Julia G., Babysitter in Independence, MN 55359 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Julia, I’m 30 years old, and I was born and raised in Minnesota. I’ve been working as an independent nanny for the past several years for a few families. I have experience with a wide array of ages and ability levels, from infant to teens. I most recently was a nanny part time for a family with three boys under 4 years old. Prior to becoming a nanny, I worked as a direct support professional and independent living skills counselor in a group home and in community based settings. I worked with individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses and neurodivergent individuals, helping them learn life and coping skills. I have also worked with children with autism and Down Syndrome during my time as a nanny. I am very contentious about safety, and am fully vaccinated against COVID. I have ten plus years of child care and related experience and am CPR and first aid trained. I have also taken child development safety courses including SIDS and head trauma. In my free time I enjoy photography, arts and crafts, gardening, and spending time with my fiancé up north anywhere near Lake Superior. I would love a chance to talk with or meet you and your little one/s! I hope to hear from you soon! Julia

Sarah P., Babysitter in Independence, MN 55359 with 13 years of paid experience

*My schedule is currently full, but I may have some availability in the near future (1-2 weekdays).* I nanny/babysit for over 50 families around the Minneapolis suburbs and it just keeps growing (so grateful!) I love creating meaningful relationships and value being a Christian. I volunteer in the infant nursery at church 2-3 times a month. I'm certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and have 8+ years of nanny experience. I'm experienced with newborns up to age 14, including twins and 5+ kids at a time. I also do multiple overnights, trips and 24/7 care up to several days at a time. Including pets. I really enjoy spending time with babies and young children whether it's cuddle time, going to the park or pool, walks, playing, reading, crafts, play dates, etc. I'm the type of person to be constantly present and engaged in the children. I believe that they need to have a lot interaction and loving care. I am a very dedicated, trustworthy and caring person who wants the best for others!

I am a semi-retired occupational therapist with 38 years of working with children in public schools. I have three grown children of my own and am married and have a dog too. I love caring for children and my focus is on helping them play and do the activities that are developmentally appropriate for them. I am looking for part time work to help out parents so they can get a night out, attend appointments, or get some extra help around the home. I also do well with children with special needs.

Alyssa S., Babysitter in Independence, MN 55359 with 15 years of paid experience

I became a certified babysitter for the first time when I was 11. I have always loved children, and as an adult I began working with preschool aged children professionally 10 years ago, when I worked in an infant room at a kindercare while earning a certificate of Montessori Education. Ever since I have worked in preschools, day care centers, nannied and babysat children, from ages 0-10. I love observing each child's special interests and following these to help them learn more about the world. I have experience with twins and potty-training. I currently work at a local preschool with toddlers, 16-36 months olds.
