Find experienced child care providers in Northfield, MN

I grew up with a much younger brother and participated in his care since his birth. I started babysitting outside of the home at the age 12, and have consistently been involved in the care of children through the years. In college, I started working with adults who were either developmentally or physically disabled. Additionally, I spent five years employed at a school that specializes in working with children diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. I currently babysit most frequently for ages one through five, however I do work daily with children 7th grade to 12th grade. I am comfortable working with children of any age. I come from a pet-free house and I do not have any of my own children. My care-giving philosophy is based on love, patience and understanding of the child in my care. I believe children should be raised according to the philosophy of the parents, not my own. Changing expectations based on the care-giver only causes confusion for the child.

I love babysitting because it gives me the chance to connect with children and be part of their world of curiosity, creativity, and laughter. Watching kids learn something new, gain confidence, or simply smile because they feel safe and understood is incredibly rewarding. Babysitting also allows me to be responsible and patient while having fun at the same time. I have siblings that I have been watching my whole life, and cousins that I watched as they grew up in life. I have experience caring for children of different ages and understand the importance of safety, patience, and responsibility.
