Find experienced babysitters in Chaska, MN

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 10 years of paid childcare experience. My passion for working with children began at the age of 13 when I started babysitting for two young girls in my hometown. What began as an occasional babysitter, it quickly grew into a more meaningful, long-term position that lasted five years. During that time, I formed a close bond with the family and developed a deep appreciation for the positive impact a caring caregiver can have on a child’s life. After high school, I took on a summer nanny position before going off to college. I attended the University of Wisconsin Eau- Claire for the first two years and continued my education online through the University of Phoenix. While attending college, I continued to babysit and take on temporary nanny positions. Upon returning to Minnesota, I transitioned into professional nannying as a full-time job. I cared for a four-month old baby girl, handling all aspects of her daily care, including diapering, bottle feeding, tummy time, naps, walks and age appropriate stimulation and play. Although the family relocated after a few months due to a job change. The experience reinforced my commitment to providing attentive, nurturing care during the critical early stages of development. For the past two plus years, I’ve had the pleasure of nannying for two wonderful girls, currently age nine and twelve. In this role, I manage a wide range of responsibilities, including: • School transportation • Homework assistance • Meal planning, preparation, and packing lunches • Preparing and serving nutritious dinners • Kids laundry, cleaning/tidying up family spaces, dishes and organizing children’s spaces • Change the girls bedding • Switch winter clothes to summer clothes • Go through the girls clothes to determine what they’ve outgrown • Driving to extracurricular activities • Scheduling and driving to appointments • Set up play dates • Occasional overnights • Assist with packing and unpacking when the family goes on trips I am genuinely passionate about supporting children through their formative years. I believe childhood is a vital period of growth, creativity, and self-discovery, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and enriching environment where children feel valued and empowered to explore their interests and development of the children in my care. I look forward to bringing my experience, warmth and dedication to a new family.

Hi! I’m a lifelong Minnesotan with more than 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, with a special love for babies, infants, and young children. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping little ones feel safe, happy, and loved while giving parents peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of building long-term relationships with wonderful families. Some of the children I’ve cared for since they were just six months old, and I’ve remained with their families for years as they’ve grown. I value consistency, reliability, and becoming someone both parents and children can truly count on. Families describe me as kind, patient, trustworthy, dependable, and calm under pressure. I have a high level of integrity and treat every family’s home, routines, and parenting style with respect. My goal is always to create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel secure, engaged, and cared for. I’ve also found that children—and even family pets—tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, encouraging creativity, spending time outdoors, and supporting age-appropriate learning through everyday activities. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, whether you need help with a planned evening out, daytime care, weekend coverage, or last-minute childcare. I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and I’m happy to help when unexpected needs arise whenever my schedule allows. I have excellent references from families I’ve worked with for many years, who can speak to my reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for their children. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and provide the loving, dependable care your children deserve!
