Find experienced babysitters in Northfield, MN

I grew up with a much younger brother and participated in his care since his birth. I started babysitting outside of the home at the age 12, and have consistently been involved in the care of children through the years. In college, I started working with adults who were either developmentally or physically disabled. Additionally, I spent five years employed at a school that specializes in working with children diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. I currently babysit most frequently for ages one through five, however I do work daily with children 7th grade to 12th grade. I am comfortable working with children of any age. I come from a pet-free house and I do not have any of my own children. My care-giving philosophy is based on love, patience and understanding of the child in my care. I believe children should be raised according to the philosophy of the parents, not my own. Changing expectations based on the care-giver only causes confusion for the child.

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 being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on families by providing a safe, nurturing environment for children.

It’s fulfilling to build trust with both the children and their parents, and every day brings new opportunities to make a difference in their lives. I have three years of experience as a sitter, during which I’ve cared for my cousins.
