Sittercity helps Elk River families find the best child care providers

Hi, I am Parker and I have been working with children for over 5 years through a couple different areas including my church and a non profit preschool. In these groups I have been involved in both a lesson and friend role. Through these experiences I have gathered a good understanding of how to best communicate and successfully connect with kids in my care. I prefer a gentle and calm approach to all situations as this matches my personality. I strongly believe that patience mixed with showing a real care for a child is the best way to create the important bond that is needed when parents are away.

Hello! My name is Sue Fish. I am 52 years old and reside in Coon Rapids with my husband.

I'm looking for more experience with children as I want to specialize in pediatrics once I obtain my RN. I've worked with kids aged 1-14 for 6 months as a swim instructor as well as a few months at a local urgent care that saw children often. Another job I had was working as a direct support professional for a young adult with autism, providing meal preparation, laundry, transportation, and companionship. I've also worked in memory care units as well as assisted living for over a year now. This gives me experience in cares, both emotionally and ADL's. I've also worked with a young adult with autism. For my education I graduated high school spring of 2024, taking college courses during to start early in my nursing career. I've now finished my first year of college and am on track to graduating with my nursing degree in 2027. There's plenty more stated in my resume!

Hi! I’m Gianna and I currently work at a daycare in the infant room and I’m doing babysitting on the side for fun. I have my cpr and first aid certification, my own car, and experience in child development.

I truly enjoy being a sitter because kids bring so much joy and energy into my day. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure there’s plenty of fun and creativity. With my experience, I’ve learned how to connect with kids of all ages and keep them engaged while giving parents peace of mind. Families can trust that their little ones are in safe, caring hands.

***I live in Denver, CO, I’m from MN and I cannot change my location*** I was a full time nanny for over two years and cared for 4 different children during that time. My first family with an infant moved to the suburbs and then I was with my second family with their infant. That turned into a nanny share with their next door neighbors who also had an infant. Then one family moved and the other one had another baby. My contract ended in December and I’ve seen the family multiple times since we cultivated such a good relationship. I was CPR and First Aid certified in January 2022. I have babysat since I was 12 years old from watching kids for date nights, being a mother's helper, and even overnight stays. I have watched large groups of kids for volunteer experiences with other people and I also taught kids how to swim as small as toddlers. I have experience with kids of all ages especially toddlers and elementary age children. I care about safety first and foremost and try to give each child I interact with the space to be themselves.

Hii my name is Maria, I've been working with children for about two years, primarily caring for toddlers through older kids. My experience has included everything from engaging little ones in play and helping with routines, to planning fun activities for older children. Growing up with a younger sibling helped me get a sense of responsibility and patience early on, and it's a big part of what sparked my interest in childcare. I love getting creative with kids whether it's making crafts, doing simple science experiments, or putting together themed activity days. I'm also happy to take children out for a change of scenery, whether that's to a local park, museum, or an after-school activity. I'm comfortable driving and enjoy helping kids explore the world around them in fun and safe ways.

I'm available for last minute weekend care. I'm patient, creative, and friendly. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I have three years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children (potentially more if some of them are older and more independent). I have some college education and have experience in CPR and First Aid. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and texts, following your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I regularly babysit my 6 year old nephew, as well as my cousins ages 0-15. I also used to babysit my neighbors kids on a regular basis. I've always had a natural skill for communicating and negotiating with children. I understand that children tend to prefer a certain amount of choice and autonomy, and I'm always willing to find ways to keep kids happy, while still following the rules and instructions set by the parents. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I look forward to providing you time away from your children while becoming a role model in your children's lives.

I am a flexible and experienced sitter who is passionate about caring for children and helping them grow. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work who specializes in child and adolescent mental health. In addition, I worked for 3 years as a Nanny of three kids, as well as worked at a daycare with kids from ages 3 months to 6 years. During this time, I was trained in CPR and First Aid. I love being outside, being creative, and playing games! I am skilled at navigating big emotions and setting boundaries in an empathetic and helpful way to help kids learn and grow.

Hi! I'm a certified surgical technologist looking for a second job that allows me to work closely with children—something I’ve always loved.

I'm energetic, reliable, and skilled in everything from diaper changes to preparing after-school meals. I'm CPR certified and have my own transportation. Have pets? No problem—I’m an animal lover, too! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children.
