Find infant babysitters in Inver Grove Heights, MN

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.

I have done a variety of caregiving jobs from age 18 to currently 25. I have three years of professional experience on Wag! as an animal caregiver, caring for more than 400 pets. This includes walking, feeding, sitting or boarding, medication management, “aggressive” breeds, senior animals, and puppies. I currently take care of my own grandmother who is 83- experience extends to household care, deep cleaning, decluttering, trash hauling, heavy lifting, animal care in conjunction to senior care, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and administering medication. I have been a Nanny and a camp counselor lead for 4 seasons which includes care from ages 4-17, special needs (ASD), 24-hour care, enrichment activities, transportation, medication management, swimming lessons (lifeguard certified), and tutoring. I also have extensive experience in household care as my mother owns and operates a cleaning company- it’s in my blood! I have worked on projects that include hoarding, major reorganization, building small furniture, deep cleaning, extensive plant care, garden maintenance, and everyday upkeep. I prioritize functionality and sanitation.

Hello, my name is Jasmin and here is a little bit about me. I have 3 younger siblings whom I have baby sat and raise throughout the years. In my personal experiences, I have babysat children from ages 2 and up and jobs consisted of helping with homework, playtime, and bedtime duties. Implement developmentally appropriate entertainment, fair discipline and creating stimulating environment for children in my care. I can clean, organize, work well with both as an individual or part of a team, and complete a request to the prime of my capacity. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorder and Sciences and a doctorate degree in Audiology. Throughout my studies and I have taken three child development courses. I see how many of the different topics I learned in my child development classes help me in my interactions with the children and I have applied many strategies I have learned in applying fair discipline and a stimulating environment while the children are in my care. I admire working with children and create activities to keep entertained, imaginary play, dancing, board games, and an aptitude for arts and crafts. I have excellent communication skills and I enjoy talking to and helping out people. I pride myself in taking on challenges and growing and learning from my different experiences whether they are good or bad. Any experience is a good learning experience. I look forward to the contingency I gain and the household I will accommodate. Thank you.

Hi - My name is Safia and I’m currently a junior at the University of St. Thomas, studying finance. I love kids and have experience working with them my whole life — I have two younger siblings who I’ve babysat since I was young. I also worked at an autism center for 3 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and supporting children with diverse needs. I’m also comfortable with household chores and genuinely enjoy cleaning and keeping things organized. I have been a caretaker for my grandma, so I’m well experienced with senior care too. I am allergic to and scared of dogs, but happy to work with families with cats.

I’ve always had a natural affinity for children, having cared for my younger siblings and cousins since I was little. Being CPR certified gives me the confidence to ensure that every child feels safe and secure in my care. I love to create fun and engaging activities, whether it’s arts and crafts or imaginative games, while still maintaining a structured environment. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and nurturing, always going the extra mile to help children feel comfortable and valued. My ability to connect with kids, combined with my experience and vigilant nature, has made me a trusted and beloved babysitter in my community.
