Hi I have been a career nanny going on 15 years. I have nannied anywhere from newborns all the way through school age children. I have a certification in Early childhood care, have been an instructor for cpr and first aid. I have 2 cats of my own and my current nanny family has 2 dogs and a kitten which I help out with. I also have some experience in household management, running errands, groceries, etc..
Hi, my names Anthony and I’m a junior in college, which I am doing remotely. I currently work at Fridley Tiger Club where I work with kids before school, giving them breakfast, watching over them and making sure they’re safe, as well as interacting with them. I have four younger cousins that live really close to me that I watch from time to time, so I have a lot of experience with kids!
As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With nine years of experience in child care, I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I am a patient and calm individual with a creative and imaginative approach to learning. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with children and their families. When it comes to communicating with parents, I follow their preferred method to ensure open and effective communication about their child’s day and any issues that may arise. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to provide a structured and consistent environment for children. My educational background includes coursework in early childhood development, which enhances my ability to provide age appropriate activities and experiences for children. I am comfortable caring for children of various age groups from infants to preschoolers. I am a mother of 4 children.
“Truly reliable and very communicative! She helped us out so much. We really appreciated having someone so dependable and caring. Would definitely book again!⭐️”
In short: I sincerely love working with kids professionally and am excited to work with families while in grad school. I have four years experience working in youth mental health, in school programs, clinical settings, and after-school services. I can handle just about any situation that may arise- I am Adult and Pediatric CPR certified, received EMT-B training in 2015, and have worked professionally with youth aged 8-20. I work with kids because I truly love it- the joy, curiosity, and growth of spending time with children and adolescents is like no other. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy at Saint Mary's- towards a goal of licensed, trauma-informed therapy with youth and their families. I have also been babysitting and nannying on-and-off for 15 years, for families with children aged 0-12. I have three younger siblings and certainly got plenty of formative experience there, strengthened by working for neighbors and family friends over the years. I also have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish of all shapes, sizes, and energy needs!
Hello! My name is Randi. I’m originally from California, and lived in San Francisco for about 9 years before moving to Minneapolis this past March! I work full time in Human Resources for a tech company, but I’m remote 2 days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule for evening jobs. I have 10 years of experience on Urbansitter and babysitting in big cities! I have a safe, reliable car and I am very comfortable with household tasks and errands as well! I love working with children, and part time childcare work is the perfect fit for someone like me who needs a more flexible work schedule! Feel free to message me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you!
