Hello! My name is Kara. I have a little 3 year old boy. I have 2 huskies and love spending time with with the family. I am from Minnesota and have grown to love the seasons( hahah especially now that I have huskies) We are always on the go and active. I know life gets crazy so I hope to alleviate some of the stress for families. I love forming connections with families in the community to bring that sense of community back. I am also a housekeeper and worked in Special Education for 15 years. I love helping people in anyway that I can. I grew up helping raise my nieces and nephews, as well as cousins. The pitter patter of little feet brings joy to my heart. I have worked with littles in elementary schools as well as adults in transition programs… and senior care as well. I currently work part time in a group home. I look forward to getting to know you!
Hello! My name is Bekah and I am a NICU nurse. My journey to nursing is rooted in my desire to care for others and integrate my background in sociology with hands-on work. I grew up caring for my siblings and cousins, always wanting to take part in things like diaper changes and bottle feeding, even when I was a bit too young. I am instinctively attuned to the needs of others which lends itself to my future career and to caregiving in general. I specialize in over night newborn care and being a “mother’s helper.” I can assist with feeding, lactation, sleep, and other newborn needs!
“Reliable and good with kiddos. Would recommend”
I have been babysitting for over 7 years working with children as young as 6 months up to age 10. I aspire to be a teacher and have received teacher training, so I know how to make learning fun and keep kids engaged. I love to sew and do arts and crafts, read, and play outdoors. I have a car for easy commutes and am very flexible to meet your childcare needs.
Hi! I'm a current Macalester College Spanish and Sociology major who is passionate about working with kids. I have 4 years of experience as a summer camp counselor and one year of experience in after-school programming. My background has given me extensive practice coming up with engaging, creative, and educational activities for kids of all ages. I have received extensive safety and childcare training, including CPR and First Aid. I love cooking and baking and know how to teach age-appropriate food-safety skills to cook with kids. I grew up with food allergies, so I know how to take the best precautions to help kids with dietary restrictions. Another passion of mine is helping kids explore the world outside-- this fall, I'm taking a course specifically on Outdoor Environmental Education, so I have lots of new activities to try out!
Hi! My name is Faye. I have a degree in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Oak Hills Christian College. I have three children of my own, two of which are on the spectrum. I am accustomed to helping children work through their troubles. Sometimes, we all have big feelings! I most enjoy taking care of babies and toddlers. I love animals, having a dog and three cats myself. I am comfortable with animals inside or outside. In particular, I have experience with: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, tortoises, goats and chickens. I am happy to learn more! My main interests are reading, music and herbalism. I like fantasy and sci-fi( I'm a big nerd), and will gladly discuss Tolkien at length. I always have a little garden for my kids to free range for snacks, and will often dry herbs for food or salves. I have been a stay-at-home mom for several years because of our children's needs. They are getting older now, so I would like to branch out again. Please let me know if my experience meets your needs. I hope that we can be a blessing to eachother! Faye W.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
