Sittercity helps Shakopee families find the best child care providers

Hi. I have been a teacher for the last 5 years at a private school in hopkins for ages of 6 months to 5 years. I have recently left that job and am a Educational assistant at a charter high school in Minnetonka working with young adults on the spectrum. I am CPR and first aid certified and also have my Child Development Associate. Looking for PT work after 4:30 during the week and also available some weekend hours.

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. I am committed to maintaining a safe, healthy environment for your children. 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

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.

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

My name is Alyssa and I have been teaching and caring for children of all ages since 2015, primarily through volunteer & paid work in ECE classrooms. I made the switch to nannying during the pandemic, as I’m better able to cater to the unique needs of each family that I work with. I specialize in Pre-K prep, I have training in early childhood development and am BLS certified. If you have any questions or would like to know more, I’d love to connect! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, my name is Cassie, and I absolutely love working with kids!

Hi there! I attend college part time and work full time from home M-F. I am trying to keep myself busy during evenings and weekends since I have the time. I love being around kids. I used to work for a daycare/preschool for about 1.5 years and I also worked as a Nanny for about 2 years.

I am a patient, loving care giver. I am looking to care for children of all ages. I am comfortable with infants all the way up to middle school aged children. I am a Kindergarten teacher and have been teaching for 21 years. My children are all grown up. My son and daughter-in-law don't have children yet. My youngest child is in her second year of college at Winona State, so out of the house. I LOVE children and would like the chance to take care of yours! I am comfortable with pets!
