A little bit about me

My name is Sophia! I’m 15 years old. I know you’re probably thinking, “ Oh my gosh! Way too young.” But I can PROMISE you, I am very emotionally matured. I am the oldest of 6 kids. I’ve taken care of all those kids my whole life. We grew up with minimal income, so my parents worked a ton. I have a babysitting certification as well. I’m working on getting it updated. I cook and bake actually very well. I cook for my family at home. I am a Christian and I won’t force it on your children if you are uncomfortable, obviously. I play softball, I play guitar, and I also do nails! Yes like acrylic and such! I’m honestly so flexible with schedules. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of my softball schedule. I will be available most weekends though! Saturdays and Sundays are the best for me, otherwise during the summer I am available any day of the week! I get along very well with children and I actually have worked with special needs children as well.

More About Me

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

I’ve babysat for many families before. I also have 5 younger siblings I’ve taken care of my who life!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Baking and cooking, writing and reading stories, talking about god (obviously only if the parent allows), games, and cleaning up…but fun!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Never EVER lay your hands on a child when they are disobeying. Always use your words and tell them to use theirs as well so they learn communication, not violence.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve cared for people with Down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One time I was caring for this kid, Grayson. And me and Grayson were baking cookies. I was teaching him how to measure ingredients and I gave him the salt and said, “Alright this is all you this time buddy!” He ended up pouring the entire box of salt into the bowl because he thought I gave him sugar. But I just didn’t have the heart to tell him what he had done. So we finished making the cookies. And still to this day he doesn’t want me to cook for him anymore because I make bad cookies! 😂

Autumn M. - Seeking Work in Buffalo

Babysitter Available in Buffalo, MN: Autumn M.

Hi! My name is Autumn, I am from Buffalo, and I am currently a senior in high school and will be graduating at the end of May. I love working with kids and being able to create genuine connections with them and have a good time. I like working with kids and plan to work with kids in my future career so it will be good experience as well. I am looking for some babysitting hours this summer before I go to college in the fall. Last summer I worked as a nanny for 3 kids aged 9, 12, and 15. I have also worked as a summer stretch church leader for middle schoolers the past three years, interacted with kids in a second grade classroom setting, watched my toddler cousin on multiple occasions, and sporadically babysit my neighbors kids. I am also a dog lover, so I am comfortable around dogs and it's always a perk to get to hang out with pets as well! I have my own car and I am comfortable transporting and getting us to wherever we need to be!

Shayla B. - Seeking Work in Buffalo

Full-Time Nanny Available in Buffalo, MN: Shayla B.

I would make a great nanny because of my extensive experience with children, my caring nature, and my ongoing education in healthcare. I've been babysitting since I was 10, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, safety, and how to create a nurturing environment for kids. Additionally, I have a 4-year-old brother, which has allowed me to develop hands-on experience in managing the needs of younger children, from feeding and playing to handling tantrums and bedtime routines. Currently, I’m on the journey to becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant, so I’m gaining valuable knowledge in health and wellness that would allow me to support a child’s physical and emotional well-being. My passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel loved makes me an ideal candidate for the role of a nanny.
