Hello! My name is Perla, I am 20 currently in my second year of college studying nursing. I am very energetic, kind and I have a really positive attitude! I genuinely love caring and helping kids and people. I grew up taking care of my little sisters and Ive been volunteering at my church’s daycare since I was 13. I volunteered at a middle school after school program with kids during my junior and senior year of high school as well as volunteering in my own highschool programs as well. I got my first job working with prek-6th grade when I was 15. I now have been currently working for a few years with middle school and high schoolers in a program. I am a certified nurse assistant/aide and I also have an emergency medical responder certification. I am bilingual and speak fluent Spanish. I am so exited and ready to create a fun, safe and supportive environment! You can text me at 6125981701 if that’s easier too!!

Hello, My name is Janette Dukowitz and I am 24 years old. I recently completed my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and am in search of positions regarding this field but have found myself still thinking about what I would like to do. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified since June 2022 and am recently certified as an Emergency Medical Responder as of May 2023. I like to keep things tidy and would not mind doing chores, etc. I have enjoyed taking care of my baby niece Ivani and many of my cousin's children. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask away.

After my "journalism" career (too many ad agencies and a faltering book industry), I began working with children, the elderly, and pets. Being a trusted, reliable presence in their lives provides a life balance that I enjoy, and utilizing a care provider with a good attitude is beneficial for everyone involved. For a few years (until I broke my arm skiing on too much ice), I worked part-time as a CNA (Cert. Nursing Assistant), but began spending more time as a substitute for teachers and paraprofessionals in local schools. When Covid came along, I teamed up with a family who wanted to keep a close watch on safety for their premature baby. I was lucky to find a temporary position that allowed me to return to this family to care for their second child, who is now in pre-school (I still babysit on their "date nights." I have raised two sons, one diagnosed with ADHD and the other with Asperger Syndrome (a high-functioning form of autism), conditions that often swim in the same genetic pool. I played on their strengths when offering activity choices to them, and today they are both doing well as young adults following their own career paths. When my children were very young, I taught Sunday school to grade-school-aged children while running a licensed in-home childcare center. I love to do individual outdoor activities that match the weather, although walking my shared Corgi must happen regardless of temperature or precipitation. I tend to eat very well -- my goal is to retain as much of my physical, spiritual, and mental health as possible. I love sharing this knowledge with little ones and helping them to grow into who they were meant to become.

Hi families! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Diego, now living back at home in MN until grad school. I was a communication major but looking to go into Speech Pathology post-grad. I have 7 years of experience babysitting but also have a brother with pretty severe special needs, so I have always been a caretaker in some way! I love being interactive and doing fun activities. Can't wait to meet your family!

- 5 years paid experience

I recently moved to Hugo after living in South Dakota for many years. While there, I consistently babysat for a family with five children, ranging in age from a newborn to 10 years old, multiple times a week for four years. I’m currently a senior in high school and truly miss spending time caring for kids. I’m available Monday through Friday starting in the early afternoon (about noon), and I’m also free on weekends. While I’m not currently CPR certified, I’m more than willing to complete certification. I have experience with children of all ages, with a special love for babies and toddlers. I’m comfortable with meal preparation, diaper changes, homework help, and engaging kids in crafts and playtime. I’m excited to combine my creativity and love for children in a part-time nanny role or as a babysitter for your kiddos!

Avamarie has been an absolute gift to our family! She has cared for all of our children over the years and truly has become more like a big sister than a sitter. She is calm, steady, and incredibly patient, even in the middle of busy after-school transitions. She has handled school and daycare pick-ups, prepared snacks, helped with homework, and kept things running smoothly in our home. I always feel at ease knowing the kids are safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. What sets Avamarie apart is how engaged she is. She plays, listens, organizes activities, and meets each child where they are developmentally. She’s wonderful with all ages, but our younger girls especially adore her. The excitement when she walks through the door said everything. Avamarie brings warmth, reliability, and maturity beyond her years. Seriously! She has such a good soul! She has been a steady, positive influence in our children’s lives, and we are so grateful for the time we have with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I'm no stranger to working with kids. Though I only have one year of paid child care experience, I have been working with kids 5+ years. I currently work as a preschool assistant and last summer worked at a summer camp. These positions gave me training in first aid and CPR. In addition to that I volunteer at a Children's Hospital for the past 3 years. I don't have paid experience babysitting but I grew up taking care of my younger family members.
