Hi! I’m Morgan. I’m 22 years old and I’m looking to be a babysitter. I have babysat kids before and have been told I’m very good with kids. My patience runs high so maybe that’s it. I love to play volleyball, sing, read books. My favorite singer is P!nk. I love pets (my favorite animal is a monkey) and I have 2 cats. I have 6 years of paid babysitting experience. I also have CPR certification and know basic first aid. I am willing to do light house keeping and simple meals (I’m not much of a cook). I have my own car so if there are activities, sports, or just a trip to the park, I can do that. My availability is very flexible right now as I am currently looking for a job. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, I am Hailey Lawrence. I am 18 years old going to school for early childhood education. I enjoy babysitting because I raised my younger siblings and my younger cousins for 8 years of their lives. When I was 14 I started working at busy bee daycare while I would occasionally babysit my foster parents twins. I always enjoyed helping others and just being able to be fun and creative with the kids. I always have planned activities that I get approved to do by the parents.

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!

Hi! I’m Angelina, a college student currently working in the emergency department at Mercy Hospital. I’ve been babysitting for several years now and have experience with a wide range of ages—from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and my work at the hospital has made me confident in handling emergencies, staying calm under pressure, and making safety a priority in everything I do. In addition to my medical training, I love getting creative with kids—whether that’s doing crafts, coming up with fun games, or helping with homework. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can support your needs!

I have always had a natural connection with children and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. For about two to three years, I cared for my younger cousins, which deepened my passion for working with kids and engaging them in fun, creative, and meaningful activities. In addition to childcare, I take pride in helping others by assisting with household chores and contributing to a clean, organized environment. I find fulfillment in supporting families and making daily life a little easier for those around me.

Hi! I’m Mo — a dependable, caring, and creative sitter you can trust. I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and imagination into the world — and I feel honored to help nurture that. Whether we’re reading a favorite book for the fifth time, doing a fun craft, or tackling homework together, I’m passionate about creating a safe, engaging space where children feel heard and supported. I have [insert number of years, e.g., 3+ years] of experience caring for children of various ages — from infants to preteens. I’ve worked with families as a part-time sitter, camp counselor, and even volunteered in youth programs, so I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to after-school routines. My background includes CPR/First Aid certification, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have experience supporting kids with special needs and can adapt quickly to different parenting styles and household expectations. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves what they do — I’d love to connect!

Due to that I have taken multiple online courses about properly taking care of injuries/ emergencies. I have also had CPR training. WIth my current job I do cleaning at the end of each day and would happily help to keep your home clean while I am there. I have babysat in the past randomly or as a summer job. I am the oldest of seven kids (ages 0-17). My mom has owned a daycare my whole life, so I am very used to being around kids and helping out. Considering my experience I would feel comfortable working with ages newborn- 12 years old. I hope you consider me to help take care of your child( or children)!
