I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 10 years of paid childcare experience. My passion for working with children began at the age of 13 when I started babysitting for two young girls in my hometown. What began as an occasional babysitter, it quickly grew into a more meaningful, long-term position that lasted five years. During that time, I formed a close bond with the family and developed a deep appreciation for the positive impact a caring caregiver can have on a child’s life. After high school, I took on a summer nanny position before going off to college. I attended the University of Wisconsin Eau- Claire for the first two years and continued my education online through the University of Phoenix. While attending college, I continued to babysit and take on temporary nanny positions. Upon returning to Minnesota, I transitioned into professional nannying as a full-time job. I cared for a four-month old baby girl, handling all aspects of her daily care, including diapering, bottle feeding, tummy time, naps, walks and age appropriate stimulation and play. Although the family relocated after a few months due to a job change. The experience reinforced my commitment to providing attentive, nurturing care during the critical early stages of development. For the past two plus years, I’ve had the pleasure of nannying for two wonderful girls, currently age nine and twelve. In this role, I manage a wide range of responsibilities, including: • School transportation • Homework assistance • Meal planning, preparation, and packing lunches • Preparing and serving nutritious dinners • Kids laundry, cleaning/tidying up family spaces, dishes and organizing children’s spaces • Change the girls bedding • Switch winter clothes to summer clothes • Go through the girls clothes to determine what they’ve outgrown • Driving to extracurricular activities • Scheduling and driving to appointments • Set up play dates • Occasional overnights • Assist with packing and unpacking when the family goes on trips I am genuinely passionate about supporting children through their formative years. I believe childhood is a vital period of growth, creativity, and self-discovery, and I strive to create a safe, engaging, and enriching environment where children feel valued and empowered to explore their interests and development of the children in my care. I look forward to bringing my experience, warmth and dedication to a new family.

We hired Christine as a summer nanny for our two autistic children and could not have been happier with her services. She was flexible, caring, and very supportive of their unique needs! Christine kept the kids active and helped to support their social and emotional development. We highly recommend her services!

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.

Being a nanny / Babysitter is one of the best jobs I have ever had. My background is in Early Childhood Special Education but am Preschool, Kindergarten to 6th grade certified. I have my Coaching license as well and am 3 quarters short of a Master's Degree in Psychology. I have been working as a nanny for 4 years and have really enjoyed it. I have a lot of experience beyond the 4 years as a nanny since I am 48 and have been working with children my entire life.

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.
