Hiya! I'm currently in college for Elementary Education, and with my 6 years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working in a Montessori daycare center, I know that childcare is where I am meant to be. I am certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and First Aid. I have experience with all ages 4mo-15yrs, and while littles are my favorite, I love spending time with kids of all ages! I am happy to help care for pets, from cats to dogs to hamsters or fish, and adore cooking/meal prep. When I'm not working, I love to spend my time outdoors, whether that's swimming with my little sister, exploring the woods with friends, or biking to town, and I could also talk your ear off about ECE pedagogy! Can't wait to meet you (:
Hello! My name is Londyn and I am 18 years old. I am currently looking for a part-time nanny position because I love working with children and I am passionate about providing quality care. I have extensive experience in childcare, over 3 years of professional experience and over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, ranging from 2 months to 16 years old. I am also certified in CPR, first aid, SIDS, food safety, WSI, and fire safety, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe and secure in my care. I am open to light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, running errands, and more! I am located in the Eden Prairie area, but I am willing to commute up to 25+ miles for the right family. My rate is $20+ per hour, reflecting my qualifications, experience, and skills. I would love to meet some new families and help provide the care and support that your child needs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in my services.
Hi! I’m a reliable, calm, and experienced caregiver with a background in working with kids and supporting families. I’m also a mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home. I have experience with school-age children and teens, and I’m especially strong with homework help, organization, and keeping kids on track in a positive, low-stress way. I’m patient, engaging, and good at explaining things in a way kids actually understand. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and keeping things running smoothly while you’re busy. I also enjoy being active with kids, whether that’s getting outside, doing creative activities, or just making sure they feel comfortable and supported. Families would describe me as dependable, easy to communicate with, and someone who genuinely cares. I’m flexible and available for last-minute or occasional needs as well.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
