My name is Tanner Westmoreland and I am a senior in high school in Des Moines. I go to lincoln high school and last year i was able to take a class downtown at central campus that allowed me to job shadow kids and babies in the nicu/picu, on blank's floors, and also i got to do a little babysitting for my mom's friend for the first time as well. Im a "manly man" i guess, or so I thought. I am as mushy as it gets when it comes to kids and babies. I know exactly how to tend to crankiness, tiredness, excitedness and hyperactivity, i learned and love it all. Each child is different, almost like a puzzle (not to compare caring for children to games cause its definitely not always all fun and games). I love to get to know the kids, i love to see their Read more initial reactions to me and then the end result at the end of a long day of getting to know each other. I am CPR certified and as gentle and kind as it comes. I hope you're able to get ahold of me. I am unfortunately a summer athlete, as i play baseball for my school at the varsity level. My weekends are ALWAYS free though and i am willing to work with you and your families throughout the week to let you know my availability ahead of time!
