With a strong foundation in service and dedication, I am a compassionate caregiver and military veteran, bringing a wealth of experience and a nurturing spirit to every role I undertake. With a Bachelor’s degree, I combine academic knowledge with practical skills honed through diverse experiences, including my time as a para-professional within the school district. In this role, I have provided support to young children and those with special needs, ensuring an inclusive and enriching environment for all. As a proud dog mom to a 14-year-old pup, I understand the importance of companionship and empathy, qualities that translate seamlessly into my caregiving approach. My professional background as a kitchen staff member at a Girl Scout camp has further developed my ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, catering to the needs of children and fostering their growth through engaging activities. Additionally, my passion for gardening reflects my nurturing nature and commitment to fostering growth—both in plants and in the lives of those I care for. I am dedicated to providing high-quality care, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered. My unique blend of military discipline, educational experience, and a heartfelt commitment to service, I am not just a caregiver but a steadfast advocate for the well-being of those I serve.
Hi, my name is Princess! I recently graduated from Augsburg University with a Biopsychology Pre-Med degree. I currently work at Children’s Minnesota as a Genetics Clinic Assistant and have experience in childcare, tutoring, after-school programs, and senior care. I’m certified in BLS and enjoy helping people of all ages feel safe, supported, and confident. I offer child care, tutoring/homework help, after-school care, senior care, and household assistance. I can also help with light cooking, errands, and companionship. I have two years of experience working with toddlers, preschoolers in daycare, and have also worked as a middle school tutor and after-school teacher. I enjoy fostering learning, confidence, and creativity through crafts, reading, games, and educational activities. I have experience caring for family members and assisting seniors with daily routines, companionship, and household support. I enjoy making a positive difference in their day and creating a safe and welcoming environment. I am BLS certified and have professional experience in child care, tutoring, and clinical support. I am allergic to cats and dogs
Hello! My name is Grace and I'm a student at the University of Minnesota! I work with kids for my university job and am frequently responsible for their care. In high school I also babysat for as young as 3 years old around my community. I am a good cook, love to hang out and play games, and have animals at my apartment so I'm more than comfortable with a few furry friends :)
I have been babysitting/nannying since I was 13 years old (so decades at this point!). I am a classroom teacher (certified in EBD, DD, and SLD) and have taught all grade levels for over 14 years. I also taught K-5 gym and yoga for 4 years. I love playing with kids, being silly, singing, dancing, and spending time outside. I love cartoons, toys...and well, I'm a kid at heart! My priority is your child's well-being and safety. I have cat and dog sit and have spent considerable time with seniors either through social events or teaching yoga.
Hi I’m Katy ! I’m a full time flight attendant part time baby sitter and pet sitter as well. I adore kids they tend to be my favorite passengers on the plane and I love to help out family’s when I can! I was a nanny in high school for a couple families as well as a regular babysitter for others and I wanted to get back to it!
“Katy was extremely kind and took great care of my two kids. They played and she listened to them intently. When I got home my kids were so excited to tell me all about all the fun they had with her. She also updated me on how they were doing without me asking for it🩷 Thank you so much again!”
