A little bit about me

My name is Tayler and I am an experienced teacher and nanny. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2017 with a degree in Family Social Science and Leadership. Since graduating I have spent most of my time teaching Kindergarten and Pre-K but have nannied for multiple families as well. I have experience with ages 6 months-13 years old, but as an educator I have a deep passion for ages 2-6 and preparing children for school. I not only come with a deep set of skills and knowledge as an educator, but also a plethora of teaching manipulatives, books, and curriculum that I love to incorporate with the families I work with. I currently live in West Palm Beach, Florida with my husband but we are moving back to Minnesota end of May.

Other fun facts about me:
-I have 6 younger siblings
-I've nannied for three different families with twins (ages 6 months-5 years old)
-I had two live in nannies growing up and I'm still close with both of them to this day!

A little bit about me

I am a career nanny with over 20 years of experience and am a certified Postpartum Doula. I have a three-year-old daughter and would love to bring her along but can make other arrangements as well. Our family moved to Minneapolis from Seattle in March of 2023 and we have been with a wonderful family with a now 2.5-year-old. Unfortunately they are no longer needing a nanny so I’m searching for a new loving family to work for and hopefully be a part of for the foreseeable future. I worked for two families in Seattle for over 6 years starting when their children were infants and am still very close with them all.
I am fully vaccinated and pet friendly. I take a Montessori approach to teaching and raising children and love to explore the outdoors, dance, listen to music, bake, and find joy in all things big and small everyday. Looking forward to this next big adventure and meeting a wonderful family to be a part of!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Ellie and I was born and raised in Minneapolis! I recently decided to take a step back from my corporate job to explore other (and more enjoyable) job opportunities. :) I have experience caring for children since I was pretty much a kid myself. I am adventurous but responsible and always keep an open mind, which I have found beneficial in terms of building trusting and communicative relationships with children. With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and having incorporated Child Psychology into my studies, I am easily approachable given both my personal and professional understanding of children. Although I'm not a kid anymore I'm still continuing to grow as a person, and I would love the opportunity to share that experience with your children as they do the same.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Claire, I am a college student looking to work for the summer! In my free time I enjoy reading, biking, and most of all, synchronized swimming.
I typically have a relatively chill demeanor, but that is not to be confused for a hands off approach. I will absolutely be joining in any scavenger hunts, games, and dance parties that pop up.
I like to think one of my greatest strengths is the way I am able to keep things engaging and fun even when I have to get something done or maintain some structure.
