Hi there! I’m Darla, and childcare has been a meaningful part of my life over the past few years. I’ve had the joy of working with several wonderful families in Colorado, providing dependable and caring support for kids ranging from toddlers to preteens. From helping with homework and prepping meals to keeping routines on track and planning fun activities, I love being someone both kids and parents can count on. Before moving to Minnesota, I had the privilege of building close relationships with a few regular families, and it was truly bittersweet to say goodbye. While I was sad to leave them, I’m also excited for the opportunity to meet new families and create new connections here. In addition to my childcare background, I’ve worked as a caregiver for seniors and ran my own animal and property care business, so I’m no stranger to responsibility, flexibility, and adapting to different Read more household needs. I also have basic first aid training, a clean background, and reliable transportation. I’m currently pursuing my associate degree in Business online, which allows me to keep a flexible schedule. I take pride in being kind, dependable, and genuinely caring—and I’d love the chance to support your family however I can.
