Find experienced nannies in New Prague, MN

A little bit about me Hello, My name is Sara, and I'd love to share a little about myself. I have had the privilege of working as a Critical Care Registered Nurse for over 26 years. While becoming a nanny may seem like quite a career change, I have truly found joy in caring for children and supporting families in a more personal way. I was previously employed full-time by a wonderful family, caring for their 2-year-old toddler. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I assisted with meal preparation, light housekeeping, daily walks, and planned outings that encourage learning, socialization, and fun. Although my professional title has not always been "nanny," I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to older toddlers. My nursing background has provided me with exceptional skills in safety, patience, communication, and the ability to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I take pride in creating a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment where children can thrive while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are receiving attentive and compassionate care. I especially enjoy helping children learn age-appropriate skills such as the ABCs, counting, colors, shapes, sight words, and early problem-solving through play, reading, and everyday activities. As both a caregiver and healthcare professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and open communication with families. My goal is to support not only the children in my care but also the parents by helping make daily life run a little more smoothly. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support another family and help their children learn, grow, and thrive. Warmly, Sara *Recommendation letter upon reaching out to me*

I have over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning as a nanny in my teens and continuing through raising my own two sons (now teenagers, super kind, wicked funny) and caring for children professionally and within my extended family. I’ve worked with children of all ages—from newborns through school-age—with extensive experience caring for multiples, including twins, triplets, and even three boys under three years old at one time. I currently care part-time for my 3.5-year-old niece, which keeps my toddler play instincts sharp, my glitter tolerance recalibrated, and my knowledge of construction vehicles surprisingly current. Along with daily routines, I’m experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, coordinating age-appropriate activities, supporting emotional development, and managing high-energy personalities with calm and consistency. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as deeply nurturing, engaging, reliable, and intuitive with kids. I’m known to thrive in organized chaos and quietly redirect toddler-led negotiations before they reach DEFCON snack level. My background also includes homeschooling, facilitating independent learning, and creating enriching play and exploration-based environments. I am CPR/First Aid trained, comfortable with pets, and adept at clear, respectful communication with parents to ensure care aligns with their values, routines, and overall household flow.

Hi! My name is McKenzie Benedict. I am a recent graduate from Prior Lake High School and will be attending the University of St. Thomas next year. I also have a lot of college credits that I completed in high school, so I am definitely able to help out with any homework or summer practice work. In high school I was a fellowship of Christian athletes (FCA) leader, student leader at my church, junior optimist member, laker leaders member, varsity track and field runner, varsity cross country runner, and a soccer player. I have lots of childcare experience. I have been both volunteering and working in childcare for four years. I have been a swim lesson instructor for children of all ages for two years. I have also volunteered at a summer camp for three years. I have been babysitting for many years as well. These job experiences have taught me how to entertain and care for children for long periods of time. Also how to resolve conflicts effectively. I know basic safety and supervision skills as well. I supervise, care for, and entertain all the kids I watch. I love to stay active and busy so I would love to play sports, read books, do crafts, and much more with them. I am definitely a good nanny for children who love to stay busy. I am comfortable with pets as well. I have done a lot of dog watching and dog walking jobs myself. I also currently have a puppy. I am also very willing to clean the house, meal prep, or do any chores. I typically try to clean whenever I am able to while babysitting. I really want to nanny this summer so please reach out if you need one or if you have any questions!

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and cared for while having fun along the way. Watching kids grow, learn, and build confidence is something I find incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in being someone families can fully trust. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants and young children. I currently work in a childcare setting where I’m on my feet for several hours a day, actively engaging with children, supporting their routines, and responding to their individual needs. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and calm in all situations. In terms of skills and training, I’m experienced with infant care, feeding, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative with parents, and I always prioritize safety while creating a positive and nurturing environment. I’m happy to follow family routines and adapt to what works best for your child. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!

Hello! My name is Brittney, and I'm a proud mother of five boys, five cats, and one dog. Managing a busy household has taught me patience, organization, flexibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for children to grow and thrive. Caring for others has always been something I genuinely enjoy, which is what led me to pursue a career in professional childcare. I have three years of experience working in a licensed childcare center, where I became CPR and First Aid certified and completed numerous courses focused on child development, safety, and overall well-being. During that time, I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, each with their own unique personalities, learning styles, and needs. I have experience supporting children with a wide range of physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs, and I strive to provide patient, compassionate care that helps every child feel safe, understood, and encouraged. One skill I'm especially proud of is potty training - it's become one of my specialties, and I've earned the nickname "the potty-training wizard" from families and coworkers alike! In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help make your household run more smoothly. I am available for light housekeeping, pet care, house sitting, meal preparation, organizing, and helping children with activities at home or taking them on walks and outdoor adventures. While I do not drive, I am committed to being dependable, punctual, and making the most of activities that are accessible by walking or within your home. My goal is to become someone your family can trust and rely on - a caregiver who will treat your children with kindness, respect, and genuine care while giving you peace of mind when you're away. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family!

With 5+ years babysitting family and 2+ years paid experience in childcare, I can confidently say I love working with kids and getting to know the different personalities that come with them! I’ve diligently grown my leadership, problem solving, and active listening skills to make the best experience for the kids in my care!
