"My kids loved Grace. She somehow got them to do their school work (during the pandemic online schooling days, when they were in second and fourth grade) without having to yell at them. She made cupcakes with them and played in the back yard and did art and took them to parks when they were done with their work. They had a great time and looked forward to her coming over. They let me work from home without interruption, because they were so engaged with her. I thought it was a miracle. Strongly recommend hiring her. She was unfailingly kind and pleasant and helpful."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I grew up with twin brother who were size years younger than me, so I was taught how to take care of young children from a very young age. My mother also owned a daycare with ages from 6 months to 5th Graders that I helped out with into my Teen years. I currently substitute teach in an elementary school for a special needs classroom, and have nannied for a family before with a 2nd and 4th grader. I love caring for children and for the few years I wasn't working with them directly full time I also babysat for friends and family for ages 6 months to middle school.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Art, music, playing games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Having a healthy relationship with the children(and the parents!), and helping kids feel like they have a solid routine they can count on.

My experience with special needs children...

I have been a substitute for an elementary special needs classroom for about a year, and have nannied for children with behavioral issues as well

The most important part about being a nanny...

Raking leaves in the fall with kids and jumping in the piles!

Mario M. - Seeking Work in Minneapolis

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Minneapolis, MN: Mario M.

My name is Mario and I have a deep-seated passion for working with children, and my 4 years of prior experience in caring for them have only reinforced this love. There's something truly magical about being a part of a child's growth and development. I find immense joy in witnessing their curiosity, creativity, and resilience on a daily basis. It's incredibly rewarding to provide a safe and nurturing environment where kids can explore, learn, and thrive. My previous role involved not only ensuring their physical well-being but also fostering their emotional and cognitive development, which has left me with a profound sense of fulfillment. Working with children allows me to make a positive impact on their lives, and in return, their boundless energy and enthusiasm never fail to brighten my day.
Kari S. - Seeking Work in Minneapolis

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Minneapolis, MN: Kari S.

I have 7 plus years of experience working for 3 families as a nanny. 2 children started with me as babies and stayed with me until school age. I am available Mon - Saturday as early at 7:00 am and as late as 7:00 pm and I am willing to help with most requests.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful grown girls. I am enrolled online and currently taking early childhood classes along with a first aid class that includes certification for infants and children. I was a Sunday school teacher for the 3-7 yr olds for several years until I changed churches in 2020. I love being a young nana to a very active 8-year-old boy with some behavioral challenges, which he is learning to manage quite nicely.. Children are very special people and deserve to be raised by those who strive to understand their needs. My goal is to be the best caregiver I can be with continuing education classes and an open mind. I am a crafter, an animal lover and a non-smoker!
