I would love to babysit because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping care for them. I have younger nieces and a nephew who I love spending time with and helping out with, which has given me experience being around younger children and understanding their needs. I also have some education in childcare and child development, and I’m comfortable working with younger kids. In addition, I have training in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, so safety is always important to me. I strive to create a safe, patient, and caring environment while making sure kids are comfortable and having fun.

I am on the newer side to caring for children, but I have taken care of my younger brothers all their lives. I am working on getting my CPR and First Aid Certificate. I am also really engaging in community activities and try to stay away from screens if there are other options. I have my own car and am comfortable with animals. Please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat.

Hello Families! My name is Campbell and I’m a 19-year-old sophomore at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota. I’ve been babysitting since I was about 10 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve absolutely loved working with kids! I have a wide range of childcare experience, including working in a church nursery caring for multiple infants, serving as a Vacation Bible School counselor for four years with groups of 10–15 children, and babysitting kids from 2 weeks to 12 years old. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and always aim to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I’m also more than happy to help with household tasks like cleaning, folding laundry, dishes, trash, and cooking. I have my own car and can provide transportation to and from activities as needed. In addition to childcare, I’ve been helping my mom with her cleaning business since I was 10, so I’m very familiar with keeping things tidy! I also offer pet care and have years of experience with both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and general care. I play the cello and can assist with string instrument practice, and while I was First Aid certified at 13, I make sure to refresh my knowledge of emergency procedures before each job. There’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time with children, watching them grow, and helping them explore the world around them, it’s truly an honor to be a part of that journey.

Hello! My involvement with children of all ages has been since I was 12 years old. My life was babysitting, housecleaning, running errands, and simply doing what families needed me to do. I graduated with a bachelors in social work and minor in criminology, therefore I’ve done social work all my life. I’ve been a youth social worker at the school, crisis responder, juvenile probation officer, and now working for MNPrairie County Alliance in Steele County as an On-Going Social Worker in Child and Family department. I’ve had lots of training and skills throughout my education and experience. My love for children and helping families will continue☺️

I love having a healthy, amazing friendship with others, and my outgoing personality helps with working with children of all ages.

I'm aspiring to be an elementary teacher and have always loved working with kids. Being a sitter comes with a variety of experiences, making no "shift" the same. I've babysat my own siblings as well as kids in my hometown over the years and have loved every experience. I did have my CPR and First Aid certification but it technically expired in May of 2026.
