice. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you! CPR & First Aid Certified in 2026 for infants/children/adults.

Hi, care seekers! I'm a college degreed grandmother of 6 precious humans, and I'm a naturally caring, empathetic person. My BA is in a social services major, and I've worked both personally and professionally with adults, teens, and all ages of littles. I am patient, have that special "grandma energy," and can do everything from sing songs with your toddler to assisting your adolescent to make sense of that hard essay. As a good, health-aware cook, I can prep your ingredients for dinner (who doesn't need a sous chef?), or prepare the whole thing for the family, so you can come home to a hot meal, if that's what makes your life easier! Let me throw the laundry in the machine, load the dishwasher, iron your work shirts (does anyone do that anymore?), water the plants, get the mail, give your kiddo his snack, address your party invitations, play board games, and be there so your teenager has someone to ignore! Do you have an elder in the house? I will help your aged mom remember to take her meds, be sure she doesn't fall, play scrabble with grandpa, and prep their favorite sandwich with just the right amount of butter (that's important). I am respectful of all religions (or no religion), and will be sure to uphold your family's priorities so that your children have continuity within your home's environment. Just explain to me what your values are, and I'll consistently reflect them to your kids and elders (even if they are not my own values). I am friendly with all ethnicities. Do you have a special party coming up? If I'm available, we can work out some help with all the details to make your party run smoothly. I can prep a mean appetizer plate, set your table just so, assist with serving and clean up, and wrap those little gifts for your holiday event. Everybody needs some holiday help, right? Hit me up with what you envision, and we can lighten your load so you can have a little fun at your own event! Bonus: Sometimes I can even work on a holiday. I no longer host the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter feasts (my adult kiddos do that), so if you are desperate for someone to peel the potatoes or make candy cane reindeers with your kindergartener while you wrap presents (or vice-versa), just ask me if I can make that happen. Let's collaborate to brighten up your stressful life!

Hello! My name is Madeline. I am 21 years old and a recent college graduate, looking to do short term work as I apply for jobs in my field. I have five years of work experience as a lifeguard and swim instructor, where I worked with, cared for, and taught children ages 9 months to 15 years. I have informal babysitting experience through family and friends, and I am First Aid/CPR certified through the Red Cross. In my time instructing I often worked with children with disabilities, and would also be comfortable caring for nonverbal children. Aside from kids, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and fish! At the moment, I am free to work any day, any time :)
