Find nannies in Fridley, MN

I'm Tiona! I was born and raised here in MN and have been living in Blaine for a couple of years now. I've been learning childcare all my life, being the eldest sister of 6, but over the years starting at 15 I've grown an exciting passion for working with youth! Although in daycares I specialized in Pre-K, being able to care for and learn children in every age from infant to kindergartner is not only important emotionally to me but necessary I feel in my growth as a childcare provider. I prefer to work with children ages 6 and younger because I've learned to be very good with helping children regulate through their emotions and grow in their independence as big boys and girls, but I am open to and very qualified to work with kids of all ages. I am patient, efficient, a proven quick learner, and great at adjusting to different kids with all kinds of different personalities, behavioral challenges and learning abilities. I guarantee to all families genuine and hard work at all times! Plus, I want kids to have fun! I don’t believe in too much screen time when babysitting. I like to have in home activities, learning experiences, and outside time when needed. Your child’s physical safety and emotional wellbeing as well as their other personal needs will always be put first with me.

My name is Joanie Merriman. People would describe me as kind, compassionate, loving, caring and lots of fun! I am very responsible with a high level of integrity. I love people, children, animals and nature above all things. My passions have led me to pursue caregiving, for both humans and animals, as a fulfilling path. As a youth, I went through a childcare program and began babysitting when I was just 12. When I was in my twenties I worked at the San Diego Opera. While there I acted as the in house nanny for all the opera singers that would come through. In addition, I was part time nanny to the General Director’s two boys for six years. I have tons of experience in childcare. Most recently, I’ve cared for my great-niece for the last year since she was just three weeks old. After the Opera, I moved to Los Angeles where I primarily worked in business administration while also doing childcare part time. Babies and children are a passion of mine. They bring me so much joy! I am very playful and attentive; children take to me naturally. In 2007 my big sister was diagnosed with brain cancer. In 2008 I stopped working to be her full time caregiver. I was her primary caregiver for ten years. Over this time, her illness took on many forms. She developed dementia that became so severe I was bathing, changing her diapers and feeding her. I also have cared for my brother who has traumatic brain injury for over fifteen years. He is now in a care home but I still serve as his primary outside of the facility. In addition, I have my 89 year old mother that I am privileged to be able to care for when she is in need of assistance. All of this to say, I am very experienced in the care of children and adults of all ages with both physical and intellectual/neurological disabilities. Since my sister’s passing, I have been self employed doing home organization and resale. However, this has not been fulfilling for me; not enriching of my life. My desire to do more meaningful work has led me to pursue caregiving professionally; that and the urgings of many who site how caring I am and how natural it is for me. Caring for children, adults and animals comes natural for me. I am excited about this move in my life. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help care for a loved one(s) in your life. I am certified in infant, child and adult CPR and advanced first aid.
