A little bit about me

I am a retired Division 1 hockey player and a proud graduate of Clarkson University, where I honed my discipline, teamwork, and communication skills on and off the ice. This coming Fall 2025, I will be attending graduate school to pursue my passion for speech pathology. My ultimate goal is to become a pediatric speech pathologist, as I am deeply committed to helping children overcome communication challenges.

Throughout my life, I have always had a love for working with children. My experiences as a student-athlete have instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and leadership, qualities that I bring to any caregiving role. I am eager to create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for children, while helping them grow and thrive. Whether it’s assisting with daily activities, providing emotional support, or offering educational guidance, I am excited to make a positive impact on their lives.

Livana M. - Seeking Work in Minneapolis

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Minneapolis, MN: Livana M.

Hi!

My name is Livana and I am a full time worker at New Horizon Academy. I am CPR certified and first aid certified. I have been working in the infant room working with babies from 3 months to 16 months, and am very good with babies but would love to experience working with kids a little older too. I want to switch from a center to nannying to be able to focus on just a few kids and build a stronger bond with them than I'd be able to in a center enviorment. I am currently studying early childhood education at Minneapolis College (and passing). My hours will have to work around college, although most of it is online, I have one class at 4:30 p.m Tuesday's and Thursday's. I have worked with kids with behavioral issues but have yet worked with kids with special needs. I also have 2 dogs and have worked at a doggy daycare, so I'm more than comftorable being in a home with dogs. I can't wait to meet and provide for your family!

Lily D. - Seeking Work in Minneapolis

Full-Time Nanny Available in Minneapolis, MN: Lily D.

Hi, my name is Lily!

I have been babysitting for a family with four girls, ages 1 to 8, for the past three years, which has helped me develop strong multitasking skills and lots of patience. (I would be happy to send Sonja's, the mother of the kids I babysit, number of you are interested in talking to her!) I also babysit occasionally for other families on date nights, though not as regularly. Additionally, I work at a toy store on weekends, where I’ve gained experience interacting with kids and learned how to play just about every game. I also love getting outside, cooking, and swimming!

I have my driver’s license and will be obtaining my CPR certification, through the Red Cross, in early March.

I support a gentle parenting style, focusing on problem-solving and understanding the emotions behind behaviors before using consequences. I’d love to discuss this more with you to ensure I can align with your family’s approach and remain consistent with your rules.
