A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Rachael, I am from Wisconsin but have been a Minnesota transplant since this past summer :) I have experience nannying for two years with a family and their 1-2-year-old in Minneapolis and as a summer nanny for a 8 and 10-year-old with Type 1 diabetes. I also spent some summers working at a pet boarding facility. I am now an RN, which I love!

Outside of work, I like to spend time fishing with my partner, expanding my photography, learning about herbal remedies, hiking, reading and learning new things (most recently, crocheting and felting). Lately, I have missed working with kiddos and animals so thought I'd offer my time to some local families and furry friends!

I am happy to help once or on a recurring basis, just reach out and I'd love to chat more about what you're looking for!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Damaris. I am 16 years old, and I have always loved working with children. I know I am young but I’ve been caring for kids since I was a little kid, often helping out with family friends' children, and it’s something I truly enjoy.
I have a background in sports, including volleyball, basketball, and track. I also love arts and crafts—whether it’s a fun project with kids or something creative on my own.
In addition to childcare, I’m an animal lover and enjoy cooking, baking, and keeping things organized. I’d love the opportunity to help out in any way I can!
