Hello! My name is Theresa Kelly. My husband I have raised three amazing daughters and now have an adorable two year old granddaughter. Growing up in Minnetonka, my favorite thing to do was to babysit. I loved it and had many jobs and was paid well. I went on babysitting trips with families, and in high school stayed with kiddos when parents went out of town. After high school I attended the university of Minnesota- Duluth and received a teaching degree in Elementary education. About that same time, our first daughter was born. While I was raising my girls for about 12 years I was a lead substitute teacher for the Watertown school district we lived in. I taught preschool through eighth grade and enjoyed the variety and flexibly. I have done several long term positions since then and taught preschool for 7 years. About four years ago I decided to go back to substitute teaching. I work in three different districts and have had full time work because the need is so high and I am often requested. I have loved it and am good at it, I think because I love all age levels, I am very adaptable, and have a great re pore with kids. Due to Covid, I at least for this year will not be substitute teaching. There is too much uncertainty and I work in 11 different buildings so I've decided too make a change. With everything going on in the world right now, heart goes out to families with young children. I know they have so many difficult decisions to make and a lot on their plates. I have no worries on finding other work, but as I have shared, I love working with children so becoming a nanny seems it would be a perfect fit, if I can find a family that is right for me. I'd love an opportunity to meet you and learn about your needs as a family to see if I'm the right nanny for you!

I have worked in child care for over 6 years now, between an afterschool child care center and babysitting/nannying. I have always loved worked with kids which is why I plan to continue on and get my elementary education degree. I love planning arts and crafts for kids, I have experience planning field trips and group activities as well as one on one activities to keep their little minds busy.

I first became a certified babysitter when I was about 10 years old. I started with babysitting my cousins who are 10 and 7 years younger than I am. Once I learned the ropes I began working with my church nursery, Sunday school, and parents night out (a night where parents drop their children off at church and we babysit in class sizes of up to 15 children each). Later I started working summer camps for kids at church. I have taken care of new-born babies as well as toddlers, children, pre-teens, and teenagers solely by myself. For three years I helped out at my aunts daycare in Shakopee, Mel's Monkeys in the summer time. I love babies and younger children but am certainly happy to work with kids of all ages. I am willing to drive where needed, help with homework and chores, watch/take care of pets as well, work weekends and I am also willing to stay over night if needed and given enough of an advance notice. I work full time as an administrative sales assistant but I have loved taking care of kids for as long as I can remember. I also welcomed my own little munchkin a year ago, so I learned all the ins and outs of parenting firsthand.

Hi! My name is Sam, and I have over six years of experience caring for children ranging from 2 months to 12 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I love creating a fun, engaging, and screen-free environment for kids. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, cooking, and baking with children, helping them explore their creativity while learning new skills. As a college student, I have pretty open availability, except for the middle of the day, and I’m comfortable around pets. Families often tell me that I’m reliable, energetic, and great with kids, and I’m proud to have amazing recommendations. My goal is always to provide a safe, happy, and nurturing space where children can thrive and have fun!
