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. My grandpa recently passed, and I believe everyone deserves to be taken care of properly at no matter what age. I can drive to appointments and do other tasks as well. I adore animals, I grew up with three cats. Now I have 3 dogs, I am happy to take dogs on walks and engage with pets!

Hello, I'm a happily married dog mom and love kids and care taking in general. I grew up in MN and got my master's in business at the U of M. I love the outdoors and often spend my free time hiking or gardening. I also enjoy intellectual and creative pursuits, including playing the violin and guitar, singing, dancing, reading, sewing, crocheting, and much more. I encourage curiosity and play while maintaining a safe environment, which I believe is vital for a caregiver. I have experience watching infants during church services and spent several years working with toddlers creating and teaching world religion classes. I also regularly care for school aged kids of friends and family. Senior care is also in my purview as I cared for my mother during her time in hospice. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you! CPR & First Aid Certified in 2026 for infants/children/adults.
With several plus years of hands-on experience in childcare, I bring a nurturing, responsible, and energetic presence to every family I work with. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to school-aged—adapting to each child’s unique personality, developmental stage, and needs. My approach focuses on creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I’m skilled in daily routines including feeding, diapering, naptime, and bedtime, as well as organizing age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, educational games, outdoor play, and reading time. I also support homework help and encourage positive behavior through gentle guidance and consistent routines. Parents trust me not only for my reliability and attention to detail, but also for my genuine love for children and ability to bond with them quickly. Whether it’s managing busy household schedules, handling unexpected situations with calmness, or simply providing a comforting presence, I am committed to supporting families with professionalism and care. I am currently enrolled as a college student, balancing my academic goals with my passion for childcare. I am also in the process of completing my CPR and First Aid certification to ensure even greater peace of mind for the families I work with.
