I also worked for two families this past summer. I want to babysit because I love working with kids.

I do understand that being in college while babysitting can be a challenge, but I believe I have good time management skills, and I can make it work!

Hi! I’ve been caring for children for years — from babysitting nieces, nephews, and family friends to now being a proud mom of a teenager. I truly love spending time with kids and creating a safe, nurturing environment for them to learn, play, and feel comfortable. As a single mom, I understand how valuable trustworthy child care can be — especially when you need a well-deserved break or a night out. I’m available for date nights, last-minute evening or weekend care, and “me time” coverage. Let me give you the peace of mind you deserve knowing your children are in reliable and caring hands. When you take care of yourself, you’re at your best for your kids — and I’d love to help make that possible!

Hi! My name is Grace. I'm home from school throughout December and January! I swam competitively for 10 years and started teaching swim lessons at 14. While teaching lessons, I discovered I truly love creating bonds with my students and pushing them toward success. I still teach swim lessons at Imagine Swimming during the school year. I am CPR and lifeguard/first aid certified. I respond calmly and quickly in emergency situations. I am respectful, organized, proactive, and unafraid to ask questions. I love playing games and having fun with the children I teach. (But i'm firm and consistent when it comes to safety rules!) Outside of child care, I am a sophomore at NYU. I graduated from Waukee Northwest in 2024! I am studying Media, Culture, and Communication. I love movies! I enjoy video editing and video production.

My full name is Jordyn but I typically go by my nickname, Jordy. I grew up being the oldest in a house with 6+ kids! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I love kids and I love pets, I even have a couple kitties of my own. I always love doing crafts and fun things with the kiddos (keeping kids entertained is my specialty lol) but I will never turn down a good lazy day. I’m a pretty patient person and tantrums are no match for me! I also tend to get pretty board when there’s nothing to do, so when the kiddos are napping, expect the dishes to be done haha! I currently work part time at Kippy’s Place in Elkhart Iowa and I strictly work nights in the late week. Other than that, I’m pretty much available all the time!
