We are moving to Apple Valley in 3 wks and would like to find a responsible babysitter for our 2 year son. We are looking for just the occasional weekend evening or even during the day or weeknight. Also looking for another stay at mom in Apple Valley who might be willing to do playdates! I would love to make some new friends! Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks, P.

What can I do next?

Hi P.,

I live on the Apple Valley/Burnsville border, and stay home with my almost 2-year old daughter. We live in the Apple Valley school disctrict, and can highly recommend the Apple Valley ECFE courses. Sign up as soon as possible, as the classes fill up early. I've missed 2 sessions since Gwun was born, because I was slow to register.

There are tons of fun things to do around here. Library has ton of events...and the Apple Valley community center has open-gym time which is a hit with the toddler kids (Monday and Wednesday mornings 10:45).

I haven't used any babysitters yet, as we have family members nearby competing for turns to babysit, but I know other moms who could recommend some good babysitters. ( We could always exchange day-time playdates amongst ourselves too.)

Anyhow, if you want to try to meet up at the library, Community Center, or help finding other events, let me know. --K.

Hi-

We moved to Inver Grove Hts (bordering Eagan)from St. Paul last spring- there is a lot to do in the southern suburbs;

Rosemount, Apple Valley and Eagan all have Community Centers with free or minimal fee open gym times for toddler/preschool age. I like Eagan because it has a huge inside playground, t/th 9:30-11:30 is for under age 5 and is $3

Barnes & Noble has story time- Eagan's is Monday 11 am. They have a train table as well :)
Of course the zoo is fun if you have an annual pass. And ECFE has a few centers- one in apple valley and Eagan.

Best of luck- when you get settled and if you want to meet email me.

My son is just over 2 and loves playing with others! I stay home with him, but do a bit of work when I can. Mostly, I am home!

Hi P.!

My name is M., 38, newly, a stay at home mom. I live in Burnsville, with my 18 month old daughter, and fiance. We are in the Southwest corner of Burnsville, very close to apple valley. 4 miles, I think. I just moved here last month! It appears we have some things in common!
I actually just posted an ad, looking to care for another child. I , too, would like playtime for my daughter (and me).
Feel free to give me a call ###-###-####
