Hi! My name is JaWanda. I am 31 years old! I live in the twin cities and work as a social worker for the county. Since the age of 18 I have always worked with children in some capacities! This includes working at a child care center for 5 years. I have also nannied, and have some some work in community centers with youth. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I enjoy forming great working relationships with the families I serve. I am dependable, honest and compassionate about the work I do. I look forward to meeting you ! Please feel to reach out with any questions. Open to all kinds of work. But would prefer a consistent schedule.
Hi! I’m a university student studying biochemistry with minors in child psychology and pharmacology. I grew up in a big family and helped care for several of my younger siblings, and more recently I cared for my newborn niece while my sister started nursing school. I’m BLS certified, patient, and dependable, and I love keeping kids engaged with crafts, reading, outdoor play, and fun activities. I’m comfortable with children of all ages and happy to help create a safe, positive environment for them to learn and have fun.
Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.
“Liz has been watching our dogs whenever we travel for the past 10 years! She takes incredible care of our pups, and has had them at all different age ranges - including puppy time frame (<18 months) all the way to a senior dog (14+) that needed lots of special care and medication. They are always happy, healthy, and (most importantly) tuckered out anytime they return home from a visit with their “Auntie Liz”! If you’re looking for an EXCELLENT pet sitter who takes incredible care of any animal she comes across, look no further! <3”
Welcome to my profile! Over the years, I have gained invaluable experience in various fields, including tutoring for three years and working with people with disabilities for four years. As a former community mental health worker, I deeply value the importance of providing the best care possible. I believe that every child deserves to be nurtured in an environment that encourages their growth and self-expression. With my energetic nature and creativity, I love coming up with engaging games and activities to keep those I work with engaged. I am in my final year of completing my undergraduate in youth studies. I am committed to understanding the unique needs and challenges young people face. I am excited to share my knowledge and support their journey. In pursuit of furthering my impact, I am attending a master program next summer, working towards becoming a high school social studies teacher. If you're seeking a babysitter who embodies compassion, enthusiasm, and a dedication to creating a safe and inclusive space, please reach out!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
