Find a last-minute babysitter in Andover, MN

Hello! My name is Madeline. I am 21 years old and a recent college graduate, looking to do short term work as I apply for jobs in my field. I have five years of work experience as a lifeguard and swim instructor, where I worked with, cared for, and taught children ages 9 months to 15 years. I have informal babysitting experience through family and friends, and I am First Aid/CPR certified through the Red Cross. In my time instructing I often worked with children with disabilities, and would also be comfortable caring for nonverbal children. Aside from kids, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and fish! At the moment, I am free to work any day, any time :)

Experience & Skills: I am responsible and caring, with extensive experience taking care of young children and seniors. I previously worked as a babysitter in White Bear Lake at my own home, which was more convenient for the parents. I also have experience with children of different ages, as I am a mother of four myself. I easily connect with both children and adults and create a safe, friendly, and comfortable atmosphere.

Hi, care seekers! I'm a college degreed grandmother of 6 precious humans, and I'm a naturally caring, empathetic person. My BA is in a social services major, and I've worked both personally and professionally with adults, teens, and all ages of littles. I am patient, have that special "grandma energy," and can do everything from sing songs with your toddler to assisting your adolescent to make sense of that hard essay. As a good, health-aware cook, I can prep your ingredients for dinner (who doesn't need a sous chef?), or prepare the whole thing for the family, so you can come home to a hot meal, if that's what makes your life easier! Let me throw the laundry in the machine, load the dishwasher, iron your work shirts (does anyone do that anymore?), water the plants, get the mail, give your kiddo his snack, address your party invitations, play board games, and be there so your teenager has someone to ignore! Do you have an elder in the house? I will help your aged mom remember to take her meds, be sure she doesn't fall, play scrabble with grandpa, and prep their favorite sandwich with just the right amount of butter (that's important). I am respectful of all religions (or no religion), and will be sure to uphold your family's priorities so that your children have continuity within your home's environment. Just explain to me what your values are, and I'll consistently reflect them to your kids and elders (even if they are not my own values). I am friendly with all ethnicities. Do you have a special party coming up? If I'm available, we can work out some help with all the details to make your party run smoothly. I can prep a mean appetizer plate, set your table just so, assist with serving and clean up, and wrap those little gifts for your holiday event. Everybody needs some holiday help, right? Hit me up with what you envision, and we can lighten your load so you can have a little fun at your own event! Bonus: Sometimes I can even work on a holiday. I no longer host the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter feasts (my adult kiddos do that), so if you are desperate for someone to peel the potatoes or make candy cane reindeers with your kindergartener while you wrap presents (or vice-versa), just ask me if I can make that happen. Let's collaborate to brighten up your stressful life!
