A little bit about me
Hi there, my name is Madison and I’m an energetic and creative 22 year old! I have a Bachelors Degree in Marketing, but childcare is my true calling. With 4 years of nannying and over 12 years of babysitting experience, my favorite age groups are infants and toddlers, but I have experience with all ages.
My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to.
In my personal time I love to bake, read, and care for my energetic Labrador Retriever, Oakley. My husband and I enjoy traveling and weekly board game competitions! I look forward to meeting you.

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m Kelly, a Mom of a 16yo who’s been self-employed as a Public Artist focusing on nature play for
17yrs in S Minneapolis. I’ve been working with and caring for kids and youth since I was 12yo. In my art studio, I held regular kids art classes and workshops, along with creating my own unique product of hand-woven playhouses for youth in public settings like libraries, schools, parks, and playgrounds. I also regularly teach art summer camps to youth, many serving youth with developmental needs. I’m downscaling my small biz to pursue a counseling degree and hoping to Nanny FT to maintain income. My superpower is play and art-making with kids, so your kiddos will get plenty of creative enrichment and outdoor time. I have tons of experience with infants and supporting young families through the challenging first year of parenting. I’m happy to help families with minor house cleaning and cooking, as well as pet care. Thanks for considering me!

Hi there!
My name is Chebria and if you’re looking for someone who can juggle schedules, snacks, and the occasional emotional meltdown — all while keeping a cool head and a warm heart — you’ve found her! 👋🏼😊
I bring over 5 years of experience working with children and vulnerable individuals in residential and therapeutic settings. I’ve worn many hats — from Program Supervisor and Support Coordinator to Youth Counselor — all roles where I’ve used trauma-informed care, behavior management, and crisis response strategies to support growth, safety, and lots of fun.
My heart is in helping young people feel seen, supported, and safe — and yes, I’m also great at bedtime stories, sensory activities, and hiding vegetables in meals like a stealthy ninja mom-friend.
I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and compassion into your home. Let’s chat!
