Find a babysitter in Mendota, MN

Hello! My name is Amy, and I have over 10 years of experience working with kids, from babysitting and being both an au pair and a nanny in Australia, to teaching in different schools or camps as a preschool teacher, outdoor educator, middle school special education teacher, and substitute teacher in California and Minnesota. I would love to help you out with sitting your kiddo(s), as it is definitely a passion of mine. I love to help kids learn and grow all while having fun. I’d love to chat further with you!

Hi, my name is Avery! I'm a freshman at the university of Minnesota. I am offering child care, pet and house sitting, and household services. I've been working with kids of all ages for the past 3 years. My experience includes babysitting, volunteering at elementary schools, and working summers at a daycare. I've been petsitting for the past 6 years and have a dog of my own back home.

Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.

I'm a mother who raised my son with gentle parenting rooted in child development. As a single mom, I co-raised children with a trusted group of single mothers. I've cared for nieces, nephews, and cousins my whole life. I've also been a professional housecleaner. I'm trauma-informed, certified in health coaching, and believe in meeting children, pets, and senior adults where they are with patience, creativity, and respect.

My experience taking care of children started as an older sister that babysat and changed diapers. I babysat for families at my church and in my neighborhood. I became a lifeguard and swim instructor at age 16 and taught 3 year olds to 12 year olds how to swim. I worked with children that had Down syndrome, extreme autism and a 5 year old with no limbs except for a stub as an arm and a foot where a leg normally is. I trained cub scouts to get their life saving merit badges. I have helped with two women in their 90s with dementia. I love cooking and crafts and have many fun hobbies. I am willing to clean and care for animals as well.
