Hi, my name is Reese Burke. I am 18 years old, and I just recently finished my freshman year of college, and I am looking for a summer job. I have babysat for family members, as well as family friends. I want to babysit because I love working with kids, and with it being summer I am looking for a job where I can be outside. I have worked at an after school daycare, and I spent my senior year of high school in an elementary classroom because I love kids and would like to teach. I am able to perform CPR, I learned in high school health class. And I have also worked with multiple children at once. I am comfortable working with children of any age!

Suzanne C., Babysitter in Grimes, IA 50111 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been watching children in some fashion since I was 11 years old (26 years). I have been a nanny for a family in the past and it was a great experience. I have watched children from infancy into their teens and have no issues with watching multiple children at the same time. I am very organized and like to keep children occupied with activities with minimal screen time. I have two nieces and a nephew (all siblings) that I have watch since birth and still watch frequently. Their ages vary from 10 months to 7 years old. When I am watching them, I have one child home all day, one child home half days, and the eldest has school all day. This requires being able to keep the day organized and a good routine going.

Christiana J., Babysitter in Grimes, IA 50111 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Christiana but I go by Chrissy, a part-time babysitter with experience working at a curriculum-based early childhood school. I work daily with toddlers but care for children from newborn to Pre-K. I come from a big family and have helped raise many nieces, nephews, and cousins, which sparked my love for working with kids. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education and babysitting part-time while in school. I’m patient, reliable, and truly enjoy supporting families. I know how important it is for parents to take a break and feel confident their child is safe and cared for—that’s where I come in. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and am often told I have a natural gift with children. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months
