Find local child care providers in Minnetonka, MN

I am a compassionate and experienced child care provider who brings maturity, professionalism, and a touch of childlike enthusiasm to my work. I take pride in getting to know each child as an individual, ensuring they feel safe, seen, loved, and free to have fun in my care. With over 30 years of experience in childcare across various settings, I have most recently had the privilege of supporting friends and family as they grow their families and navigate busy lives. Through this, I’ve earned two monikers I’m especially proud of: Sarah Honey and Sarah Poppins. I hold a degree in Elementary Education, am CPR and First Aid certified, and have received training in trauma-informed caregiving. I have experience caring for children from newborns to teens, including multiples. While my experience with special needs children has been classroom-based, I am open to opportunities where I can receive guidance and training to best meet a child’s needs. Beyond childcare, I’m an animal lover—especially dogs—and am happy to help care for furry family members, provided they are trained. However, I am reluctant to care for pets with feathers or scales. I enjoy meal planning, prepping, and cooking, and I have a knack for winning over even the pickiest eaters. Additionally, I’m happy to assist with light housework or laundry, provided compensation aligns with those expectations. I can also help with homework—what I don’t know, I’m determined to figure out! I have basic piano knowledge, including beginning Suzuki method piano, and can assist with practice or lessons. Having recently relocated back to Minneapolis from Nashville, I am familiar with the unique childcare needs of high-profile families. I am seeking consistent babysitting work or a part-time nanny position and look forward to connecting with families who feel my experience and heart for children align with their needs.

I first started on sitter city in 2008. It did not take long to meet and care for the children of several families. Many of the relationships were long term so I became inactive on the site. My last family moved just before Covid took hold. I had just updated my child infant CPR and first aid as I intended to start looking again. That didn’t happen because of Covid so I’m starting again now. I did raise 6 children of my own, worked as a nanny for 10 years and have been actively babysitting for Sittercity families for 10 years. I’m looking for occasional sitting opportunities in my area. My CPR is up to date and I would love to interview with your family.

Hello! I’m Stacey, a lifelong Minnesotan and proud mom of two successful adult children. With over 18 years of professional childcare experience, I bring creativity, calmness, and a positive, active energy to every family I work with. I genuinely love caring for children of all ages and have a special place in my heart for newborns and babies. I specialize in overnight newborn care, providing gentle, nurturing support during those important early months. Whether it’s assisting with nighttime feedings, soothing sleep routines, or helping establish healthy sleep habits, I’m here to give both your baby—and you—peace of mind throughout the night. Families appreciate my steady, unflappable nature, strong communication skills, and my ability to create lasting bonds. Many families I’ve worked with have stayed with me for years, and I’m proud to have excellent letters of recommendation to share.

If you’re looking for someone who will care for your little ones with the same love and dedication you would, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for considering me! Warmly, Stacey
