I have six siblings, four of which are younger. I’m a creative and fun young hearted person who would love the opportunity to watch over anyone’s child who needs supervision, i do not mind doing activities that involve me getting more active such as going to parks, doing arts and crafts, and things like that. I have extensive experience with children, especially growing up with them. i am patient, and i am also naturally nurturing as well.
Hello! My name is Kierra and i am 21 years old. I currently work in a Autism clinic that ranges from 3-7 year olds. I enjoy working with kids and building a bond with them! I offer caregiver services, food, cleaning and pets! ( I really love pets especially cats). I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life due to my family lol. I’ve taken care of mostly all my little cousins since I was 13. Between diaper changing and feeding and bathing i have seen it all, from babies to senior citizens. ( my family owns a caregiving service!)
My name is Lungile and I am currently a kids caregiver. I have been working at my current job for the last 3 years. Before I started as a caregiver, I was studying a Social Dynamics. My current job includes responsibilities like cooking, doing admin work, playing and entertaining the kids. One of the kids I take care of also had special needs. I am very patient and kind. I love being active and creative. I have worked and volunteered at a children’s orphanage for many years.

I have a lot of siblings with disabilities so I really knoe how to work with them I myself actually have disabilities I'm dealing with myself. I really understand how disabilities can feel when you are trying to fit in. When I am a teacher I will have a teacher motto.
Hi! I am Alexandra. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Minnesota. I am studying elementary education and child development. I love working with kids! My dad is the youngest of nine, so babies and kids have always been a part of my life. For the past four summers, I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor with the City of St. Paul. Currently, I volunteer in the school at the Ronald McDonald House and in high school I was a volunteer tutor at a homeless shelter, so I have lots of experience with homework help! I am also a huge animal lover. I love doing arts and crafts, getting outside, and playing games with kids!

"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
