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.

Hi! My name is Heidi, and I'm looking for a part time nanny job! :) About me...I'm a flexible, dependable and trustworthy caregiver who loves to get into anything your kids love! What experiences have I had? Well, I have an Elementary Ed degree as well as, I was a "stay at home mom" that had the neighborhood kids 24/7, and loved it! Now that my two children are grown, I need to do something I love again. It's childcare! So, if you're looking for someone to engage your children, play it cool and relax, or anything in between... Look no further... I'm a flexible caregiver with great experience working with children! :) One thing that makes me unique is: With my degree, I have spent some time working in our school district, then started my nanny work in 2012. So, feel free to contact me, and I will reply! :) To whom it may concern, I am writing to recommend Heidi B. for a nanny position. Heidi has been with our family for years. She has cared for our son from the time he was 3 months old until after he turned 3 years old. She has been a wonderful, trustworthy and reliable caregiver. Heidi was always punctual and willing to work with our frequently shifting hours, whether it was asking her to arrive early or stay late. In addition to caregiving, she completed whatever tasks that were requested, particularly light housework and laundry. Most importantly, Heidi cared a great deal for our son and he loved her. He was always eager to see her, talk to her, and play with her, from his earliest moments of being able to express these emotions. We have four older children as well and Heidi was always willing to help care for them if they had to stay home from school with a cold or illness. She has also helped out with pick-ups from school and taking care of our other kids during after-school hours. I would hire Heidi all over again. Most Sincerely, Katie D. Back round check on request

Brynne did a wonderful job looking after our 8 and 5 year old for the day. It was their first time having someone they didn't know look after them and they were both nervous and excited. Based on the stellar time they had we will definitely be reaching out to Brynne again when we need a babysitter.

I'm available for last minute weekend care. I'm patient, creative, and friendly. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I have spent nearly my entire life caring for babies/children and about three years of professional babysitting experience of all ages. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children (potentially more if some of them are older and more independent). I have some college education and have experience in CPR and First Aid. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and texts, following your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I've always had a natural skill for communicating and negotiating with children. I understand that children tend to prefer a certain amount of choice and autonomy, and I'm always willing to find ways to keep kids happy, while still following the rules and instructions set by the parents. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I look forward to providing you time away from your children while becoming a role model in your children's lives.

Diana aka Nana took care of my daughter for 9 years. Diana is kind and has such a good heart. She did art projects with my daughter and read to her constantly. She is very patient, reliable and was flexible with my schedule as a nurse. She was respectful of my home and family. We would come home from work to find treats she had baked for us. She is a giver and spreads love and humor to everyone she meets. As our daughter got older we no longer needed her to Nanny for us. She and her husband have become a part of our family and will be forever.

Hi, I'm Kelley and I love kids! I'm twenty one and I have almost ten years of experience in childcare. I am CPR, first aid and pca certified. I babysit for families, help in my church nursery, and I've done childcare for my bible study, worked at an after school childcare center, have done some pca work, and have held several nanny jobs. I have a passion for kids, and I'm happiest when I'm with them. I plan on working with kids as a career choice. Children are amazing, and I just love spending time with them. I enjoy playing games with them, reading to them, playing pretend, playing outside and doing outdoor activities and educational toys/games! I think they are so cute and fun! I'm responsible, mature and reliable, but also love to have fun with them! In my free time I like to babysit, be outside, go shopping and hang out with friends.
