Find experienced child care providers in Maple Plain, MN

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 10 years of paid childcare experience. My passion for working with children began at the age of 13 when I started babysitting for two young girls in my hometown. What began as an occasional babysitter, it quickly grew into a more meaningful, long-term position that lasted five years. During that time, I formed a close bond with the family and developed a deep appreciation for the positive impact a caring caregiver can have on a child’s life. After high school, I took on a summer nanny position before going off to college. I attended the University of Wisconsin Eau- Claire for the first two years and continued my education online through the University of Phoenix. While attending college, I continued to babysit and take on temporary nanny positions. Upon returning to Minnesota, I transitioned into professional nannying as a full-time job. I cared for a four-month old baby girl, handling all aspects of her daily care, including diapering, bottle feeding, tummy time, naps, walks and age appropriate stimulation and play. Although the family relocated after a few months due to a job change. The experience reinforced my commitment to providing attentive, nurturing care during the critical early stages of development. For the past two plus years, I’ve had the pleasure of nannying for two wonderful girls, currently age nine and twelve. In this role, I manage a wide range of responsibilities, including: • School transportation • Homework assistance • Meal planning, preparation, and packing lunches • Preparing and serving nutritious dinners • Kids laundry, cleaning/tidying up family spaces, dishes and organizing children’s spaces • Change the girls bedding • Switch winter clothes to summer clothes • Go through the girls clothes to determine what they’ve outgrown • Driving to extracurricular activities • Scheduling and driving to appointments • Set up play dates • Occasional overnights • Assist with packing and unpacking when the family goes on trips I am genuinely passionate about supporting children through their formative years. I believe childhood is a vital period of growth, creativity, and self-discovery, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and enriching environment where children feel valued and empowered to explore their interests and development of the children in my care. I look forward to bringing my experience, warmth and dedication to a new family.

Hello there, My name is Lisa. I've comfortable with all ages ranges. I try to keep kids engaged in activities other than screen time but I know that's tricky these days. I recently resigned from an Assistant Management role to go back to school for Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Looking for some babysitting gigs or pt nannying. Open to last minute date nights. Comfortable with animals as I'm sure you can tell by my profile photo 😆. I go back and forth between Maple Plain and Bloomington so I'm open to location.

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

I am a semi-retired occupational therapist with 38 years of working with children in public schools. I have three grown children of my own and am married and have a dog too. I love caring for children and my focus is on helping them play and do the activities that are developmentally appropriate for them. I am looking for part time work to help out parents so they can get a night out, attend appointments, or get some extra help around the home. I also do well with children with special needs.

I became a certified babysitter for the first time when I was 11. I have always loved children, and as an adult I began working with preschool aged children professionally 10 years ago, when I worked in an infant room at a kindercare while earning a certificate of Montessori Education. Ever since I have worked in preschools, day care centers, nannied and babysat children, from ages 0-10. I love observing each child's special interests and following these to help them learn more about the world. I have experience with twins and potty-training. I currently work at a local preschool with toddlers, 16-36 months olds.

*My schedule is currently full, but I may have some availability in the near future (1-2 weekdays).* I nanny/babysit for over 50 families around the Minneapolis suburbs and it just keeps growing (so grateful!) I love creating meaningful relationships and value being a Christian. I volunteer in the infant nursery at church 2-3 times a month. I'm certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and have 8+ years of nanny experience. I'm experienced with newborns up to age 14, including twins and 5+ kids at a time. I also do multiple overnights, trips and 24/7 care up to several days at a time. Including pets. I really enjoy spending time with babies and young children whether it's cuddle time, going to the park or pool, walks, playing, reading, crafts, play dates, etc. I'm the type of person to be constantly present and engaged in the children. I believe that they need to have a lot interaction and loving care. I am a very dedicated, trustworthy and caring person who wants the best for others!

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.
