Find a babysitter in Navarre, MN

I have been working with children since I was 9 but officially started at 13, and I fell in love with it! I primarily watched and cared for my 6 younger siblings, along with many of my family and friends children. I've worked with kids of all ages and I am also experienced with working with children who have autism. I have 3 younger brothers who all have autism. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games or making fun craft projects! And on special occasions baking treats :). I love kids and I take pride in the patience and discipline I’ve learned from it. I always strive to do the best and to have a strong hardworking mindset. And I always take working with children to the heart.

Hello! My name is Tana and I am 24 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 14, and have experience with all ages of kids. I also have experience working as an Au Pair in Italy, and as an assistant language teacher in Bosnia. In my free time I like to spend time outside, crochet, read, and play guitar. I have a very positive attitude and love to have fun. When I am spending time with kids, I love to do arts and crafts, play outside, cook/bake together, dance, and play with toys.

Hello! My name is Acacia and I am a mom, entrepreneur, and avid animal lover. I have a great deal of experience with children of all ages. This experience comes from raising my own kids and from giving a helping hand to siblings and friends when they have needed it. In my early twenties I also worked for a year as a personal care attendant mostly with seniors, but also with a few children who had disabilities as well. In addition to this, I have also cared for my own grandparents in times of need and my father when he was fighting cancer. I grew up on a hobby farm which fostered a huge love of animals in me. I have a lot of experience with a large array of animals and currently own my own business in petcare that I do during the week. I am comfortable with most aspects of petcare and I am currently certified in pet first aid and CPR. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones better!

Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.

I've been a childcare provider for over seven years, motivated by my passion for fostering children's growth and development and my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn, play, and grow. As a patient, calm, creative, and friendly caregiver, I enjoy playing various games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children simultaneously and am available to provide references upon request. I hold CPR and First Aid certifications, and I follow the parents' preferred communication method to keep them informed about their child's day or any issues that may arise. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and learning more about your childcare needs.
