On average, parents can expect to pay between $18 to $29 per hour for one child, with babysitter rates increasing by $1 to $3 per hour for each additional child. It’s important to note that last-minute bookings may incur higher rates, typically an additional $2 to $3 per hour.

Q: What is the difference between a babysitter and a nanny in Lake Elmo?

Hi. I’m Kassie. My friends call me the “baby whisperer”. I wanted a ton of kids, but was not blessed with my own, so getting to help parents and take care of kids is truly my passion. I’m the most punctual person on the planet, responsible and reliable, with tons of nanny experience. Look forward to meeting y’all!

Hi everyone, I am 19 years old and recently finished my first year of college and looking for a summer nanny position. I enjoy working with kids and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them! I’m comfortable around all kinds of pets and don’t mind helping with their care. I can also help with cleaning, preparing meals and snacks, and providing transportation to activities, practices, or appointments. I am adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified and I have my own reliable transportation and a clean driving record. If you think I might be a good fit for your family or would like more information, feel free to message me.

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
