Kaitlyn Lake Elmo
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Kaitlyn I'm 31 years old and I work as an LPN downtown. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade and that was the only job I had throughout high school. I babysat 2 little boys every Wednesday and sometimes I would come over on the weekends if I was needed. I have 2 baby nephews that I watch so I am still around children a lot helping out with whatever my sister needs help with. I grew up with a variety of animals from birds, fish, dogs, cats, hamsters, turkeys, ducks, frogs, crawfish, sea monkeys, etc. I love animal all of gods creatures deserve love even spiders. My mother worked at the Animal Humane Society when I was growing up and so not only did we have a variety of pets at home that we cared for, but we would also go to her work and volunteer and take care of the animals there as well. I also spent a lot of time with my grandmother when I was growing up so I would help her a lot and then eventually when I went to college I got my CNA license and throughout college the only places I worked were assisted living places and also in the memory care area. Flexible to discuss the pay rate and hours.

$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting for well over 10 years, beginning in high school. I have experience with all ages, but the most experience with infant-2 years. I was a teacher in a learning center in the infant room for 2.5 years, have been a nanny for more than 6 families, all but one with an infant at start. I also have helped with my niece and nephews since they were newborns. I am adaptable, a quick learner, and able to multitask effortlessly. I believe that caregivers are a huge part of young children’s lives and can aid or deter development depending on the care given. I believe in teaching emotional regulation, working through big feelings together, and teaching positive morals and values to help young children grow, learn, and become the best versions of themselves.
