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.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy caring for others and providing peace of mind to families. Knowing that I can create a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment for someone while their loved ones are away is very rewarding. I also value the trust families place in me, and I take pride in being dependable and compassionate. I have nieces and nephews that I babysit all the time. I have a lot of younger cousins it’s just always been in me with working with kids.

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.

I'm andrea, I've been caring for children for many years. I live in Solon with my 2 guinea pigs Harry & GusGus. I have a two year associate degree in early childhood education. I work at a local hotel in Coralville. I’ve been in the area my whole life- started school at Penn elementary & ended up graduating high school from clear creek Amana- it was a lot smaller when I graduated. I love to go for walks, take your children to the pool, to the library, to the mall. I enjoy finding activities for children to create. Reading books, watching movies ( I understand some parents have rules about their kids and too much screen time) I'm available for date night sitting as well. I'm comfortable with all ages of young children. I'm comfortable with pets. I grew up with a variety of pets. Small house keeping tasks ( run the vacuum, start the dishwasher, dust) I can also drive kids to activities if need be, in your car or mine. Feel free to email me with further questions.

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!
