Find experienced child care providers in Watertown, MN

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.

*My schedule is currently full, but I may have some availability in the near future (1-2 weekdays).* I nanny/babysit for over 50 families around the Minneapolis suburbs and it just keeps growing (so grateful!) I love creating meaningful relationships and value being a Christian. I volunteer in the infant nursery at church 2-3 times a month. I'm certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and have 8+ years of nanny experience. I'm experienced with newborns up to age 14, including twins and 5+ kids at a time. I also do multiple overnights, trips and 24/7 care up to several days at a time. Including pets. I really enjoy spending time with babies and young children whether it's cuddle time, going to the park or pool, walks, playing, reading, crafts, play dates, etc. I'm the type of person to be constantly present and engaged in the children. I believe that they need to have a lot interaction and loving care. I am a very dedicated, trustworthy and caring person who wants the best for others!

I am a semi-retired occupational therapist with 35 years of working with children in public schools. I have three grown children of my own and am married and have a dog too. I love caring for children and my focus is on helping them play and do the activities that are developmentally appropriate for them. I am looking for part time work to help out parents so they can get a night out, attend appointments, or get some extra help around the home.

Hi, my name is Ana. As an empty nester, my proudest accomplishment in life has been raising my three sons. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of being a homemaker all these years. I am currently working for a family in Wayzata. I assist their two kids, ages 10 & 11 years old with getting ready for school in the mornings and drive them to and from school.

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, my name is Pearl and I plan on being a future educator working with elementary children. Last year, I got to participate in an internship at my elementary school.

My name is Isabel Halonen and I am 20 years old. I currently work as a Part-time nanny (a couple of days in the week.) I have a ton of experience working with kiddos in all different types of environments including daycares, schools, babysitting, and nannying. I also am an auntie to 7 nieces and nephews! I worked as a Lead Infant teacher at The Gardner School in Minnetonka for about a year and this was such an amazing job getting to teach and navigate these young minds! I most recently got married and moved out to Cokato which is why I am looking for a nanny job closer to where I live. I also have experience babysitting/nannying for 4+ kiddos and am comfortable with up to 6 kids. I love all ages, but especially love the infant/toddler ages! I love engaging in play and being outdoors when possible. If you need me to do extra duties around the house (not including the common stuff like cleaning, doing dishes, etc) I am more than happy to help out!
