A little bit about me
My name is Tayler and I am an experienced teacher and nanny. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2017 with a degree in Family Social Science and Leadership. Since graduating I have spent most of my time teaching Kindergarten and Pre-K but have nannied for multiple families as well. I have experience with ages 6 months-13 years old, but as an educator I have a deep passion for ages 2-6 and preparing children for school. I not only come with a deep set of skills and knowledge as an educator, but also a plethora of teaching manipulatives, books, and curriculum that I love to incorporate with the families I work with. I currently live in West Palm Beach, Florida with my husband but we are moving back to Minnesota end of May.
Other fun facts about me:
-I have 6 younger siblings
-I've nannied for three different families with twins (ages 6 months-5 years old)
-I had two live in nannies growing up and I'm still close with both of them to this day!

A little bit about me
I am a career nanny with over 20 years of experience and am a certified Postpartum Doula. I have a three-year-old daughter and would love to bring her along but can make other arrangements as well. Our family moved to Minneapolis from Seattle in March of 2023 and we have been with a wonderful family with a now 2.5-year-old. Unfortunately they are no longer needing a nanny so I’m searching for a new loving family to work for and hopefully be a part of for the foreseeable future. I worked for two families in Seattle for over 6 years starting when their children were infants and am still very close with them all.
I am fully vaccinated and pet friendly. I take a Montessori approach to teaching and raising children and love to explore the outdoors, dance, listen to music, bake, and find joy in all things big and small everyday. Looking forward to this next big adventure and meeting a wonderful family to be a part of!

A little bit about me
Hi. My name is Christine and I'm 54 years old. I was a stay-at-home mother for 16 years to raise our five children. We homeschooled for a few of those early years. When I joined the workforce I worked with special ed children in the school district preschool. I learned so much about how to work with and educating young children. I did that job for 5 years and then turned to a a full-time position working with mentally, emotionally, physically, disabled or handicapped individuals 18 years and older. I learned even more from the contrast and from the things that actually work with both groups. I nannied in college for 3 years and I started to do Nanny work again about 4 years ago. I absolutely love what I do. I loved it when I was in my twenties and 30s, and I'm blessed to be able to return to it in my 50s and moving forward. Thank you.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Ellie and I was born and raised in Minneapolis! I recently decided to take a step back from my corporate job to explore other (and more enjoyable) job opportunities. :) I have experience caring for children since I was pretty much a kid myself. I am adventurous but responsible and always keep an open mind, which I have found beneficial in terms of building trusting and communicative relationships with children. With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and having incorporated Child Psychology into my studies, I am easily approachable given both my personal and professional understanding of children. Although I'm not a kid anymore I'm still continuing to grow as a person, and I would love the opportunity to share that experience with your children as they do the same.

Hi! I am a reliable, compassionate, and energetic person with 6 years of professional childcare experience, and well over a decade of personal childcare experience. Being the oldest of 18 grandchildren, caring for children has always been natural to me. When I care for your children, I want to be a part of your team, a part of your family.

Being able to be a key person in your child's life as they discover the world for the first time is the biggest privilege. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Recent reference
"I have known Sarai since 2017 when I started working at NPH USA (Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos). Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos is a network of homes for vulnerable children in Latin America and the Caribbean. Sarai and her brother lost their parents due to a car accident and they joined the NPH family in Honduras.
Although life was tough, Sarai took advantage of all the opportunities that NPH had to offer. She worked hard, studied hard, and found success in everything she set out to do. She still has this same energy, this same drive today.
Sarai found her passion and success as a teacher. She started working at NPH's Montessori school in 2017 and worked up until the pandemic struck in 2020. Sarai is a natural teacher/caregiver. She has endless amounts of patience and is truly gifted in teaching children and guiding them to feel confident in themselves and their abilities. Sarai is trustworthy and is most comfortable around family. You won't regret trusting her with yours."
