I have been babysitting for 20 years and have many strong references! Some words that describe me are: conscientious, empathetic, creative, responsible, inquisitive, and organized. As a sitter, my focus is to have fun together, assist in children's development, prioritize safety, and provide attentive care. Additionally, my mission will be to emulate your own parenting priorities and to uphold your family values.

Abigail was our nanny for our infant son from 12 weeks to 6 m in 2012. She is punctual, reliable, nurturing, consistent and very well versed in the growth stages of babies and toddlers. OUr baby/toddler did very well w/ Abigail, he slept, ate and played beautifully, and I felt at ease going to work knowing she was with him. We are grateful to have had Abigail help us during the time when our son was an infant and was still establishing his routine. We have also used Abigail to babysit our baby and a 3yr toddler and she engaged both of the ages from the very first minute she came in. Abigail is very responsive and always listens to our requests as parents, we loved having her help us.

Hi, my name is Heidi. I'm a retired grandmom, who doesn't get the chance to see her grandchildren. Families don't live in the same towns, like they used to. I miss being around children, and having the opportunity to see them light-up when they learn something new. Outside of my early days, as a young girl, babysitting, and being a mom and grandmom, I also worked with, pre-school age children, as well as, autistic adolescents, in the 1990's. I am CNA trained, and went to UW-Stout for, Hospitality Management, so my skills are all over the place. I do think my CPR and First aid certification are expired, but that is easy to remedy, if required, and my training and knowledge are still solid. The last job I worked at, ended in 2020. I managed a produce department and ran a deli for a local, food Coop. At the beginning of the Pandemic, I had the pleasure of caring for my two youngest grandchildren, and kept them in my care, while their parents worked as, essential workers. I am not interested in doing housework, or transporting your precious cargo in my car, but I'd rather enjoy doing, arts and crafts, reading books, helping guide with critical thinking and learning, doing light cooking, and healthy snack preparation, and being a reliable resource for your family, by offering, well rounded childcare that gives you, peace of mind. At this point in my life, I'm only interested in part-time sitting jobs, but I'd love to be of help to your family, if we feel like this could be a good fit. Children require consistency and people they can depend on. I'm a non-smoker, and I'm unwilling to work for families that, smoke in their homes, and I'm not interested in caring for the family pets. My experience and age, give me a different perspective on how to approach life, and I think that can bring great comfort to parents, seeking care for their children. If what I have to offer, seems of interest to you, and you'd like to know more, reach out and let's see if we think this is a good fit. Best of luck on your search. Heidi

I loved my time working at a child care facility. Watching the kids grow into their own person is so special to me. I’ve worked at a child care center for little over a year, the only reason I left that job is because I was moving. I recently graduated high school and moving on into my college years. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I’m patient and out going with the kids. Working with kids can be difficult at times but so rewarding. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
