Mara is always on time and communicative. If we go too long without a date night, my kids are asking "When will we see Mara again??" Mara is the standard we measure others against when for discussing care for our children.

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.

Hello there, My name is Lisa. I've comfortable with all ages ranges. I try to keep kids engaged in activities other than screen time but I know that's tricky these days. I recently resigned from an Assistant Management role to go back to school for Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Looking for some babysitting gigs or pt nannying. Open to last minute date nights. Comfortable with animals as I'm sure you can tell by my profile photo 😆. I go back and forth between Maple Plain and Bloomington so I'm open to location.

Lisa worked for us twice within the span of a week, both on super short notice due to our other childcare falling through at the last minute. She was great with our kids, conscientious and attentive to our instructions for caring for them, and took our rambunctious dogs in stride. She was very responsive to messaging, upbeat, and easy to connect with. Our kids took to her right away, and she seemed to genuinely enjoy the time she spent with them too. We really appreciated that she also accommodated a phone interview the night before her first day with us to help us feel at ease about the last minute hire. Highly recommended, and we definitely hope to work with her again!

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!

I first started on sitter city in 2008. It did not take long to meet and care for the children of several families. Many of the relationships were long term so I became inactive on the site. My last family moved just before Covid took hold. I had just updated my child infant CPR and first aid as I intended to start looking again. That didn’t happen because of Covid so I’m starting again now. I did raise 6 children of my own, worked as a nanny for 10 years and have been actively babysitting for Sittercity families for 10 years. I’m looking for evening sitting opportunities for date nights or class nights. I recently have had the opportunity to care for children for 1-3 days while parents have a gap between nanny’s or are visiting or in town for work. I am enjoying those opportunities and am happy when they fit into my schedule. I limit the parameters of my searches so feel free to share your job with me if you think we might be a good fit.

Mary watched my two kids for an evening out. She was very attentive, got the girls to bed on time, and they had fun. We will definitely reach out to Mary again!

We hired Christine as a summer nanny for our two autistic children and could not have been happier with her services. She was flexible, caring, and very supportive of their unique needs! Christine kept the kids active and helped to support their social and emotional development. We highly recommend her services!

Children are such wonders!! It is such a gift to be able to help them grow up healthy and happy, discover the world, and learn how to navigate well in it. I have worked and volunteered with newborn through elementary age children from the time I was old enough to babysit until I had my own children. When with them discovery, play, and outdoor time is prioritized over screen time. I managed graduate medical education programs while raising my children. I miss time discovering the world and exploring with young children, so decided to seek opportunities to support other families in their journey while I am in graduate school. I love hiking, yoga, rock climbing, farmer's markets, trying new foods, cooking new recipes, reading, learning about other cultures and languages around the world, and exploring outside. Please ask if you have questions. My references are varied as I lost touch with families I nannied for while raising my children. I'm new to Sittercity so I'm still getting things set up and re-certifying in CPR.

Lindsey was a wonderful nanny for our two and three year-old children! She brought such a warm, positive energy into our home and quickly built a great rapport with both kids. Lindsey was patient, creative, and kept them engaged with fun activities every day. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend her to any family!

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.
