Hi! My name is Nora and I am 18 years old. I have a heart for friends and family, old ones, and younger ones. I enjoy chatting and playing with children as well as spending time outdoors. I am creative and enjoy arts and crafts. I have a husband and grew up in a large family.  I would like a job where I can help while having simple and fun interactions and communications! I worked at a small daycare in my hometown in Washington for two years before moving to Minnesota, where I continued working at a daycare! I have a high school diploma as well as a CPR and Standard First Aid certification. I took one year of Culinary Arts and Sciences at Cascadia Technical Academy!

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 am a certified occupational therapist that works with special needs students in the schools as my full time job during the school year. I work with kids from birth-21 and feel comfortable with all ages. I have 2 kids of my own (16 and 13). My CPR and First Aid are not up to date but I have been trained many times in these areas and my husband is an EMT. I used to work in a hospital and am well aware of safety as it relates to choking, illness or other injuries. I love to play games, be outside, and just HAVE FUN!! I believe that kids need all kinds of sensory experiences to learn and grow. I have worked with kids my whole life and thoroughly enjoy kids and all the joy they bring. I am a high energy person who enjoys playing and discovering and would love to come come hang out with your child.

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.

I grew up as the oldest of six children. My family worked abroad at a childrens home in Jamaica. There I was able to help entertain the children and help with their daily needs. I started babysitting at 12 years old and had my first part-time nanny job at 15 years old. For the past four years, I have been a bunk counselor at a camp. I have also taught young children dance lessons and started the preschool ministry at my church. I love kids! Keeping them active and engaged during the summer months is such a fun goal.

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!
