Hello, my name is Brittany and I am 23 years old and am very interested in being your sitter. I am currently an executive director of a daycare where I run and take care of all the daycare business! I have 10 years of experience as a babysitter for children newborn through the 8th grade. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also am certified in CPR, First Aid, and many more! I am very loving, patient, and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. I just graduated college with a major in Elementary Education and have been subbed in many grade levels to continue building my love and involvement with children. My babysitting skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly nature, position me to excel in this role. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss my qualifications in more detail. Thank you very much, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

As a young child my mom did income daycare, so I grew up helping out with it. As well as helping raise my younger sister, after my mom passed away. I've continued to babysit when need be for neighbors, friends, family, and other children. I have been babysitting for at least 10 years, and have nannied for 3. lI've watched children of all ages, and feel extremely comfortable with them all. I've recently been watching a 3 year old and an infant, or an 8 and 10 year old. I've done many things with the children, making any meals, taking them to the pool, walks, the park, naps and bedtimes. I'm very artsy and enjoy doing crafts. I also love the outdoors, and would rather be outside then inside. I have no issues with any pets. I'm CPR certified, and can handle any situation comfortably. I do have my own car and am willing to take car of any drop offs or pick ups as needed. I am opened to anything! I also have a 6 month old that I would like to be able to tag along with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a pre-nursing student currently working part time as a registered behavioral technician with kids who have autism. My 8 years of babysitting experience has provided me a plethora of skills (meal prep, diaper changes, calming strategies) and being CPR + first aid certified has only enriched my ability to provide quality care to youth. I have extensive experience with children of all ages including those with special needs. I have my own car, I'm patient, creative, and enjoy building connections with kids, and I'm comfortable with all personalities and age groups. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!

Hi, my name is Reese Burke. I am 19 years old, and I am currently in my sophomore year of college at Central College. I have babysat for family members, as well as family friends. I also worked for two families this past summer. I want to babysit because I love working with kids. I have worked at an after school daycare, and I spent my senior year of high school in an elementary classroom learning to work with kids. I am able to perform CPR, I learned in high school health class. And I have also worked with multiple children at once. I am comfortable working with children of any age! The hours that best work for me right now, are any times after 3:30pm any day of the week, as well as any time before 11am on M/W/F. 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!

I raised my son and 2 daughters. I’m semi retired and have 7 grandchildren and a great granddaughter. My two grandsons are here, in West Des Moines. I spent the last 9 yrs watching them, while their parents worked. Before that I worked in social work and helped with my grandson and 2 granddaughters in TX for 9 yrs. I love staying active with them, hiking and playgrounds. I have a BA degree from William Penn Univ., Oskaloosa, IA.

I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals of all ages, with a primary focus on infants and toddlers. I am energetic, patient, organized, and have excellent communication skills. Throughout my career, I have worked as a private nanny, operated my own home daycare, and worked in a child development center on a military base. Most recently, I worked for MercyOne as a Family Support Worker, providing home visits to families with children from infancy through age five. I also love animals and am happy to assist with light household duties. I am available for occasional evenings and weekends. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and traveling.

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.

Hi there, currently I am a student a dmacc. I’m majoring in biology hoping to be a pediatrician in my upcoming years. I am the oldest sibling of six, four on my mom’s and two on my dad’s so I’m pretty used to looking after children

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!

I have years of hands-on babysitting experience and have been caring for my younger sister since she was very young—she’s now 12. I’ve also babysat many other children of different ages, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities, routines, and situations. I’m patient, responsible, and calm under pressure, and I always make sure kids feel safe, happy, and cared for. I genuinely love working with children and take pride in being someone parents can trust.
