Nili B.
- 6 years paid experience
- 14 miles
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.

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

Julia worked with our three boys (.5, 2, 3.5) and was great! She was always engaged with the kids and they loved having her with us. You can tell she really cares about your little ones and is empathetic and responsible. I'd definitely recommend Julia.

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 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 a on my third year as a lead teacher in a 2 year old classroom at a daycare center. 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!

Maria has a truly special gift for caring for children. Her patience, kindness, and gentle nature make her someone that our children naturally trust and enjoy being around. She treated our children with love, respect, and genuine care, creating a safe and happy environment where they can learn, play, and grow. We can feel confident knowing our children are in caring and capable hands. She is dependable, compassionate, and always goes the extra mile to make both our children feel supported. Anyone would be incredibly fortunate to have her care for their children. Above all, she is a loving and devoted mother, and the same warmth, dedication, and compassion she gives to her own family shine through in the care she provides to others.

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 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 occasional sitting opportunities in my area. My CPR is up to date and I would love to interview with your family.

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!

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.
