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

I became a certified babysitter for the first time when I was 11. I have always loved children, and as an adult I began working with preschool aged children professionally 10 years ago, when I worked in an infant room at a kindercare while earning a certificate of Montessori Education. Ever since I have worked in preschools, day care centers, nannied and babysat children, from ages 0-10. I love observing each child's special interests and following these to help them learn more about the world. I have experience with twins and potty-training. I currently work at a local preschool with toddlers, 16-36 months olds.

Hello! I'm Qamar Andrews, a 20 year old college student living in Maple Grove, Minnesota that's always had a soft spot for children. I love being sweet and silly with them, and overall caring for their wellbeing. I have open availability and I don't mind running errands (if gas is reimbursed). My rates range from $21/hr to $28/hr depending on the ages/needs, number of children, and tasks associated with the job. I look forward to potentially meeting you and being your child’s safe space! <333

Hi families! My name is Amira Osman, and I am a dedicated, nurturing caregiver with a strong background in both education and child development. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Sciences, along with a Minnesota K–8 substitute teaching license. I have several years of experience working with children from ages newborn through eighth grade. Those experiences being - 2015-2020 Daycare teacher/float for newborn - 4 yrs old. - 2018-2021 Substitute teaching from - 2022-2025 Nanny/Babysit for a few different families - 2021-2025 Elementary school teacher teaching second-grade for 3 years, and as a mindfulness teacher for 2 years. In addition to classroom teaching, I created and taught a school-wide mindfulness program focused on helping children understand and regulate their emotions, build empathy, and develop healthy coping skills. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and truly cared for, and I strive to create that kind of environment every day. Lastly, I am a very proud aunt to more than nine amazing children, ranging from newborn to 12 years old. Being present in their lives is something I truly cherish, and I happily spend much of my free time caring for them and supporting their growth. Aside from teaching, I would say the role of an aunt has definitely helped shape who I am, strengthening my patience, reliability, and adaptability. Through the joy, chaos, and unpredictability that comes with caring for children, I’ve learned how to remain calm, organized, and deeply attentive, always leading with love and understanding. With my background, and working closely with families, I’ve learned that it truly takes a village, and the right help can make all the difference. My goal as a nanny or babysitter is to support each child’s emotional, social, and developmental growth while making learning and daily routines fun, engaging, and meaningful. I am here to provide support in any way possible to try and make life a little easier for both the parents and children. I hope to speak soon!
