Find nannies in Saint Louis Park, MN

Hi, my name is Zoe! I have worked with kids in various settings over the past 12 years as a babysitter, nanny, tutor, and ski instructor. My previous work has been with a wide range of ages from newborns to teenagers. I have experience working with different dietary restrictions and food allergies. I am trained on how to use an epipen and have previously been CPR certified. Currently, I am a student at Concordia University in St. Paul studying Child Learning and Development. I enjoy crafts, the outdoors, reading, and staying active. One of my favorite parts of working with kids is engaging in imaginative play. I love helping kids explore their surroundings as well encouraging them to use their minds to solve problems and come up with new ideas. I place a high value on play and feel it is fundamental to the growth and development of children. Through play children gain new skills and understand the world better. As a caregiver it is an honor to be apart of children’s play experiences. I believe that it is important to guide children so they can develop critical thinking skills rather than giving them all the answers or simply doing it for them. My hope is to not only help children flourish but to see families thrive. Along with supporting children my goal is to support parents so that at the end of the day families can engage in meaningful play together. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hello! I’m glad you found my page! I am an experienced and attentive caregiver with over 15 years of babysitting experience including full-time nannying for six years, ELS teaching assistant for a semester and 4 years as a water safety instructor for children ages 6 months- 15 years old. I have experience caring full time while parents go on vacation, doing school pickup/drop offs or overnights. I majored in Psychology in college and took classes on childhood development. I have a complex understanding of meeting children where they are at and allowing them autonomy in discovering the world (safety always being the first priority). I am a present, engaging and active caregiver with lots of experience taking toddlers out for different activities around the city including the Como Zoo, MIA, Walker Art Center, MOA, the wilderness center, library story times, plays, children’s yoga, swimming, etc! I am a crafty person and I like to engage in different arts and crafts projects as well with the kiddos. A socialization and learning experience in one is my goal! I love cooking, trying out new recipes and having dinner parties truly sparks joy for me! One of my favorite aspects of Minneapolis summer is biking all around town and spending evenings on the beach or taking a kayak out on the lakes. As a lifeguard for 6 years I love the water and swimming whenever I get the chance. I regularly practice yoga. I’m an animal lover and often pet sit or volunteer at the humane society too! I’m happy to watch any furry friends!

Hi, my name is Riya I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, currently I work as the Local Childcare Coordinator for GreatAuPairUSA. I've gained organizing skills, cleaning, cooking, etc. I love arts & crafts, making yummy dishes like homemade mac and cheese to my homemade chocolate chip cookies. I also love animals like dogs and cats; I grew up with both but also don't mind pet snakes and other little creatures! I myself have niece's and a nephew as well as gained a daughter from the loss of a friend unfortunately, but I treat her as if she was my own blood. I am adopted and understand what it's like to feel so different from the rest, and having a brother and father with disabilities, has truly taught me how kindness and patience help those around you succeed. My passion is childcare, I believe in creating a warm, fun, inviting atmosphere allows children to feel comfortable enough to grown, learn and have fun all together. I started working with children in high school, and over the last 10 years have moved up from babysitting, nannying to taking over a preschool program at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation board, to after school program for years then becoming the activities assistant for a Montessori while assisting the assistant director. I'd help with the environment of the school building and managing staff and helping with each room between infants - preschool age. But I have experience with all ages up to highschoolers.

As a caregiver, the most important part of the job is understanding the family first. Building a strong connection and clear communication with both the parents and children helps create a safe, trusting, and supportive environment. I value open communication everyone should feel heard and understood. I come from a large family and have always been surrounded by children of all ages, from infants just a few months old to cousins in their 30s. This has given me a natural comfort and experience with babies, toddlers, and older children. I'm someone who is not afraid to take initiative or face challenges head-on. I love bringing joy, structure, and care into a child’s day, and I strive to be both helpful and dependable for the family I work with.

Hi! I’m Sayma. I grew up in Minneapolis and am one of the oldest of 9 siblings, so caring for others has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently finishing my studies at the University of Minnesota, focusing on psychology. Outside of Urbansitter, I work as an IHS (Individualized Home Supports) worker, where I support individuals with their daily needs and help them become more independent. I’m looking for part-time and occasional jobs that work around my school and work schedule. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and families, and I’m dependable, patient, caring, and comfortable helping with everyday routines. I’m also CPR trained and can provide pet care, senior care, and household help when needed.
