Hello! I’m looking to watch a up to possibly two kiddos in my home! M-F Anywhere from 6am-6pm (might consider other days or hours for the right candidate) *Rates would be based hourly. (Depending on age, specific needs and schedule.) I will provide: •Meals, if needed •Healthy snacks •Age appropriate crafts, colors, paints and activities. I'm 35 years old. I have five children. Oldest is 14 years old and youngest is 5 months. I'd describe my personality as Funny, Caring and Honest. I like working with kids because they let me show my nurturing side and do not judge me when I'm silly. I'm looking for a job that lets me feel like I made another child (besides my own) smile that day! :) My previous job was with Essentia Health working overnights at the hospital. Overnights are very taxing on the body and my children were also suffering from Read more not being able to spend as much time with me. We have decided to stop the overnights. I started working with kids when I was very young | started babysitting for my family, as all my older cousins we're about 10 to 15 years older than I was. I started earning money and learning to save for college. A dream of mine at that age was to become a teacher, so I thought the skill would come in handy. In my spare time, I love to spend time doing crafts with my children and being outdoors. Things you should know about me: I have had a private security license. Which means I have been fingerprinted and cleared by all government agencies for my background as well. :) My job is to respect your family and have your needs met— that is my number one. In my opinion, children are great when it comes to judging character. Nine times out of ten if they don't like you, they must have a good reason. I’ve been through Basic Life Support Certification and child and adult CPR, as well as first aid training. I have my AAS in Criminology & Criminal Justice. I also used to do volunteer work with Spooner Police Department and Washburn County Sheriff Department. ***My ideal job offer would be watching a child in my home. I would take a lesser wage for that accommodation. But please keep my experience and work ethics in mind. Please let me know if we can work anything out. Thank you for your time reading this. I hope you find the care that fits your family well!! :)

I absolutely love how great Ashely was with our kiddos. She watched them for long hours months on end while we worked at an industrial plant doing an electrical rebuild. I hated transferring and begged for her to move with us. I promise your kiddos are in the best of hands with Ashley. I still can't find anyone to fill the shoes to her performance and probably never will.
