A little bit about me
Hello! I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I started with babysitting, then started daycare work. For the past 3 years, it's been nanny work for 2 wonderful families. Now that all kiddos are in school, I am searching for more work. I am CPR and first aide certified. I believe in a Montessori approach. I'm big on imagination, outdoor activities, reading, art projects, science experiments, and other educational crafts. Part-time positions, or a full time position are welcome. I am available for school pick up, and am well acquainted with the juggle of housework, cooking, and childcare/ entertainment. I provide outings to The Duluth Children's Museum, Aquarium, playgrounds, picnics, and special events. I am a mother to 2 little ones who often come along, during nannying shifts. My experience with nannying, ranges from 3 infants, to 6 children, ages 2 to 7. Please feel free to message, with any questions! Thanks for reading!

"Our family loves Emilee! We hired Emilee as part of a nanny-share to care for our son (from age 6M to 18M). We were so sad to leave Emilee when our family relocated in the Summer of 2018.
Emilee is a fantastic caregiver. She is kind, energetic, and fully engages with the children under her care. Our nanny share included 3-young children (including Emilee's daughter) and we were so impressed by her ability to manage and thrive in the chaos! She devotes her attention to each child ensuring the needs of each individual is met.
Emilee is highly responsible, timely, and trustworthy. I highly encourage you to consider her for your childcare needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions. "

A little bit about me
I'm Alia, I am 25 and I have my own car with insurance. I'm very comfortable with children of all ages. I am looking for a job with smaller children who I can help grow and nourish during the childhood years. I love to bake/cook, do arts and crafts, go on adventures outdoors or at the zoo or aquarium. I can be patient and am a good listener. I am looking for a family who will accept my daughter and myself as part of their family. I am looking for something long term to build trust and a great relationship. I had my CNA lisence and also have taken many courses of CPR training in infants to adults. I have a 1 year daughter and She comes with me to my current position (ending soon when child goes to Montessori school) so I haven’t needed childcare for her. She’s a happy baby who loves other kids! I’m looking for a position I can bring her along, if this is something you’d consider I’d be happy to talk more and see if I could be the right fit for your family.

A little bit about me
I am currently a college student pursuing a degree as a Physical Therapy Assistant. I have lots of experience working with children. While I was in high school I babysat the kids at my church while the parents went to bible study before service along with babysitting a few kids around my neighborhood growing up. I had also volunteered at a daycare center in my hometown, St. Cloud, MN. My volunteer work includes volunteering at the St. Cloud Hospital (4 years), Country Manor Nursing Home (3 years), Camp Friendship, a summer camp for those with special needs (2 summers), and mentioning again, the daycare center (2 years). Summer is most kids' favorite time of year, a time to have fun and do activities. I will make sure they have a great summer!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kimberlee Grogan, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself and my passion for caregiving. For the past 9 months, I’ve been a nanny in Atlanta, GA, caring for a baby girl from birth to 9 months old. This experience has been a wonderful reminder of how much I love nurturing little ones through singing, creative play, and fostering their development.
I’ll be returning to Duluth, MN, in April 2025 to be closer to family and to welcome a new role as a grandmother. As the proud mother of three grown boys, I bring years of hands-on parenting experience. In my early 20s, I was a full-time nanny, and more recently, I cared for my elderly father, further deepening my dedication to caregiving across generations.
Caregiving is truly in my blood, and I believe in creating nurturing, playful environments where children thrive emotionally and creatively. I am excited to continue making meaningful connections and supporting families during this next chapter of my journey.

A little bit about me
I am 18 years old and I am a very friendly person and get along with all ages of kids. I grew up helping my dad raise 5 younger siblings and have years of experience babysitting and caring for kids. I also work in healthcare and have experience with dementia, Down syndrome, trismy 13 and 18, and ADHD. I am very easy to work with and very flexible:) I believe that being a nanny and baby sitter isn’t just about watching the kids and making sure they stay safe but also building a friendship with them and gain there trust and with the parents too:) I am always willing to help out extra wether that’s helping clean up more or help with homework or even staying a little later if needed. I’m very flexible and always willing to help out when I can. The only reason I ask for a higher price is I just recently moved from my home in Aurora mn and need to be able to pay my bills and afford an apartment before winter hits

A little bit about me
I grew up as a natural caretaker of my younger siblings and cousins, which led me to a career of childhood education! I have a degree in Environmental and Outdoor Education from UMD, and have been working as a preschool teacher for age 2-5 y.o. in the Twin Cities. I am moving back to Duluth in August and am seeking my fourth nanny family! In my free time I love hiking, cooking, and reading books in my hammock. I am open to any age, gender, and duration of childcare. Something long term through the school year and next summer would be ideal! I love planning creative and engaging lessons with emphasis on exploration and enjoying time outside. If you think I'd be a good fit for your family, send me a message and we can talk further! Thank you.

Hello, I am Sydney Roberts!
I am a current preschool teacher looking for a change. I spend most of my free time outdoors with my dog or doing art at home! I am actively getting my Child Development Associates and have 4 years of paid experience ranging from preschool to kindergarten and Special Education. I have also volunteered in classrooms since my junior year of highschool! I enjoy watching little minds grow and I am hoping to focus my skills into one or two children. I love nature based learning and believe every child deserves a safe space to learn. Although I do not have experience with infants/toddlers in a professional setting, I am an older sister so I have lots of experience with them on a personal level. I am open to up to 3 children depending on ages and other responsibilities required.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Mimi Arnold, and I am a current Sophomore at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. I am studying business, majoring in marketing, and minoring in international business. I have spent my last two summers working at an early childhood learning center working with infants up to kindergarten-aged children and have fallen in love with spending my time with kids. This upcoming summer, I am moving back down to the cities to nanny three kids part-time and continue with my work at the learning center. I completed my CPR certification in August of 2021 and have a reliable four-wheel-drive vehicle and a clean driving record. I would love to be kept in mind for date nights as I will be in the Duluth area till mid-may. I will also be looking for part-time nanny families in the fall when I move back to Duluth to begin my junior year at UMD. I have fallen in love with Duluth in the past two years and can't wait to get to know the amazing families that live here as well.
