I am a recent grad from Wayzata High School; incoming freshman at Macalester College! My caregiving journey began through teaching Indian dance to children between the ages of 4 and 13. This role allowed me to create a fun, culturally rich, and structured environment where kids could build confidence, and learn discipline through movement. It also gave me insight into how different children learn and communicate, helping me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. In addition to my teaching background, I’ve worked with children from infancy to 14 years old in a domestic violence shelter, where I provided supervision and emotional support. This experience required a high level of sensitivity, flexibility, and calmness, as I supported kids navigating trauma and transitions. I learned how to quickly build trust, create a sense of safety, and meet children’s emotional and physical needs in a thoughtful, nonjudgmental way. I’m experienced in managing multiple children at once, maintaining routines, and responding to a wide range of behaviors with empathy and consistency. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, helping with homework, or just being a comforting presence, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine love for helping others. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks, organization, or pet care as needed. My goal in every caregiving role is to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment for children. I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with kids, and would love to use my academic and artistic experiences to go through some engaging activities with them!

Hello! I am a healthcare worker with over 10 years of experience as a nurse assistant. I have worked on many different floors with many different patient populations. The most recent position I held and my all time favorite was working on a PostPartum floor for 4 years taking care of new moms and their newborn babies. I absolutely adored taking care of the precious little babies and being involved in such a beautiful and important time in so many people's lives. In the past I have also done home health for an older child with cerebral palsy, as well as babysat and helped raise children from ages 2 all the way to 13. In my personal life I love hiking and camping, but I also enjoy playing videogames and have a fairly indepth knowledge on how online gaming and how to apply proper parental controls and limits so children can safely navigate in that environment (if that is allowed within your parenting style). I also am comfortable with most pets and animals and providing their basic cares.

My name is Kris and I am a very experienced care giver. I have raised three children and have just become a grandmother. I have worked in childcare centers, group homes for adults, teens and seniors. I have done PCA work as well. I am in between jobs now so thought this would be something to keep me busy. I am a pet owner (2 dogs 1 cat) and a home owner. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home to care for it and your loved ones. Maybe I will be a good fit for you and your family.

Hi there! I have been taking care of folks my whole life. I began with helping my aunt through her cancer treatments. As an adult, I've worked as a Nanny teaching French, a babysitter for multiple children and most notably Adult Foster Care & Nursing Homes. I'm passionate about helping kids in particular. I love to see them grow and learn about the world, a child's curiosity is unmatched! I'm well versed in a variety of abilities and disabilities, as well as kids just being kids. I'd be honored to help your family <3
