Find an after school nanny in Burnsville, MN

Hi! My name is McKenzie. 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 and off screens. I am comfortable with pets as well. My mom used to watch dogs when I was younger and I would help her a lot. I also 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!

I’m seeking part-time or full-time opportunities working with one or more families. I am friendly, responsible, and energetic. I am a social work pre-grad, a certified nursing assistant, and certified medication tech with 5 year’s experience in pediatrics, hospice, assisted living, and memory care facilities. I have 15+ years experience in childcare. Including, but not limited to nanny, babysitter, daycare assistant, tutor, and Teacher's Aid. Experienced also as a personal assistant, children’s soccer coach, preschool dance teacher, volunteer infant nursery manager and primary age Sunday school teacher. I’m a careful listener and I follow directions well. I’m a great communicator and innovative thinker. Special experience includes working with children and adults who have disabilities and medical conditions such as Autism, Dyslexia, Epilepsy, ADHD, Asthma, Diabetes, Hip Dysplasia, Oxygen Use, and Premature Infancy. Reliable transportation and flexible schedule.

I would love to be a nanny because I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for them. I’ve always loved working with kids and have hands-on experience through AmeriCorps and dance training, where I learned how to keep children active and happy. I’m currently in college studying kinesiology with a focus on child and adolescent development, so I understand how important movement and play are for kids as they grow. I’m available on weeknights and weekends and would be so excited to create a safe and fun environment for your child while you take some well-deserved time for yourself!

I have many years of experience caring for children and supporting families. I have worked as a special education paraeducator and PCA, giving me experience with children of different ages and needs. I am patient, caring, dependable, and responsible. I enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel safe and comfortable. I understand the importance of communication, routines, and treating every child with kindness and respect.

I have a lifelong background in caregiving, growing up in a foster family where I gained hands-on experience supporting children with different needs and personalities. I am also a mother, with direct experience raising a child with autism, which has deepened my patience, creativity, and understanding of individualized care. Professionally, I have worked in a childcare center, where I learned about lesson planning, early childhood education, and building engaging, safe environments. I bring warmth, reliability, and strong communication skills to every family I work with. Whether it’s helping kids learn, providing nurturing support, or keeping a household running smoothly, I care for children as if they were my own. Families can trust that I will provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care every time.
