Since 2017, I have gained extensive childcare experience caring for my five younger siblings from infancy through the pre-teen years. In the summer of 2025, I began gaining formal childcare experience, including part-time and occasional babysitting, four months as an after-school YMCA staff member, and six months as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. A little about me: I am an incoming college student (Fall 2026) with a passion for caring for children, and my dream career is to become a pediatrician. Some of my key characteristics include being energetic, playful, patient, responsible, and attentive.
I have done a variety of caregiving jobs from age 18 to currently 25. I have three years of professional experience on Wag! as an animal caregiver, caring for more than 400 pets. This includes walking, feeding, sitting or boarding, medication management, “aggressive” breeds, senior animals, and puppies. I currently take care of my own grandmother who is 83- experience extends to household care, deep cleaning, decluttering, trash hauling, heavy lifting, animal care in conjunction to senior care, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and administering medication. I have been a Nanny and a camp counselor lead for 4 seasons which includes care from ages 4-17, special needs (ASD), 24-hour care, enrichment activities, transportation, medication management, swimming lessons (lifeguard certified), and tutoring. I also have extensive experience in household care as my mother owns and operates a cleaning company- it’s in my blood! I have worked on projects that include hoarding, major reorganization, building small furniture, deep cleaning, extensive plant care, garden maintenance, and everyday upkeep. I prioritize functionality and sanitation.

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!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
