Lily Y., Child Care in Lake Elmo, MN 55042 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi!🎉✨❤️ Ever since high school I’ve found myself having so much fun being around kids and through my different experiences being in different environments, I realized that it’s where I shine a lot. I naturally am super playful and when mixed with kids I’m even more playful having a lot of fun being with them. I get exposed to their curiosity, their play, their imagination and it sparks a lot of that in me too. It’s been an adventure being with so many kids because it’s never the same kind of experience. I knew and still know that one of my gifts is working with kids. It’ll always be an instant pull for me in my life. I’ve had a lot of exposure working with kids from pre k-12th grade in different settings such as the Boys & Girls Club, camps, the homework help center at a few libraries, and volunteer places. However me being the oldest of 3 younger siblings has also taught me a lot too along with my own experiences with my infant, toddler cousins. With that it’s also led me to work with families that I have. Rather it be full time, part time, occasionally or for one time. I’ve gotten the opportunity to build genuine connections and lasting memories as I witness the growth and development of the kids I’ve watched. Each it’s own unique experience. I’m passionate about what I do as I live passionately in my own life committed to my own continuous growth. I’m a very bubbly, vibrant, responsible, respectful, open minded, kind, caring, loving, compassionate, family orientated and resilient person. Kids are amazing, curious, playful and we can definitely learn from them as well. I find their playfulness as well as curiosity to be so joyful to see and experience. I feel grateful to just work with kids in any way, but also connecting with them and you the parent(s) really matter to me too. Fun fact, I have been flown twice by an awesome family playing a important role being with their kiddos so they can take care of the pumpkin patch they’ve been in charge of who I still in am contact with today. They were looking for a unicorn and I confidently said that’s me, a unicorn! 😆🎉 Safety, trust, and communication are meaningful things for me when working with families. I look forward to talking more with you.

Becca C., Child Care in Lake Elmo, MN 55042 with 20 years of paid experience

I’m Becca — your calming, baby-whispering postpartum powerhouse. I’ve always had a soft spot for newborns — their tiny sounds, their sweetness, and the magical way they change everything in an instant. Becoming a postpartum doula felt like the most natural step in my journey as a caregiver, and I’m so honored to support families during this sacred, transformative season. With over 15 years of experience caring for children—from preschool classrooms to full-time nannying, and most recently as a unit coordinator in a busy pediatric ER—I bring both calm confidence and clinical know-how to the early days of parenthood. I’ve supported babies as young as two days and currently offer overnight and daytime care with a focus on rest, rhythm, and reassurance. My care is holistic and heart-centered. I’m here not only for newborn care, but for the whole family—from tending to the physical and emotional recovery of birthing parents, to offering guidance and support to partners and siblings adjusting to life with a new baby. Whether it’s nourishing meals, light tidying, listening without judgment, or just making space for a shower and a breath, I aim to bring peace and presence to the postpartum experience. Parenthood is powerful—and sometimes overwhelming. You deserve someone in your corner. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, endlessly baby-savvy, and always ready with a swaddle tip, a feeding log, or a warm, calming presence when it’s needed most. Let’s connect and talk about how I can support your growing family—I would be honored to be a trusted partner along your parenting journey.
