Booked by 4 families in Inver Grove Heights, 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 super flexible with us! My husband was told he would have to work late but his job ended up getting done early so he was home early but she was willing to stay later to help us out. I appreciated her quick communication and the kids really enjoyed hanging out with her!

Fadumo Cottage Grove
$25 per hour for 1 child

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.
