Worked at a daycare for two years, and now I’m currently working as an RA in a nursing home. Last summer I babysat two kids 3-4 days each week. Made meals for them, did art projects, played games, and took them to the fair, visited my family farm a few times, and took them to the pool occasionally.

Hello! I am a 22-year-old graduate from the University of Iowa, currently working in Dubuque. I have a strong background in childcare, having grown up in a daycare environment owned by my mother. This experience provided me with valuable exposure to caring for and entertaining children of various ages, equipping me with the skills to attend to their needs and ensure their well-being. During my time at Iowa, I babysat for three families, gaining hands-on experience with children of different ages. For one family, I cared for three kids aged 5, 3, and 1. For another family, I looked after two children aged 6 and 2. In the third family, I babysat three kids aged 7, 4, and 1. This experience further honed my ability to manage multiple children and cater to their individual needs. Although I don't hold current certifications in CPR or First Aid, I have six years of lifeguarding experience, during which I underwent comprehensive training and earned certifications. This demonstrates my commitment to safety and emergency response. My expertise in lifeguarding is transferrable, allowing me to effectively handle critical situations and prioritize the well-being of those under my care. Creating a secure and enjoyable environment for children is my passion. My upbringing around kids and extensive lifeguarding background have provided me with the necessary skills and knowledge to offer exceptional care. If you have any further inquiries or would like to learn more about my experiences, please feel free to ask!

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." Hi, I'm Becky! I have 10 years of experience with children 0-19 in academic, residential, and daily 9-5 capacities. I believe children can teach us as much as we teach them. I have been trained in first aid and CPR, Therapeutic Crisis Intervention, and the ARC model/approach (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency). My academic experience makes me an exemplary homework helper, and my residential experience has taught me the importance of positive "setting conditions" i.e., maintaining a clean and tidy space, providing nourishing food, engaging activities, etc. If you feel we may be a good match, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I look forward to learning more about you and your family! *Full resume available upon request*

Hi my name is Alberto Moreno I am a wrestler and freshman at the University of Dubuque. In my family of 11 with me being the 6th oldest having to take care of 5 younger siblings I have learned how to not only be patient with children but help them work things out on their own to build both confidence as-well as independence from a young age. Being able to watch someone grow as a person has always been something that brings me a lot of joy which makes me a very social person. I have no formal training but am very eager to learn and excel in all aspects, I can cook to the mastery of a college student, I am able to drive and am very sociable so i connect with a younger audience very well.
