Reading Tutors in Belle Plaine

Hello, my name is Taylor! I worked as an infant teacher for six years and also helped out with kids up to the age of 11. I have been babysitting since the age of 13. I love reading, laughing, and anything outdoors. I would absolutely love to allow parents to go out on a date night or run errands during the evening! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I was a preschool teacher for nearly 12 years. When I got tired of the classroom setting. However, I still want to teach and work with kids but on a more personal level where I could need their needs. So I began nannying and haven't looked back. I love the outdoors and nature. We don't watch TV or play video games while the children are in my care. I love to read to children to promote literacy. I have a huge library of resources to teach and challenge kids at many different levels of development. And depending on the age of the children, I love taking them on " adventures" within the community. Whether it be a story time at the library, local area parks, the zoo, children's museum, etc. based on their interests. I'm a non-smoker, I cook and will help with light cleaning and laundry as I have time but my main priority is your kids.

I currently work at a childcare center in Belle Plaine, MN. I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato in May 2009 with a BS in Early Childhood Education. While in school, I worked in a childcare center in an infant room and watched a 2-year-old boy in the afternoons. During my junior and senior years of high school, I took college courses at night and was a nanny for a family during the day. I really enjoy being a part of children's lives. More recently, I have been a live-in nanny for infant twin boys for a year, been a reading intervention teacher for children kindergarten through 3rd grade and a preschool teacher working with 4 and 5-year-olds. I also have a daughter who likes to come and play with other kids.

I am a 21-year-old who just graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. I have been babysitting for about eight years! I love kids, and I am very comfortable around them. I have had some experience with infants, but I am most comfortable with children ages two and up. At family events, I am always the one to go and play with the kids, and I usually end up eating at the kids table. I have also had extensive experience volunteering in my church's nursery, and Sunday schools. I had several consistent babysitting jobs in high school, and loved being able to really get to the know the kids and see them on a regular basis! I did a bit of babysitting while in college, and now as a graduate, I have spent my summer interning and teaching at various theatre camps and worked with kids ages 7-18. Because I have such a love for the dramatic arts, I am always looking for creative ways to play and teach children. I encourage kids to be very imaginative! I also love the outdoors, nature, sports, bike rides, reading aloud to kids, arts and crafts, working on homework with kids (I graduated summa cum laude, and I am able to help with tutoring as well), and trying new things! I have my own transportation, I am very comfortable with pets of all kinds, and most of all, I just really love kids. If you would like references, please just let me know. I look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Alyssa, and I am 27 years old. I am a mother of 3 (2 girls, 1 boy). I am from Shakopee but now reside in Belle Plaine. I have an AA in Liberal Arts and in 2015, graduated from MNSU with my Bachelor's in FCS: Child Development and Family Studies and with a minor in Psychology. I am a cheerful person and love to have fun. I have experience working with kids since 16 years old and am comfortable with any ages. I am a huge lover of doing arts and crafts with children, reading, anything outdoors, musical, games, etc. Love to be able to have fun but also learn or try and teach new things along the way while making it a fun experience. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid and have had many trainings due to my work experience. I love working with children because they really do brighten up your day; and having the opportunity to have fun working/watching with children while also contributing to their everyday learning is what I love most.

I have nannied my cousins, and other families for the summers the last 6 years, while also working at a daycare when needed to. I love to go out and do fun creative things. With my cousins, we would have time for "homework". Where I would pick out some math, and a book for them to read to me. I would pick up the house before I left, with doing dishes and such. We would go to the beach, fairs, farms, ect.

Hi there! To start, I grew up with 45 first cousins, so it's safe to say that I was always in demand as a baby-sitter. I have watched children from ages 3 months - 10 years old. One of my cousins, E, has down syndrome and I have watched her numerous times. I absolutely love kiddos! My very first job (besides baby-sitting) was coaching t-ball and squirt ball to kids when I was 14. I coached for 2 summers. In high school, I was a teacher's aid for a Kindergarten classroom. I was able to help kids with their reading, writing, math, and art work. In my senior year of high school and throughout my college years, I babysat my choir teacher's grandchildren. The most children I watched at one time was 6 and that included 2-year-old twin boys! I watched the same 3 children consistently and their ages ranged from 3 yrs. - 8 yrs. old. I am also CPR and First-Aid certified!

I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education from a State University. I have been working with children for over two years through getting my degree and currently as a special education paraprofessional. I absolutely love children and would be thrilled to work with your child(ren) on a daily basis. I love playing outside, baking, figure skating, and reading. I plan to be teaching next fall, and would be available during the summer of 2016.

Teaching and working with children is basically in my blood, growing up having a Mom as a not only a parent figure but also a teacher, was a huge advantage for me, because since then I have picked up on her teaching and work into the way I interact and teach children today! From anything to playing the typical house and babies, to reading the most classic story with a large amount of expression, to not only make it more enjoyable for the children, but also to get them to participate and become involved in the overall story. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and worked in an after school community ed Daycare for 4 years starting out as a Freshmen, with school aged children as an aid, I worked my way up from being an aid, to be the assistant Preschool and Toddler teach, working in a private academy with ages infant-PreK for a year and a half. I am now currently a substitute paraprofessional for my home towns Elementary and High School. I'm a kid at heart and love being around children, couldn't see myself spending my ultimate career as a Counselor for the youth any other way. Children bring out the best in us!

I have a degree in Elementary and Special education. I have been an Elementary teacher for 2 years and have taught Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have worked with children my whole life, I have babysat, taught dance and was a nanny for my nephew. More recently I worked at the MN Zoo as a paraprofessional for Zoo Camp. The past two summers and part time in the school year I worked for a Child Care center in St. Peter. My husband and I recently moved to Belle Plaine so I am looking for a fun family to help out this summer. I love to be outdoors and be active. I would love to take kids on bike rides, walks to the park, play in the pool or sprinkler and play sports. We can also participate in the reading program at your local library, kids bowling, and other fun community activities. I love arts and crafts and planning fun projects for us to do. I am also able to tutor kids during the summer or just play fun learning games and read to help avoid the summer slide.
