I have been babysitting for over 20 years and have watched children ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. I have worked in three different day cares, all in the infant room. I have also babysat for over 250 families. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, renewed February 2022. I have used this on one occasion to save a life. I have been vaccinated for covid in March and April 2021, and received a covid booster in November 2021. Please rest assured I will get a second covid booster as soon as available! I have also had a flu shot in September 2021, and a tdap in February 2022. I have come to believe that the core of child care is truly loving kids and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I learn something new from each child I have the privilege of babysitting, and most of all, I love getting the opportunity to nurture kids when they are young! I'm also actively involved in the Second City Acting program. I absolutely love engaging children in creative role-play! Finally, I also teach in the Northwestern Program for Gifted Students. I love making learning fun, and it is my dream to open an empowerment institute for kids one day. Please note I do not have after school availability at this time.

We were in town from Houston and lucky enough to find Aruna through sittercity. Our 9 year old daughter absolutely LOVED her. She is amazing. Instantly connected not only with our daughter, but we felt safe with her as well and were not even concerned. Aruna is a gem! If you are lucky enough to have Aruna with your child or children, you are the lucky one!

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Isabelle went above and beyond for us! Our son is autistic so we have never had a babysitter before and Isabelle was so great with him and our other children. She even put away the toys and did some cleaning after putting the kids to sleep.

Hello! I have 4 years of CNA experience ranging from hospital to nursing home. I enjoy taking care of people! I currently work at a nursing home as a CNA and I am taking my real estate classes. I just got back from Army Basic Training in August! I have my own car, I can cook, clean, change diapers and I'm CPR certified! I have 3 younger siblings as I am the oldest. I've lived in Iowa my entire life. I'm patient due to working with people in all types of conditions, and I love meeting new people! I pretty much have a wide range of availability!

I began babysitting for family friends when I was around 15 or 16 years old. During this time, I cared for children of various ages, including a child with special needs who was particularly energetic. This experience taught me patience and adaptability, as well as how to create a supportive and engaging environment for children. Later, I worked at a startup daycare where I cared for children age ranges from 6months-8years olds. My responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy snacks • Managing nap times • Organizing playtime and educational activities • Reading stories and engaging in fun activities • Building trust and connections with the children to help them feel comfortable and secure while their parents were away

I am looking for a nanny or babysitting position that is either full time, part time or one time because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families. I am dependable, patient, kind, hardworking and willing to assist with housekeeping, daily tasks, and creating a supportive environment for both children and parents. I have a reliable transportation and several years of babysitting experience caring for my nieces, nephew, and neighbor's children, as well as being a nanny last summer for my nieces and nephew. I enjoy building positive relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and entertained. what I love most about being a sitter is getting to know the children as well as creating a fun and comforting environment for them. Some more of my strengths include caring for babies and young children, bottle feeding, diaper changing, being a positive role model, bedtime, naps, and routine assistance, homework help, strong communication skills, spending time outdoors with them like going on walks, going to the park, playing games, and creating engaging activities that keep children active, happy and safe.
