Elizabeth Foley
$10 per hour for 1 child

My name is Elizabeth. I'm a wife and mother of two boys (ages 17 and 19). I have 8 years of experience, as an education assistant, in both Milaca and Foley Elementary schools. There, I care for students with complex medical, developmental, emotional and educational needs. I'm currently looking to provide childcare from my home outside of Foley. I'm seeking an infant to care for. I will care for them like a family member. This means they will be interacting with my multi-generational family-comprised of myself, my wife, 17-year-old son, my mother and three child friendly pups. I am willing to discuss the hours care will be provided and to be flexible as I understand the value of family first. I will also need to have some flexibility at times. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Mackenzie Big Lake
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi- my name is Mackenzie and I’m looking for a family to care for! I have always loved babies ever since I was a little kid and knew I wanted to care for them someday. I have five siblings and two with disabilities. I have learned so much from my family and watching my siblings. I have plenty of years of experience between my family and babysitting on the side. I love all pets and have a cat of my own! I use to be a cleaner so I don’t mind doing any household chores that may be needed. I always tend to clean up regardless if asked of me or not. Thank you!

Hi! My name is Lucy and I am 19. I graduated with my AA degree from Crown College last year and currently work in healthcare with retired US veterans.

I am willing to do housework, meal prep, help with homework, and get children to-and-from daily activities if applicable. My schedule can be flexible, though I will need two weeks to communicate and coordinate any major changes with my other job. Thank you!
