Heidi B., Nanny in Elk River, MN 55330 with 20 years of paid experience

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

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.

Karen B., Nanny in Elk River, MN 55330 with 25 years of paid experience

I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Karen and it's a pleasure reading the profile of the assistance you need. My career was an Elementary teacher and Special Education for over 21+ years. I taught in FL and MN. When I grew up I did babysitting starting at age 9. And after that there was myself becoming an Aunt very young at age 13 and again at 19. I am now a Great Aunt of 4 Great nieces and 1 Great nephew. Believe me I babysat whenever I could! With teaching I often did nanny positions on summer or a few times when I didn't teach. I am very active and enjoy life too the fullest! Our family is extremely close and love to get together for any celebration and than play cards or dice . My hobbies are swimming, traveling to cabin, going out of the city to family farm, walking, biking, reading, crafts, going to craft shows, playing games, and so much more!!! I live alone with my new rescue dog- almost 5 years old. I have a very open personality that shows how much I enjoy life. I'm flexible, dedicated, punctual, very nurturing, patient, caring, open communication, loving, and most of all trusting. I was CPR certified, and First Aide but expired. Very willing to take!

Sydney S., Nanny in Elk River, MN 55330 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sydney. I recently moved back home to Minnesota after 5 years of exploring the Hawaiian islands while nannying full time. I have been nannying and babysitting for over 10 years and have a strong passion for teaching and caring for children. I was a daycare teacher for infants and toddlers up until my move to Hawaii, so I have a lot of experience caring for multiple children at once (as well as multitasking). I am a very reliable, trustworthy and organized person and I do not mind taking on other household tasks like cleaning, laundry, driving kids to activities or even errands. I have a sweet golden retriever mix and years of experience with caring for and fostering animals, so pets are not an issue at all for me. My favorite part of childcare is watching children grow and learn every single day. I still keep in touch with many of the families I have nannied for and getting updates from them always makes my day. Since I have worked with so many different families in the past 5 years I come with wonderful references that I would be happy to provide upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified and I have plenty of experience caring for infants as well as children with special needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me.

Olivia W., Nanny in Elk River, MN 55330 with 8 years of paid experience

***I live in Denver, CO, I’m from MN and I cannot change my location*** I was a full time nanny for over two years and cared for 4 different children during that time. My first family with an infant moved to the suburbs and then I was with my second family with their infant. That turned into a nanny share with their next door neighbors who also had an infant. Then one family moved and the other one had another baby. My contract ended in December and I’ve seen the family multiple times since we cultivated such a good relationship. I was CPR and First Aid certified in January 2022. I have babysat since I was 12 years old from watching kids for date nights, being a mother's helper, and even overnight stays. I have watched large groups of kids for volunteer experiences with other people and I also taught kids how to swim as small as toddlers. I have experience with kids of all ages especially toddlers and elementary age children. I care about safety first and foremost and try to give each child I interact with the space to be themselves.
