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.

Hi, I am a Mom of two college aged kids who would love to babysit once in awhile. I love kids, pets and have raised two great kids who I am very proud of. One is an Mechanical Engineering major, the other pre- law. I raised my own children to be independent - but I am extremely safe and cautious in all situations. I would love to help out a family for date night or weekend care.

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! 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. ❤️

Hello families my name is Karin. I am CPR/first aid certified. I have A.A.S. Educational Assistant degree from Ridgewater College. I worked for nearly 20 years at a Montessori school with preschool and toddler age children. For primarily 15 of those years I was the assistant toddler teacher and the last about 5 years I was the school closet. I also worked at 2 other child care centers in the preschool classrooms. I also worked part-time and subbed at an in-home daycare. My sister and I ran the daycare, took care of their cat while they were on a vacation. I have also in the past volunteered at my church's VBS and Sunday school programs. I love getting to know children on an individual level. All children are unique. (Which can be harder to do so at a large school or center). I love seeing their eyes light up when they learn or discover something new or listening to their funny stories! Please contact me I would love to meet you and your beautiful precious children.
