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!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being someone families can trust. I find it rewarding to help kids feel safe, supported, and cared for while also having fun through games, crafts, reading, or quiet time. I have experience caring for children of various ages, following family routines, supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, and making sure kids are safe and engaged. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, with strong communication skills, and I handle situations calmly while respecting household rules. I take my responsibilities seriously and always aim to provide kind, consistent, and reliable care that gives parents peace of mind.

Jailyn  C., Babysitter in De Soto, IA 50069 with 6 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I value providing high-level, intentional care that supports both the child’s development and the family’s lifestyle. I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure, confident, and engaged. For me, being a nanny is not just childcare—it’s about becoming a trusted professional who contributes positively to a family’s daily flow and peace of mind. I have extensive professional experience working with children in both private childcare and structured behavioral settings. I’ve supported children of varying ages and needs, partnering closely with families to maintain routines, encourage emotional regulation, and foster healthy development. My background includes consistency, discretion, and adaptability—qualities that are especially important when supporting busy households. I bring a strong skill set in child development support, behavior management, emotional regulation, and routine-based care. With my training as a Registered Behavioral Technician, I am highly skilled in positive reinforcement, observation, and individualized support strategies. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to anticipate family needs, multitask efficiently, and maintain a polished, professional standard at all times.

Jordyn N., Babysitter in De Soto, IA 50069 with 5 years of paid experience

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!
