Find experienced child care providers in Mayer, MN

Hello! My name is Maia and I am a 30-year-old stay-at-home mother to a beautiful one-year-old baby girl. Ever since I was a child, I knew that I was meant to be a mother. My experience with children starts at age 7 when my little sister was born. I took on the role of a second mother to her, tending to her needs by changing diapers, giving her baths, feeding her, and putting her to bed. All together I have 6 younger siblings. In addition to my familial experiences, I also have babysitting and daycare experience with infants, toddlers and school-age children. My intuitive, nurturing and empathetic nature have always been at the core of who I am, guiding my interactions with children. Furthermore, I am very attentive, patient and kind. I love finding educational, screen-free activities to do, along with getting some outside time when the weather permits it. I am comfortable doing any cleaning, cooking, helping with homework, house managing, etc. I am also comfortable around all pets and will help take care of them, as well. References are available! I have experience with watching several children at once. I also have experience with autistic children in a professional setting. Communication and organization is key with me.

I have just under 10 years of babysitting experience starting when I was 11 years old! I have sat for families with children ages 7 weeks to 12 years old, and I love all ages for different reasons. I worked at a daycare in the infant and preschool room for 2 years and was a nanny for 3. Some responsibilities as a nanny were late nights, overnights, as well as traveling. I am completely fine with an upkeep in the home, pets, and more.

I am a college student at University of St Thomas majoring in psychology. I have 4 years of experience babysitting and love forming close relationships with the children I nanny. I am able to do light housekeeping and cooking. I love being active outside, going to the park, the beach, watching movies, or doing art projects! I am a responsible driver and am willing to drive kids to various activities and outings. I am certified in CPR and first aid training. I hope you consider me for any and all hours.

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!

Hi, my name is Pearl and I plan on being a future educator working with elementary children. Last year, I got to participate in an internship at my elementary school.

My name is Ellie Gorghuber, I am a single mom of a 5-year-old girl. I work full-time at Sever Construction Company in Edina as a Project Assistant. I have many years of taking care of kids of all ages. During college I nannied for 2 summers. Throughout college I babysat for a few different families of different ages. I also worked at Lifetime in their childcare center for 5 years, working with ages 3 months to 11 years old. I have a passion for children and would love to watch your kids for a date night or give them rides to activities.

I am a recent college graduate currently in the process of applying for graduate schools to get a Masters in Special Education. I have been working with children for most of my life, as much of my family is involved in education in some capacity. I spend my summers working in a summer school program to help prepare 4-6 years olds for their upcoming year of kindergarten. During the school years since graduating in 2024 I have worked as a paraeducator in a middle school setting, and I currently work at an Elementary school in Waconia as an ESP with 3rd through 5th grade. I am not currently licensed in CPR or first aid, but I am willing to get those renewed if necessary. I would love to help out after school or on the occasional weekend. I am available to run errands, drop off and pick up from sports practices, or do anything that needed. I truly love working with children and I would love to help out in any way I can.

Hi! I am a 24 year old teacher and caregiver of almost 4 years. Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine. My three years of experience teaching and caring for children aged 3 months to 11 years old, have solidified my desire to support families. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time but have cared for up to 7 children at a time. I hold current certifications in CPR and First Aid and am fully vaccinated. Over the past three years I have strived to be a patient, calm, creative, friendly, and approachable caregiver. I enjoy playing board games, doing fun crafts, and activities that support physical development. I also know a good amount of sign language (still learning!). I am very reliable with household structures and routines, I prefer to communicate with parents at pickup or through frequent texts or phone calls, but I am always open to trying out other preferred methods. I have a valid drivers license as well as my own vehicle and I am always willing to help out with any errands that are needed I also don’t mind a few household chores. I am also very comfortable with pets from dogs to ferrets to leopard geckos— all of which I’ve owned before! My goal is to be a reliable and positive influence in you and your family’s life. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to your family. ❤️
