Find local babysitters in Columbus, MN

Hello, My name is Janette Dukowitz and I am 24 years old. I recently completed my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and am in search of positions regarding this field but have found myself still thinking about what I would like to do. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified since June 2022 and am recently certified as an Emergency Medical Responder as of May 2023. I like to keep things tidy and would not mind doing chores, etc. I have enjoyed taking care of my baby niece Ivani and many of my cousin's children. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask away.

After my "journalism" career (too many ad agencies and a faltering book industry), I began working with children, the elderly, and pets. Being a trusted, reliable presence in their lives provides a life balance that I enjoy, and utilizing a care provider with a good attitude is beneficial for everyone involved. For a few years (until I broke my arm skiing on too much ice), I worked part-time as a CNA (Cert. Nursing Assistant), but began spending more time as a substitute for teachers and paraprofessionals in local schools. When Covid came along, I teamed up with a family who wanted to keep a close watch on safety for their premature baby. I was lucky to find a temporary position that allowed me to return to this family to care for their second child, who is now in pre-school (I still babysit on their "date nights." I have raised two sons, one diagnosed with ADHD and the other with Asperger Syndrome (a high-functioning form of autism), conditions that often swim in the same genetic pool. I played on their strengths when offering activity choices to them, and today they are both doing well as young adults following their own career paths. When my children were very young, I taught Sunday school to grade-school-aged children while running a licensed in-home childcare center. I love to do individual outdoor activities that match the weather, although walking my shared Corgi must happen regardless of temperature or precipitation. I tend to eat very well -- my goal is to retain as much of my physical, spiritual, and mental health as possible. I love sharing this knowledge with little ones and helping them to grow into who they were meant to become.

Hi, I am Parker and I have been working with children for over 5 years through a couple different areas including my church and a non profit preschool. In these groups I have been involved in both a lesson and friend role. Through these experiences I have gathered a good understanding of how to best communicate and successfully connect with kids in my care. I prefer a gentle and calm approach to all situations as this matches my personality. I strongly believe that patience mixed with showing a real care for a child is the best way to create the important bond that is needed when parents are away.
