< 1 mi

I am a SAHM in the process of becoming a licensed daycare provider. I have recently completed all required training, and the license process can take anywhere from 30-90 days. Until then, I am able to care for ONE family until it is finalized. Are you that family?! A little about me: I have 2 sons, one is 7 and the other is 5 months old. My 7 year old is excited for new playmates! We also have 2 dogs who are very very friendly, however, they have a separate room that they will stay in most of the time during business hours. My husband is active duty in the army based out of West St. Paul. We have a nice, clean home in a nice neighborhood equipped with a basketball hoop, tire swing and plenty of space to run around. There is also a city park located just behind our house! Training: I am trained and certified in CPR, First AID, SUIDS/SIDS and Abusive Head Trauma. Meals: I provide healthy meals (breakfast/lunch) along with a snack during the day. As for infants requiring formula, cereal or other special jarred foods, parents are asked to provide that for their little ones. Hours of operation: I will be open from 7:00am - 4:30pm Monday through Friday School: Bus routes for Hill Top Elementary. I will provide excellent care and a loving environment for your child! I want to keep my daycare small by taking only up to 3 children so that your child gets the one on one attention he/she so very much deserves while also having interaction with my children and others that I take in! They will have music time, story time, outside play time, along with many toys and craft activities! I want this to be a rewarding experience for both your family and mine! I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

I am Parent Aware rated and continuing to always educate myself in child development. I am certified in infant/child CPR, First Aid, and SUID.

Thank you for considering me to be your nanny. I feel that my role as a nanny or babysitter is that of maintaining diligent watch over the children to ensure their safety and comfort, interacting with children in a way that creates a positive association with learning and looking for every opportunity to encourage learning and development, and supporting the family by assisting with toy organization, the kitchen and the laundry. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I care for children with a loving, responsible older-sister vibe. I genuinely love to hang out with children and listen to them, read books, sing, play catch and soccer outside, go for walks or to the park, have dance parties, draw pictures, and be silly. I have years of experience caring for infants and I bring an awareness of the first years' developmental milestones to my play and interaction with them. I am certified in First Aid, Infant/Child CPR, and SIDS/Abusive Head Trauma; I have had a three-hour training on car seat use and general safety practices for driving with children in the car and I have a perfect driving record. I have a car with a forward- or rear-facing car seat. I am a member of the International Nanny Association, and utilize their recommended practices. I am a member of DONA, a certifying Birth Doula and experienced as a Postpartum Doula as well. I have excellent, current references. Best wishes to you in your search! Elizabeth
