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.

I am looking for a family to work for on a long-term basis as a babysitter for evenings, weekends, overnights, and during school breaks. I have a Maser's degree in Early Childhood Special Education, am highly qualified to teach reading, and I have experience as a nanny, tutor, and babysitter.

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 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.

Kileigh was such a wonderful babysitter to our 3 boys. They kept talking about how much fun they had with her! We would love to have her back to babysit anytime.

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.

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

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 love children and have been babysitting since I was thirteen years old. I am currently working as a special education paraprofessional at an elementary school. I enjoy building positive connections with each of the children I work with. I participate in the child's interests to build that relationship. I have experience with children of all ages, especially toddlers and elementary-age children. I am skilled in helping kids with academic skills, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. I am available evenings and weekends. I am certified in child and adult first aid and CPR and have an active background check through my job.
