A little bit about me

Hello! As a stay-at-home mom to a wonderful 17-month-old son, I understand firsthand the importance of providing a safe, engaging, and caring environment for little ones to grow and thrive.

I’m passionate about early childhood development and love helping children explore the world through play, learning activities, and outdoor time. I’m also highly reliable, communicative, and always committed to maintaining routines and respecting each family’s unique needs and values.Because I care for my son full-time, I would bring him along to any nannying opportunity. He is a sweet, friendly toddler who enjoys playing and interacting with other children. I find that having a little playmate can be a positive and enriching experience for other young children in my care.I’d love the opportunity to support your family while providing a caring, safe environment for your child or children. Thank you for considering me!

A little bit about me

My name is Grace and I am a junior at MSU Mankato! For the past two summers I’ve nannied 3 children busy since I am staying in Mankato over the summer I am looking for a new family to help out. I love being outside and going on walks , one of my favorite things to do with the kids I nannied before was to take them on hikes! I am still currently in school and plan to take a few summer classes so I’m looking for a fairly flexible schedule. I also have another job server tables but I only work nights so daytime scheduling won’t be an issue!
