Sada $20 per hour for 1 child

Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.

Laura $20 per hour for 1 child

My experience taking care of children started as an older sister that babysat and changed diapers. I babysat for families at my church and in my neighborhood. I became a lifeguard and swim instructor at age 16 and taught 3 year olds to 12 year olds how to swim. I worked with children that had Down syndrome, extreme autism and a 5 year old with no limbs except for a stub as an arm and a foot where a leg normally is. I trained cub scouts to get their life saving merit badges. I have helped with two women in their 90s with dementia. I love cooking and crafts and have many fun hobbies. I am willing to clean and care for animals as well.

Logan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Logan. I have had many years of experience babysitting children from newborn to ages 10+. I not only enjoy being around kids, but I also put a lot of effort into giving them appropriate support. My main goal is to provide a safe environment for your child (both physically and emotionally). I work full time during the day but have flexible availability over the weekend, in the morning (before 8:45am) and in the evenings (after 5:00pm). I look forward to hearing from you!

Katelyn $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Katelyn, and I am a Nursing major at the University of Minnesota. I am currently considering pursuing a career in Pediatric Nursing in the future! I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely love babysitting, it has been by far my favorite job so far! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have most of my experience with one particular family where I watched two kids (1-3 yrs and 4-6 yrs) for around 2-3 years. I have also babysat on a few other instances for various families. I have babysitting experience with toddlers and kids. I absolutely love spending time with children and pets, and I have past work experience with both parties!
