Jada was an excellent babysitter for our 6 month old! She was kind and attentive to our baby, and she was trustworthy and communicative.

Mara is always on time and communicative. If we go too long without a date night, my kids are asking "When will we see Mara again??" Mara is the standard we measure others against when for discussing care for our children.

Mary P., Child Care in Shakopee, MN 55379 with 30 years of paid experience

I first started on sitter city in 2008. It did not take long to meet and care for the children of several families. Many of the relationships were long term so I became inactive on the site. My last family moved just before Covid took hold. I had just updated my child infant CPR and first aid as I intended to start looking again. That didn’t happen because of Covid so I’m starting again now. I did raise 6 children of my own, worked as a nanny for 10 years and have been actively babysitting for Sittercity families for 10 years. I’m looking for evening sitting opportunities for date nights or class nights. I recently have had the opportunity to care for children for 1-3 days while parents have a gap between nanny’s or are visiting or in town for work. I am enjoying those opportunities and am happy when they fit into my schedule. I limit the parameters of my searches so feel free to share your job with me if you think we might be a good fit.

Mary was wonderful with my 10-year-old son while I was in Minnesota for work. She was incredibly responsible, dependable, and diligent, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. Even better, she made the time really fun for him, taking him to the Mall of America, Valleyfair amusement park, and many other activities. My son said he had an amazing time and hopes to come back to MN again soon. I would absolutely recommend Mary to other families!

I sent messages to five separate potential sitters and Alexis was the only one to respond. She was very friendly and my children had a great time with her. We will definitely ask her to sit again for us in the future.

I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, I have experience with infants- elementary age. I took care of twins 3 months until they were 3 years old, frequently babysitting them. I have a natural talent with kids, and I have pets as well, therefore I can take care of them. I like to clean and cook and I am great at multitasking. I am very playful, and I tend to be a kid at heart, I am also very patient with kids, and love to watch and help kids learn.

Lauren was communicative and responsible, our 3 boys loved having her and we would definitely have her back! She jumped right into play with them, and found ways to quickly connect with them over their interests. We would recommend!

Daisha J., Child Care in Shakopee, MN 55379 with 13 years of paid experience

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Charlene is a wonderful and experienced childcare provider. Her personal values lead her to insist on high standards in childcare. It was evident that she genuinely cared for my son and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. If she decides in the future to work in a full time childcare setting (at her home or at a center), I hope to have my son under her care.
