About Josie

Experience: 15 yrs

Hello! I am moving to the area in May and looking for a new job. I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with my degree in early childhood education. The last four years I have a been a lead teacher in the 3-year-old room at a preschool/childcare center in the Minneapolis area. I have 10+ years experience babysitting/nannying, and other teaching experiences. I have always loved being around children and admiring the incredible way they interact with the world around them. My experiences as a teacher have allowed me to experience and navigate various differing social, emotional and developmental stages. I have immensely enjoyed getting to guide children along their unique paths of development. I want to facilitate an environment in which your kids feel safe, able to learn, have fun, and feel loved. My primary heart behind caregiving is to focus on your children and building a relationship with them and your family.

We found Josie on Care.com at a time when we were brand‑new parents and honestly a little nervous about trusting a stranger with our infant daughter. She’s our first, and we had all the normal reservations that come with that. It didn’t take long, though, for Josie to feel like family. She was our nanny for six months, but the impact she had on our daughter, and on us, will last a lifetime. We still talk about her all the time. In fact, we were recently getting a babysitter for the first time since Josie (someone not related to us), and the only thing that calmed our daughter was remembering Josie and talking about the things they used to do together. Josie just has a real, natural way with kids. She understood our daughter from day one and met her exactly where she was. Even in those early months, you could see how much she was learning and growing from their time together. We still keep in touch with Josie and share A's milestones with her, which I think says a lot about the kind of connection she builds with families. We trusted her completely, and we’d recommend her to any family looking for someone who is genuinely caring, dependable, and great with children of any age.
