After babysitting friends children and my own nieces and nephews for 20 years. I’ve recently started doing it for others. My friends and family will tell you that I really like kids and kids really like me. I'm good at crafting, helping with homework, and keeping kids busy away from the screens. In addition to the babies and toddlers I am presently nannying, I currently have three nieces who are 7, a niece who is 10, nephews that are 14 and 18 and nieces that are 20 and 21. So I am familiar with child development from birth to adulthood. What I love about little ones is how fast they learn and they change so much it’s like meeting a new kid every week! I’m not just an occasional babysitter. I have been with these kids anywhere from 10 to 30 hours a week depending on the week. If I’ve learned one thing it is that every child is different, every parent is different and clear communication is the key to success. I will work hard to meet your expectations, ask questions where necessary and use my judgment in emergencies. I’m a non-smoker, I have a reliable car and I am fully vaccinated for COVID and everything else. I am CPR certified and I have taken classes in SIDS/abusive head trauma and pediatric first aid.
Hi, my name is Martina. I graduated with an AA in social and behavioral science. Most of the classes I took emphasize on behavior of baby to children. I have mostly work at daycare. I have two year working experience in a daycare that accepts children from six week old to twelve years old, which was a daycare that work with Hennepin county human service. Before working there I help my mother taking care of foster kids. They help me learn how to approach kids depending on their personality because of certain circumstances. I am willing to house sit. I have only have done it once but willing to do it again. I also offer housecleaning, dog sitter. I don't have a car but that has not stop me in going to where I need to go. I am always on time.
Hi! My name is Ella and I am a first year law student. Although I am new to the babysitting/nanny scene, I grew up taking care of my younger brother who is seven years younger than me. I was also a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program in high school where I interacted with elementary aged children. I really enjoy interacting with children and I am capable of creating a fun and supportive environment!
Hi there! 👋 I have extensive childcare experience and absolutely love working with kids of all ages. For 7 years, I was a full-time nanny for a wonderful family with four children, which gave me hands-on experience balancing different ages, schedules, and personalities all at once. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and fun while also keeping things safe and structured. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or making sure bedtime runs smoothly, I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a positive environment for children to thrive.
I'm Tanya, a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth with hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and kids of close family friends. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely love making kids feel comfortable and having fun. I'm good with all ages, can help with homework or any learning based tasks, and I'm always down to make snacks or a simple meal while I'm there. I'm also totally comfortable and willing to take care of pets. I love kids and am simply looking for opportunities to do what I enjoy and make busy families lives a little easier.
