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 helping my mom with the kids she took care of. Ive been volunteering at my church’s daycare since I was 13. I’ve also volunteered at a middle school and highschool when I was in junior and senior year. I had my first job at a daycare when I was 15, and I currently work with middle schoolers and high schoolers in a program.

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.

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!

Avamarie A., Child Care in Forest Lake, MN 55025 with 5 years of 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!

Rebecca N., Child Care in Forest Lake, MN 55025 with 15 years of paid experience

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.
