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

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!
