Find a babysitter in Lake Elmo, MN

Hello! My name is Kennesha. With over 10 years of dedicated experience caring for others, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, patience, and heartfelt commitment to childcare. My journey began in adult care, which deepened my compassion and understanding for individuals at all stages of life, and naturally extended to nurturing children. I have hands-on experience with every age group, from delicate infants to energetic school-age children. This has taught me the importance of adapting to each child's individual needs, fostering a safe environment for exploration, and supporting developmental milestones through engaging play and learning activities. Currently, I provide childcare out of my loving home. This setting allows me to offer a cozy, secure, and family-oriented atmosphere where your child will feel right at home. As a grandparent myself, I am also happily caring for my grandchildren, which means your little one will have the opportunity for positive social interaction in a small, familial group. My Credentials & Approach: · 10+ Years of combined experience in childcare and adult care. · Certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring your child's safety is my top priority. · A holistic focus on emotional well-being, respectful communication, and age-appropriate activities. · A safe, clean, and child-proofed home environment designed for play and growth. I believe in partnering with parents to provide consistent, reliable, and nurturing care. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver, and I am committed to offering peace of mind while your child is in my care. I would love to connect to discuss how I can support your family's needs!

After babysitting friends children and my own nieces and nephews for 20 years. I’ve recently started doing it for others. My friends and family will tell you that I really like kids and kids really like me. I'm good at crafting, helping with homework, and keeping kids busy away from the screens. In addition to the babies and toddlers I am presently nannying, I currently have three nieces who are 7, a niece who is 10, nephews that are 14 and 18 and nieces that are 20 and 21. So I am familiar with child development from birth to adulthood. What I love about little ones is how fast they learn and they change so much it’s like meeting a new kid every week! I’m not just an occasional babysitter. I have been with these kids anywhere from 10 to 30 hours a week depending on the week. If I’ve learned one thing it is that every child is different, every parent is different and clear communication is the key to success. I will work hard to meet your expectations, ask questions where necessary and use my judgment in emergencies. I’m a non-smoker, I have a reliable car and I am fully vaccinated for COVID and everything else. I am CPR certified and I have taken classes in SIDS/abusive head trauma and pediatric first aid.

Hi! My name is Beydan and I am currently a senior at the University of Minnesota I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for kids of all different ages! As the oldest in my family, I’ve always been the one looking after the little ones, so being around kids has always felt super natural to me. I also spent two years working with children at autism centers, which gave me even more experience working with different personalities and needs. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s playing games, doing activities, helping with homework, or just hanging out and keeping them entertained. I’m patient, easygoing, dependable, and would love to be someone your family can feel comfortable and happy having around!
