Find experienced child care providers in Cottage Grove, MN

Hi!🎉✨❤️ Ever since high school I’ve found myself having so much fun being around kids and through my different experiences being in different environments, I realized that it’s where I shine a lot. I naturally am super playful and when mixed with kids I’m even more playful having a lot of fun being with them. I get exposed to their curiosity, their play, their imagination and it sparks a lot of that in me too. It’s been an adventure being with so many kids because it’s never the same kind of experience. I knew and still know that one of my gifts is working with kids. It’ll always be an instant pull for me in my life. I’ve had a lot of exposure working with kids from infants-12th grade in different settings such as the Boys & Girls Club, camps, the homework help center at a few libraries, being at hotels for wedding events, to being at homes and volunteer places. However me being the oldest of 3 younger siblings has also taught me a lot too along with my own experiences with my infant, toddler cousins. With that it’s also led me to work with families that I have. Rather it be full time, part time, occasionally or for one time. I’ve gotten the opportunity to build genuine connections and lasting memories as I witness the growth and development of the kids I’ve watched. Each it’s own unique experience. I’m passionate about what I do as I live passionately in my own life committed to my own continuous growth. I’m a very bubbly, vibrant, responsible, respectful, open minded, kind, caring, loving, compassionate, family orientated and resilient person. Kids are amazing, curious, playful and we can definitely learn from them as well. I find their playfulness as well as curiosity to be so joyful to see and experience. I put myself in their shoes to better understand and see where they are coming from; what is a need or what is wanting to be heard in the moment. I feel grateful to just work with kids in any way, but also connecting with them and you the parent(s) really matter to me too. Fun fact, I have been flown twice by an awesome family playing a important role being with their kiddos so they can take care of the pumpkin patch they’ve been in charge of who I still in am contact with today. They were looking for a unicorn and I confidently said that’s me, a unicorn! 😆🎉 Safety, trust, and communication are meaningful things for me when working with families. I look forward to talking more with you.

Hi! I’m currently a senior in high school, planning to pursue a career in Dental Hygiene. I became a certified babysitter at age 12 and have since cared for more than five families. Along with babysitting, I work another job on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and some weekends, but I can adjust my schedule when needed. I’m very family-oriented and have loved being around kids and pets for as long as I can remember. Becoming an aunt has also given me hands-on experience with babies, which I’ve really enjoyed. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I have my own car and love staying active, so keeping up with kids comes naturally! I’m excited to not only have fun with your kids, but also to help them learn and grow.
