I have always been a natural born care giver. Growing up with a brother nine years younger than myself in a single parent household, I took on a lot of responsibilities at a young age. I also babysat for a number of families in our neighborhood. Caring for my brother, making meals and helping out around the house. In my adult life I have worked as a full time nanny for a family with two young boys, an area that I was of course quite familiar to me. I have also been a step mother. I love kids, and although I don't have any of my own (yet!) I have enjoyed being a part of my niece's and nephew's lives and those of my friend's children. I am a very creative person. I love to learn and explore. I went to the University of Minnesota studying fine art. I later became a pastry chef. I have a passion for food and cooking. I love to teach and have fun. I think that learning should be fun! I am easy going. I love to get outside and explore nature. I am always there to lend a listening ear, a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. People have told me that I am a very kind, and insightful person. Honesty and values are very important to me and I take that very seriously. If you choose to hire me, I will hold your children accountable with kindness. I do not believe in yelling. In fact I very much dislike it. If I sound like a good fit for you and yours please get in contact. Thanks!
Hi, my name is Avery! I'm a freshman at the university of Minnesota. I am offering child care, pet and house sitting, and household services. I've been working with kids of all ages for the past 3 years. My experience includes babysitting, volunteering at elementary schools, and working summers at a daycare. I've been petsitting for the past 6 years and have a dog of my own back home.
Hello, my name is Thomas l. About me, I’m somewhat of an introvert. I keep to myself, I don’t indulge in too much social interaction (unless it’s with the right person/people that is), I’m just a homebody nowadays. Although I do enjoy outdoors from time to time. Many years ago in my youth, I have worked at a bunch of daycare settings before. I assist teachers into setting up activities for the kids, prepare nap times, keep a close watch on them while they play on playgrounds, go on field trips, and aid the kids with their daily tasks assigned by their teachers. as for pets, I have pets in the past and currently. used to have a dog, few rabbits, goldfishes, and three cats. Two whom are my grandmother’s pet from Phoenix, Arizona. She passed away two years ago. So her two male cats are in my family’s care. So taking care of house pets could be right up my alley. Also, if you need your house clean, I could be up for the task. I could bring my supplies from home or if you had some of your own, and I’ll get right to it. Overall, if anything comes up, I’ll let you know the second I do. Thank you so much for taking your time to read me.
Hi! My name is Jake and I attend the university of St. Thomas. I play wide receiver on the football team and I am involved in a few other clubs. I am a big people person and love to make people laugh. I have been a nanny for several years for kids of almost all ages. Growing up with two younger sisters and three younger boy cousins, I’ve gained a lot of experience and responsibilities taking care of them. I love to see kids thrive in school, sports, and other hobbies! I grew up with a chocolate lab so I am very used to being around/taking care of dogs. I am excited to meet you!
