I'm looking to pick up occasional evening/weekend babysitting jobs (sorry, but I am not available for regularly-scheduled jobs). I have over twenty years of experience in childcare and all it entails, from bottle feeding to potty training to night terrors. Some of my favorite activities with children include reading books, playing board games, and running around outside. I have also tutored children in reading and vocabulary. I'm certified in adult, child, and infant CPR and first aid. I'm comfortable with all pets, do not mind doing housework, and have my own transportation. I've been babysitting since I was 9 years old, and was always the most responsible kid in the neighborhood. My family did foster care while I was growing up, and my mother is a daycare provider. I have experience with children as young as two days to children as old as twelve years, though most of the children Read more I've sat for have been in the 2-8-year-old range. I also have experience with multiples, and kids with allergies, as well as special dietary preferences/rituals (e.g., keeping kosher). I have taught theatre to high risk youth (junior high age), and been a health educator for high school and college students. I play the violin, run 5Ks, and volunteer with Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota (RAGOM) and as a Hennepin County Master Recycler/Composter. In my day job, I work in recruiting. I like babysitting because I don't have many kids in my life otherwise (I don't have kids of my own), and the world is so different through their eyes! It's enriching to be around them and keep a perspective on what is really important in life. Plus, there's not a lot of other opportunity for a good make-believe session or game of tag in the rest of my life!

Bree was so fabulous taking care of our two kittens while we were out of town for a week. She texted us photos every time she visited, and clearly gave them lots of time and attention. She even asked if she should take out another container of food from the freezer so that it would be thawed by the time we returned. Highly recommended!

Bree did a great job of caring for our two cats while we were out of town for several days. She texted us photos of them, gave them attention, made sure they had the food and water they needed, and even brought in our mail, without us asking. The cats loved her and we will use her services again soon!
