Find nannies in Maple Plain, MN

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.

Hello! I'm Qamar, a 21 year old UMN student living in Maple Grove, Minnesota who’s always had a soft spot for children. I love being sweet and silly with them while overall caring for their wellbeing. My current family is moving to another state soon, so I’m looking to start helping a new family in early June. I don't mind running errands (ex. shopping, returns, car maintenance, etc) so long as gas is reimbursed for far distances. We can also discuss a "household manager" arrangement if you're looking for more than just childcare. My rates range from $22/hr to $28/hr depending on the ages, needs, number of children, and tasks associated with the job. I look forward to potentially meeting you and being your child's safe space!

Hi! I’m Olivia. I’m 25 years old. I’m trying to find a summer nanny job as I’m due in early August. I would love to come back afterwards. I prefer developing relationships and keeping consistency. I have two years studying psychology in hopes of working and helping children in the future. I’ve been working in childcare for about 3 years, primarily with toddlers-prek. I’ve babysat and nannied throughout my highschool and early college years. I’ve traveled with families and have experience working with children on the spectrum. Working in childcare as a lead teacher, I’m used to being with 7-10 kids by myself, with the a whole day of planned of activities. I like to stay busy! I am CPR/first aid certified. I have Nursing Assistant experience as well. I have a one year old myself and would love to take her along to enjoy the activities and to have a playmate or two! I’m very artistic, creative, adventurous and a huge nature person. If I can, I will be outside! I love arts and crafts, going on adventures, and seeing the spark/confidence of kids when they learn. I’m not a technology person as I believe it depletes real learning that comes from experience, play and social skills. I’m willing to do household tasks, cook, help with school and potty training. Let’s chat and we can discuss! Ps. I am not Covid vaccinated nor my daughter-not willing to change that. Thanks for reading this far! I hope you reach out and get to know me further 🥰🙌

Hello everyone! My name is Melissa, and I am very new to this site. You can call me nanny Mcphee! I am not kidding when I say this! I have this strong internal mother instinct that naturally drives me to create a safe, fun, and loving atmosphere for children in my presence. I was very fortunate to gain a wealth of experience working with children in all age groups in a multitude of different school settings. I worked for Spokane schools district 81 (Spokane Washington) as an Instructional aid/float classified substitute. In this position, I worked with children with special needs, children who needed behavioral intervention, and I worked side by side with teachers in an array of different classroom settings. My experience does not end here, I also worked as an Education Assistant and had the pleasure to work with students from age groups K-12 in a clinical/learning environment at Prairie Care and I worked as a lead teach in a daycare center for one year.. My personality is very exuberant and child-like. Most people would say I have an innocence to me that awakens my inner child. It's no surprise that children tend to warm up to me very quickly. Throughout my personal life, I have played the role of a nanny or babysitter for many of my family members, neighbors, and friends. I love animals so much and I have cared for cats and dogs from previous pet-owner experience. My number one goal in life, is to achieve happiness through helping other people. What better way can I achieve this none other than putting a smile on a person's face and filling their heart with laughter. Lastly, I graduated from college with an AAS, AA degree, I hold a Medical Assistant certification from Spokane Community College and I completed a year of college credits from Eastern Washington University with a focus on education and pedagogy. At the moment, I am available as an on-call nanny. I currently work as a school bus driver which takes up my schedule throughout the week. I can always work with families and be flexible with scheduling.
