A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Delaney, a caring and energetic nanny based in Mankato with several years of experience supporting families and helping children grow in safe, fun, and structured environments. I’ve worked with kids of all ages—from toddlers to school‑aged children—and I love creating days filled with learning, creativity, and consistency.

My background includes private nannying, childcare in school settings, and roles that strengthened my communication, organization, and leadership skills. I’m confident handling daily routines, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, helping with homework, and keeping things running smoothly at home.

Families describe me as dependable, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s well‑being. I believe in building strong relationships, supporting healthy development, and creating a space where kids feel encouraged, understood, and excited to learn.

I’m currently looking for a part‑time or full-time position and look forward to hearing from you!
