Hi, I’m Fadumo I am excited to start babysitting toddlers and teens are my specialty and bring my strong background in childcare to families in need of reliable support. I love driving and walking to parks and having long car drives. I also enjoy braiding hair and styling, it’s so peaceful to just bond over hair. I have a fear of cats but I have an even bigger fears of dogs. Growing up in a large family with many siblings, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I consistently took on responsibilities such as supervising daily routines, helping with homework, and creating engaging activities that promote both learning and fun. This experience has not only strengthened my ability to manage multiple children at once, but also taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and clear communication. I am confident that my nurturing personality, dependability, and proven childcare experience make me an excellent fit for families seeking a trustworthy caregiver.
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.
Hey, my name's Torsey. I come from a household of nine siblings, me being the middle child. I took care of my siblings, and naturally began babysitting afterwards. I'm tidy and goal-oriented, I love to learn and teach as well. I'm very well-versed in fitness, (particularly running and combat sports), writing, and history, and nutrition. No matter who I'm looking after, I will put my best put my best foot forward and provide the best care I can. Any skill of mine is a skill of my clients and their families.
Hi, my name is Liv & I am currently a Senior at the University of South Dakota where I am studying Marketing & am a member of the swim team! I have been a full time nanny the past 3 summers, and am nannying full time again this summer as well. I would love to connect and pick up some more hours!
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.
