I'm a 50+ year old single mom to 2 college students looking to make some extra money to help with college expenses. I babysat regularly from the time I was 11 until my kids were about 4 and occasionallysince then. I have worked in several day care centers and as a pca for special needs kids before I embarked on my career as a librarian. My kids are both mildly autistic, so I have some experience dealing with some issues autistic children face. I especially love working with infants and toddlers, but all kids are great.

Denise was a wonderful babysitter to our 4.5 year old son with special needs. He's been asking us when she's coming back! She has a very calming presence and was very attuned to his needs. We felt very comfortable leaving her with him. She had a strong understanding of neurodiversity and understood his unique personality. We will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future for any care needs!

Katy continues to be wonderful as we keep booking her to watch our daughter. She is so caring and my daughter was instantly comfortable with her. We feel so great when she is watching her and we know our daughter is safe and cared for.

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Bronwyn A., Babysitter in Elko, MN 55020 with 7 years of paid experience

I have been a paid babysitter for the past seven years for family friends and neighbors. Before coming to college I worked for nine months as a nanny for three children under two years old. I have been Red Cross Babysitter certified and have gotten additional child care training from working in summer camps through PP&R. I have babysat for children 3mo to 10yrs old. I enjoy babysitting because I like being able to meet children at their level and allow them to explore and grow in a safe and positive environment. I love playing with children and interacting with them in a creative and collaborative way. I love getting to know each child and integrating myself into the unique culture of each family.

Bronwyn has been our rock for the last year. We have 3 kids under two years of age and she handles them all in stride. She’s responsible and trustworthy. She also is very helpful in promoting engaging childhood development activities.

I have grown up around kids my whole life and love to help out when I can! My mom has done in home daycare since I was in 1st grade, so I’ve surely learned a lot from her. I also have two young nephews I’ve helped raise!

Skyelar was amazing with my 2 dogs. They are a little wild and sometimes overwhelm people but she loves them and has been with us 2-3 times now. I have a lab & gsp so kinda large & in charge breeds, I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again ever. You won’t regret leaving your furry babies with her, she will watch them like they are her own!

Andrea P., Babysitter in Elko, MN 55020 with 10 years of paid experience

My first babysitting gig was when I was 10 or 11 years old. Since then, I have had all kinds of babysitting and caregiving jobs, as well as raising two amazing children of my own. I love doing art projects, going for bike rides, having Nerf wars and water balloon fights and doing age-appropriate science experiments and building projects. If you prefer a more calm sitter, I can absolutely bring that energy instead. I love children and have decided to look for babysitting gigs to supplement my income while I start to pay for college for my own kids and hopefully save for a dream vacation someday. I'm mainly looking for random or semi-regular weekend gigs and, potentially, occasional weekday evenings. I have two adult children and an adorable pit bull rescue dog. I have experience working with kids of all ages, including experience working with kiddos on the spectrum. In my free time I like to be with family, play recreational sports, go on bike rides and read.
