Hey! My name is Morgan and I am a college student at the University of St. Thomas. I love to be around kids and would love to make a connection with yours:) I am majoring in elementary education and run on the cross country and track teams at UST. I love to be outdoors, go on bike rides, go shopping and spend time with others.I am currently nannying for a family this summer but am looking for an occasional gig during the school year, weekends or weeknights that would be able to work around my class and practice schedule. My duties include laundry, dishes, cleaning up the house, keeping the kids entertained and having fun! I also have previous babysitting experience for multiple families throughout high school in my hometown and I would be happy to give you references if needed. I am CPR, first aid and lifeguard certified as well. If this sounds like a fit let me know and I would love to talk more!

I used to babysit for about 4 years. The child I babysat had intellectual disabilities, I helped with homework tasks, room cleaning, cooking and of course just having some fun. I am CPR certified. I worked in a group home for 1 year taking care of 4 fully dependent adults. I did daily house cleaning tasks, bathing/toileting, medication administration, cooked meals daily and came up with fun tasks to keep them entertained.

Kate S., Child Care in Cottage Grove, MN 55016 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Kate. I am 39 years old. I live in Oakdale, MN, and I have 3 boys. Luke, my oldest, just turned 18. Matt is 9, and Logan is 5 years old. Now that all my boys are in school, I have some open time. I was a teacher for 14 years. I taught private kindergarten, first, second, and 3rd grade. I was A stay at home Mom for 6 years. Now I have decided to fo back to school to be a paramedic and am currently enrolled in school. 90% of it is online and at my own pace so I can work around any time I am needed. I absolutely love children. One of my favorite thingd is is to see a child learn something for the very first time. The smile they get when something first clicks with them is the best moment with kiddos I think. I have taught many kiddos and I have loved them all as if they were my own. There are so many fun teaching opportunities every day I try to take those moments to really show the kiddos how proud I am of them! Being silly and laughing having fun is also very important A dirty kiddo is one who had fun and played hard (don't worry Moms I'm good at cleaning up to! Lol) We have a golden retriever her name is Rosie she is a crisis response animal sometimes when bad situations happens like school shootings, mass shootings, natural disasters, hospital visits and nursing home visits we will get dispatched out and we hop on a plane and go help out and share the love and support of a golden to help people feel better. Our rosie girl just turned 10 so we don't travel far as often anytime unless there was a big need for ALOT of Goldens. Our group is called LLC K9 comfort animals if you want to take a peek at our amazing pups across all 50 states!! If you think I sound like a good fit for your family and needs I would be thrilled to chat and meet your family! I look forward to helping local famlies!
