Lucy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lucy and I am 19. I graduated with my AA degree from Crown College last year and currently work in healthcare with retired US veterans. I am currently in search of additional work hours in the hopes of putting more money into my savings. I am first-aid and CPR certified, and have my driver's and lifeguarding licenses. I am willing to do housework, meal prep, help with homework, and get children to-and-from daily activities if applicable. My schedule can be flexible, though I will need two weeks to communicate and coordinate any major changes with my other job. Thank you!

Maddie $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Madison and I am passionate about creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for children to thrive! Always ready with a story, a game, or crafts! I am dedicated to shaping nurturing spaces for children while embracing my new adventure in architecture and construction. Prior to my current career I was a full-time daycare teacher for 6 consecutive years. In my free time I love to paint, color, exercise, spend time with my niece, and go for bike rides!

Mackenzie $18 per hour for 1 child

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!

Moon $20 per hour for 1 child

Experience & Skills: I am responsible and caring, with extensive experience taking care of young children and seniors. I previously worked as a babysitter in White Bear Lake at my own home, which was more convenient for the parents. I also have experience with children of different ages, as I am a mother of four myself. I easily connect with both children and adults and create a safe, friendly, and comfortable atmosphere.

$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Elk River, MN

Hi! My name is Florence and I love being a sitter because it’s really fun being part of a child’s early years and helping them learn and grow. I have experience babysitting for my cousins’ newborn babies and other children, and I also worked at a daycare for about a year. During that time I learned how to care for kids of different ages, keep them entertained, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and experienced with feeding babies and changing diapers. I’m currently in 12th grade and plan to become a clinical psychologist in the future because I enjoy working with and supporting children.
