Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have spent many years helping with my niece. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work with 3-6 and 7-12 year olds mostly. I grew up helping at camp with at risk kids, I am a success coach with those kids as well. As a success coach I work with kids who aren’t having the best of times. I help them understand why they are upset and how we can work through this to have a better days. I am verified in mental health awareness for children. Running around and having a huge amount of energy is what I expect and love to have fun!

Hi all! I’m currently looking to hopefully help out a family in need of babysitting! I have plenty of experience with newborns all the way up to teenagers. I enjoy taking care of kids as well as taking them to activities (like the library or splash pad!). I do well with cooking, cleaning, and I am perfectly fine with animals as well. I have a fairly flexible schedule with weekend availability as needed. I hope I can see you soon!

Hello! My name is Chatian Banks. I am from Des Moines, IA. I recently graduated from Grambling State University. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology My passion for learning children's development and helping them solve the world around them resulted in my future career goal to be a Child Psychologist. I find joy in being around children. Their laughter softens the challenges life throws at me when I'm struggling. Children's personalities and curiosity keep me intrigued in how children learn, behave, and grow. I have been babysitting children for 12 years. I worked as an Assistant Teacher at Cadence Preschool Academy teaching children ranging from infants to 5 years old. My double major in Psychology and Sociology has given me the knowledge to focus on human interactions and human emotions which I emphasize when aiding children with their language, communication skills and emotions.
