Hello, I am Wafaa. I am 20 years old. I have a 1 year old son and step kids. I obviously have taken care of a newborn and ages 3-4+. I have a sister I used to take care of when she was little. I love watching movies with my step daughter and my son. I love going on walks and to the indoor or outdoor parks!
Hello! I have over 20 years experience working with children in both childcare centers and home settings. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and 12 units of child development coursework, as well as literacy courses. I am also a mother of 2 daughters ages 12 and 2! I LOVE all animals and currently have 2 dogs. I am easy going but structured and organized. I absolutely love spending my time with wonderous children ...and believe that there's nothing more precious in this life than a baby who's learning to crawl (and walk). Although, I recognize and appreciate the lil quirks that come with each stage of development.
Hi, my name is Martina. I graduated with an AA in social and behavioral science. Most of the classes I took emphasize on behavior of baby to children. I have mostly work at daycare. I have two year working experience in a daycare that accepts children from six week old to twelve years old, which was a daycare that work with Hennepin county human service. Before working there I help my mother taking care of foster kids. They help me learn how to approach kids depending on their personality because of certain circumstances. I am willing to house sit. I have only have done it once but willing to do it again. I also offer housecleaning, dog sitter. I don't have a car but that has not stop me in going to where I need to go. I am always on time.
I'm Tanya, a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth with hands-on experience caring for my younger siblings and kids of close family friends. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely love making kids feel comfortable and having fun. I'm good with all ages, can help with homework or any learning based tasks, and I'm always down to make snacks or a simple meal while I'm there. I'm also totally comfortable and willing to take care of pets. I love kids and am simply looking for opportunities to do what I enjoy and make busy families lives a little easier.
My name is Clare and I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a passion for working with children! I currently work for Children’s Minnesota but would love the opportunity to spend time babysitting and helping families in my community in my spare time. I am hard-working, creative, playful, and have extensive experience with children both professionally and personally. Originally from Colorado, I love spending time adventuring in the outdoors. I live with my husband in Minneapolis where we enjoy live music, hiking, skiing, and time with family.
