I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Why do you love being a sitter? I’ve always found purpose when it comes to caring for kids. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping them feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow. What experience do you have? Oldest of four with an unofficial PhD in conflict resolution, snack distribution, diaper duty, and last-minute science project rescues. For 10 years, I’ve been the built-in babysitter, backseat therapist, and go-to role model—earning my stripes in spilled juice, scraped knees, helping with everything from ABCs to algebra. I’ve learned how to balance patience with play and structure with silliness, all while showing up with love and reliability. What skills and training do you have? I’m currently attending Kirkwood Community College for nursing and have completed my first year, which included courses in anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and developmental psychology. This academic foundation gives me a deeper understanding of child development and overall wellness. I’m also a certified CNA with clinical training in patient care and emergency procedures like the Heimlich maneuver. I also am CPR certified!

Hello! Need a break? A date night? Errands? Light housekeeping? I can lend a hand. I’m a mom of 4 sons (3 are adults and 1 teen) and also have a granddaughter. So I am well explained with children. I’m also a part time RN with 26 years of nursing experience. I’m CPR certified. I have experience with newborns and worked in labor and delivery for 18 + years. I also worked in pediatrics. I’m looking for flexible hours to help with babysitting, pet sitting, caregiving, house sitting and more. My availability varies. I could help out on occasional Tuesdays/Thursdays, some weekends and evenings. I look forward to helping families in the Cedar Rapids area, but I’m willing to travel to smaller, surroundings towns as well. Please feel free to reach out if I can help you out!

Hello, I've been caring for a variety of children for many years. I have over 12 years of experience including children of my own, elementary school teacher, at-home child care, summer camp counselor, working at a child care facility, and full time summer nanny. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I graduated from the University of Central Missouri with a masters in Educational Technology. Looking for a few hours to yourself in the morning? Want to run errands by yourself or take your other children to appointments without a toddler in tow? Want to attend that workout class at the gym that doesn’t have childcare? Want a play buddy for your little one? Looking for part-time childcare that is flexible? If so, let’s chat! After teaching for 12 years, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom to raise our two sons. Now that our oldest is off to preschool for the day, our two year old is looking for a play buddy for a few hours in the morning and I’m looking for a way to continue my love of teaching young children. Days and times can be flexible, but mostly between the hours of 8:15am-1:00pm. Message me if you feel this would be a good fit for your family and we can discuss details and rates. Looking forward to meeting your family!
