A little bit about me
I am 20 years old and am currently a Sophomore at The University of North Dakota. This summer I will be living in Minneapolis and am looking to connect with a family and be a nanny! I absolutely love kids, I was a nanny for several years in high school and had so much fun. I grew up being the oldest of my 9 cousins, so I’ve always been surrounded by younger kids, making me that “role model” figure and I just love it. I am very laid back and go with the flow. I love to play sports, be outside and do activities! I also love to watch movies and play board games, whatever the kids want to do! Ideally, I would like to work 40 hours! I am willing to do whatever it is you need to to do from transportion to cleaning ect. Super excited for another fun, summer nanny opportunity!

A little bit about me
background: public and private school (breck)case manager, nanny, housekeeper/ organizer/ interior decorator, author, photographer, artist. I desire to inspire through empowerment, the outdoors, creativity, storytelling, and movement. I'm a free spirited that views the deeper meaning(s) of life through sub/consciousness and mindfulness. I have a willingness to see the good in every given situation. I value the success of our youth; mentally, and emotionally—as they are our future; we must ensure their minds follow their heart, and their heart follows their passion(s). Life is for existing fully as yourself, creating the world in which you live in. I love imagination, wonder, and adventure. Everyday is a new day to learn something new—about yourself, others, and community. I love to remind children that life is endless, be anything you want to be, and be safe while doing it. It’s okay to fear, because our fullest potential is on the other side of it. “The sooner than later” is important

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Chantel, and I’m someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and supporting families. I’m currently pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and how to create supportive, engaging environments for kids of all ages.
I bring patience, creativity, and intentionality to every caregiving role. Whether I’m planning a sensory-friendly activity, helping with homework, encouraging independence in daily routines, or simply spending quality time playing, I focus on meeting each child where they’re at. My OT path has helped me develop skills in observation, communication, and adapting tasks so that kids feel confident, capable, and supported.
A little bit about me: I’m responsible, compassionate, and committed to being a positive, reliable presence for families. I value open communication, consistency, and creating a safe, fun space for children to grow.

A little bit about me
I am a 24 year old recent St. Olaf college graduate. I studied Cross-Cultural Wellness Studies in college, an individual major (like Public Health). I am currently studying Public Healthiness graduate school at the UoM. I am also working at Seward Coop on Franklin. I am a Multi-Department Clerk.
During my free time I like to be active (run, swim, weight lift), cook and bake and take care of my plants! I also like to dance, walk and knit with friends. I am in a Spanish club and at an intermediate level. I am looking to better my Spanish skills every day.
Before working at Seward I was working at the YMCA as an Infant Assistant Teacher for their child care services in St. Paul. So, I have tons of experience with 6mo-18mo year olds. Besides this experience, I have grown up nannying and babysitting for kids 1-6 years old. I am excited to reinvigorate this part of my life.
Currently I am Red Cross CPR certified and have recently done many 45 hours of child care training.
