I have been babysitting for over 7 years working with children as young as 6 months up to age 10. I aspire to be a teacher and have received teacher training, so I know how to make learning fun and keep kids engaged. I love to sew and do arts and crafts, read, and play outdoors. I have a car for easy commutes and am very flexible to meet your childcare needs.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a current Macalester College Spanish and Sociology major who is passionate about working with kids. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor and one year of experience in after-school programming. My background has given me extensive practice coming up with engaging, creative, and educational activities for kids of all ages. I have received extensive safety and childcare training, including CPR and First Aid. I love cooking and baking and know how to teach age-appropriate food-safety skills to cook with kids. I grew up with food allergies, so I know how to take the best precautions to help kids with dietary restrictions. Another passion of mine is helping kids explore the world outside-- this fall, I'm taking a course specifically on Outdoor Environmental Education, so I have lots of new activities to try out!

Hi, I am Brandi. I am currently in my junior year at Metropolitan State University. I am offering child care, senior care and household services! I love spending time with family as it’s important to me! I have been babysitting for a couple years now. I enjoy doing activities such as coloring, playing games, and crafts with children. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care as well, I have been a caretaker for my grandparents for quite some time now.

I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. I chose this profession because I want to make a positive impact on their lives and support families by providing reliable child care. My formal and reserved nature complements my patient and calm demeanor, making me a comforting presence for children. I value open communication with parents and tailor my approach to their preferred methods. I ensure household rules are followed while prioritizing the parents' lead. I enjoy sensory and art activities that spark a child's creativity and individualism. I have a total of about 7 years of experience working in childcare centers, multiple different school districts and school programs. I'm ready to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to caring for your child. I am available to care for one child, aged 0 to 11 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
