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

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.

Hello! I am a 33 year old musician and photographer originally from Wayzata, MN and currently residing in the Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis. I attended New York University, graduated in 2013 and stayed on in NYC until 2019 when I moved back home to be near family and have more access to nature again. I’ve worked in restaurants as a hostess and babysat on and off over the years to supplement my income as an artist. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages and am also the oldest of three children. When I'm babysitting, I like to be creative with the kids- play games, tell stories, do art projects, play music and dance, or just be silly and laugh a lot. I also love being outside and am a big fan of going to the park or the playground. If necessary, I am fair and firm when it comes time to discipline. I love animals, especially dogs so pets in the house are not an issue. I am also comfortable helping kids with home/schoolwork and light tutoring. I drive a 2014 Ford Fiesta and am able to provide transportation while caring for children.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and I am 26 years old. I have a lot of experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I come from a large family and regularly have done all housekeeping duties at home, such as cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, as well as watching the kids. I have 7 younger siblings and babysat them often growing up, as well as for many other friends and families. I have had multiple nanny jobs and worked at daycares in the infant and toddler rooms as well! I have been pediatric and adult CPR and First Aid certified. I also have completed a certified child development course online. I am a single mom of a super chill 1 year old girl(born 6/23).

Hi, I’m Amaya! I’m a college student at CSU studying Early Childhood Education, with a lifelong passion for working with children. My journey started at a young age when I began babysitting, and it deepened when my family fostered children for eight wonderful years. Those experiences shaped my understanding of care, compassion, and connection. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a teacher’s aide at a daycare, where I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting children’s learning, creativity, and emotional growth. I’ve loved every moment of creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for kids to thrive in. I believe in fostering creativity, encouraging play, and providing children with the love and attention they need to feel supported and confident. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or simply being a kind and patient caregiver, I’m committed to tailoring my care to each child’s unique personality and needs. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and enthusiastic babysitter, I’d love to help! I’m excited to bring my skills, passion, and energy to your family.
