The Unexpected Babysitter: Prince's Early Days Caring for a Local Family
A family in Minnesota shares their memories of Prince as their childhood babysitter, offering a rare glimpse into the music icon's early life.
Before he rose to global stardom, Prince had a more modest role in the life of a local Minnesota family - as their childhood babysitter. For StoryCorps, the family is now sharing their memories of the young musician, providing a unique and endearing perspective on the music legend's early days.
The family, who lived near Prince's home in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen, recalled the time when they would eagerly await the arrival of their babysitter - a shy, but charismatic young man who would eventually become one of the most iconic artists of all time. Prince would often arrive at their doorstep, guitar in hand, ready to entertain the children with his musical talents.
