Duluth Babysitting
Find a Babysitter in Duluth, MN Without Starting From Scratch
Looking for a babysitter in Duluth? Poppins helps families find trusted, flexible childcare for date nights, changing schedules and backup care.
Not every family needs a full-time nanny. Sometimes you need dependable help for a few hours, a work event, a school break or a night out you have been trying to plan for weeks.
For families in Duluth and the Twin Ports, finding that kind of help can feel harder than it should. Asking around in Facebook groups can be hit or miss. Texting friends for recommendations only works if someone is available. And when your regular plan falls through, the last thing you want is to start from zero.
Duluth Poppins makes the process easier. We help families connect with trusted babysitting support through a more reliable, more thoughtful system. Whether you need occasional care, a better backup plan or a sitter you can keep coming back to, we are here to help you find support that fits your family.

Parents are not just hiring help. They are trusting someone with their children, their routines and their peace of mind. Duluth Poppins was built to make that process easier. Instead of relying on last-minute posts, word of mouth or trial and error, families get access to vetted caregivers and local support from someone who understands childcare work firsthand.

"As a first time user of this app, I was super apprehensive and actually almost cancelled our date night due to nerves. I was instantly put at ease after meeting "K". She was kind, showed up a few minutes early and engaged with the kids. She was respectful, and we were able to enjoy our date night out. We will definitely use "K" again."

The app was super useful. I messaged "H" last night with some details, and realized today that it was sent via regular text which was nice and direct. And helped when we had to call each other because of some construction on our street this morning. We figured out the “check out” feature together, and chatted about what we see on the app as the client vs. the sitter. Sounds like it works well for both of us!
"H" was great! She jumped right in and started playing with my daughter, and I felt comfortable leaving for my appointment. I could tell she was an experienced sitter. Definitely planning on booking her again soon!
Love the app and the convenience.

We recently used Poppins for a date night with my wife. This was recommended by a coworker of my wife, and we are glad we found them! "H" accepted our job, and she was fantastic with our 3 little ones (ranging from 6 months to 4 years old), as well as our dog, Tessy. "H" was extremely personable, and did a great job. Rochester Poppins made it incredibly easy to sign up for their monthly subscription, walk through the process virtually, and hire a babysitter easier than we imagined. We have used other service apps and found Poppins easier, more intuitive, more personable, and more valuable. We will continue to use them in the future and look forward to them expanding their business! We love small businesses and look to support them in our local communities!

After working with Poppins and getting many sitters from them, I fully trust who they send to watch my kiddos! The App is now an even more convienient way of requesting. I also love that I can request my favorite sitters everytime I use it!
