Hello, I am Mainou(My-new) and originally from Minnesota. I mostly just babysit when I’m free and can fit it in. Been on hiatus on urban sitter for awhile but super excited that I can finally do this again. I come from a BIG family and as one of the older kids I definitely have a lot of experience taking care of the young ones from my teenage to my Aunty years. Also assisted my mother during her daycare years.

Hi my name is Shelley, I have over 30 years Experience working with Children & Families. I have my current First Aid & CPR License I am Covid-19 Vaccinated. I am blessed to be a Mom to 4 of my own Kids who are all Grown up Young Adults now. I owned & operated my Licensed Child Daycare for over 23 Years. In my Daycare, I was Licensed with a Capacity of 14 & I worked with Children who were enrolled beginning ages from Newborn Infants up to around 14 years of age. My experiences with Children throughout the years has been amazing. And I worked with Children from all walks of Life. I have also worked with Children with Disabilities on all sorts of different spectrums. I knew from a Young age in my LIFE that I was meant to work with Children. That is one of the reasons I opened my own Licensed Childcare. So that I would have the personal option to provide care whether they enrolled in my Licensed Program as a Newborn, or an Infant, Toddler, preschool age or School I was able to offer it all. And the flexibility if they just needed hourly care, Part Time, or Full Time care. Also whether it be for Preschool preparedness, Kindergarten preparedness or any Child who may of just needed to come into my program for some Tutoring Assistance. Or if they only needed Transportation safely to & from their Schools. Each & every Child I have ever worked with throughout the years, I have always appreciated, valued & I have very special memories with each & every one of them. My MISSION has always been to give my Families & Parents the security & comfort knowing that their Child/ Children are safely in my care while they have to be away from them for any amount of time. I was also a Licensed FIRST AID & CPR INSTRUCTOR & I was also a Licensed Monitor for the Superior Courts in California for Families that needed or who were seeking REUNIFICATION with their Children. I am hoping that this gives a little Information on me & my Background & Experience of working with Children. I hope that someday soon I can be of assistance to a Family in need. I do have a pretty flexible schedule, unless I am booked for travel, then I would need a little more advanced notice. Just a side note of additional information. I do provide overnight care if ever needed. I provide overnight care at your home if you ever need or plan to travel without your Kids for Adult time, Business Trips, Vacation or for any reason you may need. Also if I am available & I am not scheduled to work with any other families. I am willing to travel with Families on Trips, Vacations or for any reason if I am ever needed to. It does help me best however, if I am given advanced notice so I can prepare my schedule for a planned trip. Thank you for reading my profile, I hope I can be of assistance to your family soon. Sincerely; Shelley

I've been working independently as a babysitter since I was 15 years old. Over the past 6 years, I've had the privilege of serving as a nanny for multiple families, caring for children ranging in ages from newborns to school-aged. My experience includes everything from bottle-feeding infants to school pick-ups and drop-offs, and I tailor my care to each family's unique needs. As a former homeschooling parent myself, I bring a strong educational and creative approach to childcare. This experience has given me a deep understanding of child-led learning, patience, and flexibility. Whether your child thrives with quiet time at home, exciting outings, or a healthy balance of both, I'm happy to accommodate. My goal is always to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment that works for both the parents and the child(ren). I am CPR and First Aid Adult/Child/Infant certified.

“Very calm and the babies liked her very much”

I have over 10+ years experience in care giver work it's what I love to do! Making sure that others are ok makes me happy. Children and elderly people love me. I'm very skilled at interacting with them and enjoy finding fun activities to keep them occupied.
