Alexis is absolutely wonderful! She’s so great with our two children (ages 2 and 4), and we are lucky to have found her. She’s patient (no easy feat with two little ones!), flexible, attentive to detail, excellent at communicating, and always so thoughtful and kind. Our kids love her. (And we do, too!) ☺️

Rebecca N., Child Care in Forest Lake, MN 55025 with 15 years of paid experience

After my "journalism" career (too many ad agencies and a faltering book industry), I began working with children, the elderly, and pets. Being a trusted, reliable presence in their lives provides a life balance that I enjoy, and utilizing a care provider with a good attitude is beneficial for everyone involved. For a few years (until I broke my arm skiing), I worked part-time as a CNA (Nursing Assistant), but began spending more time as a substitute for teachers and paraprofessionals in local schools. When Covid came along, I teamed up with a family who wanted to keep a close watch on safety for their premature baby. I was lucky to find a temporary position that allowed me to return to this family to care for their second child, who is now in pre-school (I still babysit on their "date nights"). I have raised two sons, one diagnosed with ADHD and the other with high-functioning autism, conditions that often swim in the same genetic pool. I played on their strengths when offering activity choices to them, and today they are both doing well as young adults following their own career paths. When my children were very young, I taught Sunday school to grade-school-aged children while running a licensed in-home childcare center. I love to do individual outdoor activities that match the weather. I tend to eat very well -- my goal is to retain as much of my physical, spiritual, and mental health as possible. I love sharing this knowledge with little ones and helping them to grow into who they were meant to become.

I'm no stranger to working with kids. Though I only have one year of paid child care experience, I have been working with kids 5+ years. I currently work as a preschool assistant and last summer worked at a summer camp. These positions gave me training in first aid and CPR. In addition to that I volunteer at a Children's Hospital for the past 3 years. I don't have paid experience babysitting but I grew up taking care of my younger family members.
