Hello! I have been on Sittercity for 15 years now, but have been babysitting since age 11. I have met many great families through Sittercity who would consider me one of their regular or occasional babysitters. I live near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis and tend to take jobs that are within a five mile radius. I am a former teacher. I have taught middle school French, elementary English as a Second Language, and English and math to adult refugees and immigrants. I love to be around kids of all ages, but newborns and infants are my specialty. In fact, I have trained to be a postpartum doula. I also have experience with multiples. I have worked with newborn and infant twins, twin toddlers, triplet newborns and school aged twins and triplets. I have experience with premature babies as well. When I am babysitting, safety and engagement are my top priorities. Read more I enjoy playing games, doing puzzles, and reading to kids. I also like to go on walks and be outside as much as possible. I am currently available for sporadic nights and weekends. Feel free to contact me if I seem like a good fit for your family! (Updated 6/28/21)

Anne is a fantastic babysitter/nanny! She has been an occasional sitter for us this past year and has been with us numerous times this summer for regular shifts when we needed care for our four kids. Anne is excellent at engaging the kids and looking out for their safety. They have a lot of fun with her as well! We completely trust her and look forward to the next time that she takes care of our kids!! Sonja H.

Anne is an excellent after school nanny for our two girls, ages 9 and 5. She is extremely reliable and professional - we can always count on her to get the job done. She takes great care to engage the girls and keep them active. And she's also a lot of fun! We really hit the jackpot with Anne and feel very fortunate to have such a great nanny!

Anne has worked at my home as a Babysitter/Nanny for almost a year, since our twin boys were newborn babies. I believe that she is competent and experienced enough to fit in any child care capacity. She took care of our twin boys, prepared bottles and meals for them, took them on strolls and also helped with baby bottle/dishes washing, laundry and pet care. I have had the highest confidence in her trustworthiness and judgment and have always felt at ease leaving my babies in her supervision. She has also had doula training, which is an added bonus. She has always been on time and been great at communicating via phone, text or email. I highly recommender for any Babysitting/Nanny position. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding her work.

Anne is currently working as an afternoon nanny for us. She is great with the kids and very reliable. My daughter quickly got very attached and loves hanging out with her. I am at work with total confidence that kids are in good hands. She also has a great attitude and friendly personality.

That's my kids and me. We are the winners. Because we found Anne and have her help us with our busy days. I am a single parent and I have used multiple babysitters. Anne is the best I met. She is very punctual which is critical for me because I have an unforgiving job that can't accommodate emergencies. Anne helps us before school. She is there a few minutes before 7am every single time. Does not matter if it is 25 degrees below or if there is a snowstorm. She is very pleasant with the kids and still is able to control the activities and guide them through the busy routine of the morning. She is receptive and accommodative. I never needed to repeat any instruction or request. She is smart and has good problem solving skills if she is faced with a situation and I am not available I know she will figure it out and do the right thing. That sense of security is very important. Thank you Anne. Five stars. Standing ovation. Unrestricted unconditional recommendation.

My family had Anne babysit a couple of times for us in the past. She was on time, engaged with the kids and professional. Anne also brought her own activities for the kids which is always great for kids. Strongly encourage families to reach out to Anne if you have childcare needs!

Anne has been a wonderful sitter for us. I was initially very apprehensive about leaving my 4 month old infant with someone other than grandma, and Anne was the first babysitter we ever hired. From the beginning, she was professional and her calm, responsible manner put me at ease. She listened carefully to my instructions and asked good questions. Even though an infant is not always very interactive, Anne found all sorts of activities to keep him engaged: whether walking around the house learning the names of fruits and vegetables, or playing with toys, or sitting outside on a blanket. These days, when Anne comes to babysit my (now 6 month old) son, he greets her with a big smile. I feel very lucky to have found Anne and recommend her highly.

We hired Anne to assist with transportation in January. Anne has been driving my leg of an afternoon carpool nearly every week since we hired her in January. She is proactive in following up if there is even a question as to who is riding home on a given day to make sure no one is left behind in an ever changing pick up and drop off schedule. We know our kids (and the rest of the kids in the carpool) are in good hands when we rely on Anne to take care of our complicated transportation schedule.

I was so nervous leaving my 4 kids for an evening out. i had not left the kids with anyone in the past at bedtime except for a night or two at family homes. Anne came in the home and her presence was just easy going and kind. She engaged the kids right away and even my shy 3 year old was climbing in her lap within minutes of her being there. That DOES NOT happen! I felt so at ease. She treated each child with respect and showed personal interest in them. On top of her easy going nature with 4 kids...my friend that I went out with is single and has a 10 year old boy. Anne was also willing to watch him as well. So she had 5 kids total to watch. Will definatly have her baby sit again.

Anne is a fantastic sitter. Not only is she punctual and polite she is amazingly engaging with our son and respectful of our parenting style and routine - important when having a sitter during bedtime. Having Anne sit for our family makes it easier for my husband and I to enjoy our evening away without worry. We highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a sitter.

Anne is a wonderful sitter. Our 3 yr. old really looks forward to her visits and our 10 mo. old enjoys their time together, too. Anne brings books to share, takes our girls to the park and library, and gives detailed information on how things went. We trust Anne completely; she is our favorite sitter!
