A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Lucy, and I have over 5 years of experience working with children in both home and classroom settings. I previously worked as a Montessori kindergarten teacher and now work as a nanny and homeschool educator, incorporating ABA-based strategies to support behavior and development.
I’m passionate about creating a calm, engaging environment where children can grow in confidence and independence. I enjoy planning hands-on activities, spending time outdoors, and supporting each child’s unique needs through a gentle and consistent approach.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and bring a positive, steady presence into every home. I value strong communication with families and aim to create a supportive, collaborative relationship.
I am currently seeking a long-term nanny position starting in September and would love to connect with a great family!

A little bit about me
Hey, I’m Eve! I’m a warm, patient, and creative caregiver who believes kids thrive when they’re treated with kindness, respect, and a little humor. I’ve worked with children in both structured programs and fun, high-energy settings, from leading after-school activities to encouraging kids to explore their interests in safe, engaging ways. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in after-school programs myself, and those experiences shaped the way I care for kids today. I remember what felt supportive as a child, and that perspective fuels my empathy and patience. I’ve learned that even when kids act in similar ways, every child needs a different approach when it comes to discipline and guidance. I’m confident in setting boundaries while keeping things lighthearted, and I focus on making sure children feel seen, supported, and respected. Outside of caregiving, I’m an athlete and coach, a baker, and a musician—so I bring plenty of energy, creativity, and fun into the day

Hi! I'm 17.6 years old and have over 7 years of experience caring for my siblings and younger relatives, from infancy to pre-teens. I'm confident in preparing meals, helping with schoolwork, and keeping kids entertained in fun and safe ways. I genuinely love working with children and hope to become a pediatrician in the future. Right now, I’m looking for weekend babysitting opportunities due to my school and sports schedule. I'd love the chance to support your family and care for your little ones!

A little bit about me
I have been working in child care for almost 5 years now! No specific age group other than this past year where I have been working as a preschool teacher to about 25 four year olds in my classroom. I am looking for change to hopefully be able to focus on less amount of children than 25 to help increase the amount that they can focus, grow, and learn. I have worked with all ages though! I live in Saint Paul and have car accessibility. I am always willing to do some cleaning as well. I am very flexible with my hours, any time works!
