Booked by 1 family in Coon Rapids, MN

I am a fun, caring, God-fearing, trustworthy individual. I come from a Christian background and a big family. I’m currently a Montessori lead teacher and I’ve been in a lead role for a year and a half. Prior to that, I’ve been nannying for 2 years in home before switching to an early childhood center. I recently had a baby girl April 2024, I love my job, but I’m looking to become an independent home caregiver to create a more intentional and focused environment. I’m an active member of my church, and when I’m not at church, I am at family events or at home with my family! I want to use my wisdom to be a part of the development of children and make an impact in their life while helping families. I’m here to serve others! I have CPR, AED, and first aid certification from the American Heart Association. I have some Montessori training as well. In my past I obtained CNA certification, and I’ve worked with the elderly for 3+ years before switching to working with children. My heart is with the children and the elderly. I have experience with ages 0-10; I prefer to work with infants up to ages 4 or 5. I am willing to take on kids over that age if there is an infant or another child. I can do anything needed by the parent. I enjoy all activities! Anything from painting, reading, arts and crafts, language exploration, sign language, and more. Since I have my own infant I would like to open my home to families instead of traveling.
