Sittercity helps Dane families find the best nannies

Hello there! Welcome! I am a responsible, patient, compassionate, trustworthy, enthusiastic and reliable childcare provider that I believe would make a great candidate for you and your family. I have completed 40+hours of Early Childhood training and 15+ additional training hours annually to be a licensed child care provider in the state of WI. As a caregiver, I enjoy being active, creative, playful, taking kids on adventures, using creative play, positive reinforcement guidance, long walks, bike rides, singing, dancing, reading, being silly, cooking together, all while maintaining a consistent routine and flow throughout the day. I thrive at staying on task, encouraging routines while remaining flexible and calm that children also require. (professional nanny - I am open to doing extra on the side such as cleaning, laundry, errand running/household maintenance) I respect all parents’ rules for their children, along with keeping an “open door” policy of communication. I have learned consistency is key when it comes to taking care of littles. So you can always expect that same consistency and great level of quality care from me as the provider every time I am with your child/children. My #1 priority, always, is your child’s safety. A close second, your child is always having FUN and feels LOVED & RESPECTED in my care! With the privileged of having many years of experience working with different early childhood ages and stages, it has provided me with the confidence to be a premier child care provider. All in all I love children and appreciate your time and consideration.

Hi parents! With virtual schooling right around the corner, I am looking to help a family navigate these new systems. I hope to bring a sense of relief and trust to your home and family. I am 21 years old and live on the edge of Sun Prairie/East Madison with my boyfriend, two lab mix puppies, and cat. My sister and I have a six year age gap, so I was able to learn important care-taking skills from a young age. I started out babysitting her from toddler on. I have since worked with many different ages and personalities between child-friendly entry level jobs, watching over friend/family members’ children, and babysitting part-time for both shorter and longer term arrangements. I am now self-employed, which caused me to opt for leaving my post-secondary education behind. In high school I had a 4.0GPA including AP classes, and I was the captain of my varsity cheerleading team. My strongest subjects are math and writing, but I am able to jump into nearly any topic and adjust quickly. I am willing and able to handle tasks such as actively monitoring and participating in kid-friendly activities, cooking or meal prep, schoolwork help, household chores, pet care, etc. I strive to follow every instruction exactly as it is given and I am not afraid to ask for clarification. I am currently seeking out a position in this field because I love having the chance to help others, no matter how big or small. I am especially interested in helping children develop and grow into the world around them! I believe this school year will be challenging for parents across the country as not only will there be a higher demand for sitters, there will also be a higher demand for those able to guide students through lesson plans. I want to be apart of the solution and offer a family the proper assistance. I am most interested in full time sitting throughout this school year. I am extremely flexible in terms of scheduling and can conform to your household’s needs. As I mentioned, I am self-employed. Furthermore, my company is completely outsourced at this point so I do not have scheduling restraints in any capacity. I choose to continue working as I like to keep busy and find different ways to serve my community. I believe children need to be surrounded by well-rounded individuals in order to continuously encourage growth mentally and emotionally. I hope you feel that I can be an appropriate fit for your family!

I was previously studying early childhood education at Matc, but recently decided to switch my studies to medical sonography in Beaver dam! While I was in high school though is when I started my childcare journey, I did an internship program that allowed me to work at daycare. While doing this, I obtained my assistant, and lead teaching license. I am also certified in SIDS, Shaken Baby Syndrome, and First Aid/CPR. I have just over three years of experience working at a daycare, but have been babysitting for 8-10 years! I have a genuine passion for working with children and helping them grow! I went back to the daycare and I was a co-teacher in an infant room, I loved everything about the center, children and staff but unfortunately I was looking for something with a little more one on one, close fit family. I ended up starting my nanny journey and have loved it! My most recent position I had was for two twin girls. I started when they were just 4 months old until they were 9 months old. It was an amazing experience but unfortunately our schedules didn’t align anymore which is why I am on the hunt again for the perfect fit! A little more about me, I live in Windsor and have a 3 year old German Shepherd and an orange tabby cat named Polo. I love to shop, watch Netflix especially rewatching Greys Anatomy, and hangout with family and friends. My schedule for school is completely open as I am currently on a waitlist for my program! I am up to date on vaccinations and have reliable transportation! My goal is to provide the best care possible while creating amazing relationships, and I am open to additional household tasks as well!

I have my own car with a clean driving record. I am very loving, patient, and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining planned out. Babysitting/nannying is something I love doing because every day is different and new and it's amazing being part of the child's life, watching them learning and growing as a person.

Hello! My name is Monique Potgieter, and I am excited to introduce myself as a potential sitter for your children. I have three years of experience working as an au pair in both South Africa and the Netherlands, where I had the privilege of caring for children between the ages of 2 and 8. Throughout my time as an au pair, I built strong, trusting relationships with the families I worked with, providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for the kids. I hold a certificate in Early Years Child Development, which has equipped me with a deeper understanding of children's growth and learning needs. In addition, I am certified in first aid, so you can rest assured that your children's safety and well-being are always my top priority. What truly drives me to be a sitter is my love for children. I find joy in fostering their curiosity, creativity, and growth while keeping them entertained and safe. I believe in the importance of creating meaningful, positive experiences that contribute to their emotional and social development. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your little ones. I am eager to meet your family and ensure that your children receive the care, attention, and fun they deserve!

Hi! I’m a senior at UW–Madison studying Community & Organizational Development and Health Promotion/Health Equity. I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for over six years, caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Most recently, I worked with a wonderful family for the past year, caring for two sweet girls (ages 4 and 6). Watching them grow and supporting their development has been such a rewarding experience. I love being a sitter because every child is unique, and I genuinely enjoy helping them learn, feel safe, and have fun. I'm patient, reliable, and always try to bring positive energy into a home. I’m also experienced in first aid and am happy to renew my CPR certification as needed. Whether it’s helping with routines, school pickups, playtime, or simply being a calm, supportive presence—I love being someone families can count on.

Hello! My name is Natalie and I will be a junior at UofM majoring in Movement Science to become a pediatric occupational therapist! This semester I have no Friday classes so I am looking for a part-time babysitting/nanny job. I love working with kids and have been a summer nanny for 5 years! I have a total of 7 years of experience. Some of my favorite babysitting activities include crafting and baking! I have my own transportation, am vaccinated for covid and the flu, and am CPR certified. Feel free to send me a message with what you are looking for, I would love to hear from you!

My babysitting experience started with helping to raise my three younger siblings. I had also worked at the Cornell Daycare Center, where I attended to the needs of fifty toddlers (separate times, of course). I have much patience, and believe this is very important for fostering good relationships with children. I have a passion for creating a comfortable and secure environment that allows children to be themselves. Learning centers are my specialty, and story times are the best. My favorite book to read is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I also play the violin and a bit of guitar. I speak intermediate German as well.
