I have over six years of experience working with children of all ages in positions as both a teacher and a caregiver, and I adore what I do. I started off as a babysitter for family friends & people in my neighborhood, and later worked as both a first grade faith formation teacher and nursery attendant at my church. Throughout high school I taught musical theatre classes for children 3-12 at a studio in Minneapolis. I've nannied for the past two summers, most recently for a family with a year and a half old daughter and a 13 week old daughter, and I would really love to nanny again this summer. Outside of working with children, I'm currently a BFA Acting student at Columbia College Chicago. I have three years of dance training, nine years of training as a singer, and five years of piano. I love to be outside, especially in the summer, and I love to bake.

I am a recent college graduate working as a youth outdoor education leader at a local outdoor access and inclusivity-focused organization. I really enjoy working with and caring for kids. I have been babysitting for neighbors and helping with childcare since I was around 10 or 11 years old. I have been a mothers helper for babies only a couple of months old and have worked as a mentor with early high school-aged youth. Through my own high school experience I coached the youngest age group the 3-4 year old's and 5-6 year old's in youth soccer. The past couple of summers I have worked as a Farm and Nature Educator and Counselor at a nature summer camp and work as a Summer Enrichment Teacher at an afterschool/summer program. I am certified and trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED through the American Red Cross. I've always loved being imaginative and creative and engaging with kids in play-based ways when working in childcare. Additionally, I really value my role in encouraging and creating an environment where kids can be curious and safely explore the world around them!

Nili is a trustworthy, wonderful and loving caretaker and our family loves her! Our children are currently 4.5 & 2.5. She tells stories, plays lovingly, always gets out kids outdoors, cooks nutritious meals, cleans up after a day of care! She is a clear communicator and reliable! We highly recommend Nili.

I have spent many years babysitting younger siblings/ families members as a teenager. I was a personal care assistant for a child on the autism spectrum for 3 years. Including getting him on and off the bus, making sure his homework was done, having meals prepared and helping with light housework. I am currently on my third year as a lead teacher at a daycare center, I typically work with toddlers but float around and help with all ages 6 weeks-6 years. . On a day to day basis I do cleaning, diapers, group time, entering daily activities like pictures and goals into an app for parents to see! I am around 7-14 toddlers daily so I am comfortable being around multiple children at once. I just received my infant/toddler CDA credential in October of 2025!

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 sent messages to five separate potential sitters and Alexis was the only one to respond. She was very friendly and my children had a great time with her. We will definitely ask her to sit again for us in the future.

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 was wonderful with my 10-year-old son while I was in Minnesota for work. She was incredibly responsible, dependable, and diligent, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. Even better, she made the time really fun for him, taking him to the Mall of America, Valleyfair amusement park, and many other activities. My son said he had an amazing time and hopes to come back to MN again soon. I would absolutely recommend Mary to other families!

Charlene is a wonderful and experienced childcare provider. Her personal values lead her to insist on high standards in childcare. It was evident that she genuinely cared for my son and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. If she decides in the future to work in a full time childcare setting (at her home or at a center), I hope to have my son under her care.

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.
