Lilly M., Babysitter in Waterloo, IA 50701 with 0 years of paid experience

I am currently enrolled at Kirkwood Community College, where I am taking online courses to gain my associates degree in Liberal Arts. After Kirkwood I plan to go to a University like Northern Iowa or into an Occupational Therapy Assistant Program to hopefully work in the pediatric side of that field. I have many years of previous experience being a babysitter as I spent my summers throughout middle school and high school babysitting my three younger cousins. While babysitting, I love doing fun crafts with the children, coloring pictures, going on walks, traveling to the park to play, doing fun girly things like painting nails or playing dress up with them. I am very patient and comfortable working with children of all personalities and any age. I am great at problem solving and love to be around children and build strong connections with them. Also, I am currently working part-time at old navy so I am looking for another side job to keep me busy throughout the summer and upcoming school year! Feel free to reach out to be through my phone number or through my email, whichever works best for you! And lastly, I am willing to get CPR or First Aid certified too! Thanks!

I’m a college student, currently a freshman in UNI, I have multiple years of child care experience in high school, I would baby sit, and be apart of my schools local group that would go to surrounding elementary schools and play and watch kids. I love the outsides so don’t worry about any outside activities, I love cooking and baking, I have my own car, and I love to connect to the kids on their own level, whether thats with sports, movies, legos, or homework. I’m an animal lover, so I appreciate any pets you may have! Housekeeping is also a trait I am proud of, keeping everything tidy and well for when you come home. I can start work on Wednesdays and Friday's at 12:30, Mondays at 5:30 pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30.
