I am available for babysitting/nanny gigs. I have many years experience with children of all ages, specializing in preschool age. I will read to your child, work on colors, numbers, letters, and sing songs. I do homework, chores, games , etc with older children. I am a plugged in nanny, I don't just casually supervise unless this is specifically requested. I was a preschool teacher for 5 years, a certified EMT with a volunteer ambulance service for 4 years and was CPR certified for numerous years. I am a married mother of an adult daughter and grandma to 2 girls.

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.

Hi I’m Sullivan or Sully Reck, I’m an aspiring teacher from Marion, IA. Though I will be in the cedar falls area for the next two fall’s and springs. I love reading and all sorts of games whether that be sports, video games, or board/card games. I also like country, and pop music (both parents taste). I attend UNI but I support pretty much every basketball and football team the state’s major college’s. I have 4 younger cousin’s, and a younger brother I grew up being in charge of, and a grandparent’s sister’s grandchild I have babysit previously semi-regularly aged 3-6. I can reasonably handle multiple kids at a time and can supervise and help with all sorts of events. I have worked in the food service industry so cleaning and food prep are both skills I have picked up. I have a pretty flexible schedule both at school and during the summer but need at least a week’s warning in advance to guarantee availability. I also have a 6 seat car with space.

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!

Hello! I am 20 years old, I am a responsible, fun-loving caregiver with a true passion for working with children. I have my own reliable car, I am CPR certified, and I am available Monday through Friday all day making me a flexible and dependable option for families in need of constant childcare. I have experience caring for all ages from infants to teens - and I have been an aunt since I was 9 years old, which sparked my love for nurturing and supporting kids as they grow. Over the years I have taken on the responsibilities that come with childcare including diaper changes, feeding, night time routines, creating engaging playtime, and ensuring children are safe and happy throughout the day. Parents have described me as creative, attentive, trustworthy, a great communicator, and reliable. I believe in balancing fun with structure. I also know how important it is to follow each family’s routines and values, and I always strive to be a supportive and positive presence in a child’s life. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted part of your family and I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! I’m Mo — a dependable, caring, and creative sitter you can trust. I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and imagination into the world — and I feel honored to help nurture that. Whether we’re reading a favorite book for the fifth time, doing a fun craft, or tackling homework together, I’m passionate about creating a safe, engaging space where children feel heard and supported. I have [insert number of years, e.g., 3+ years] of experience caring for children of various ages — from infants to preteens. I’ve worked with families as a part-time sitter, camp counselor, and even volunteered in youth programs, so I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to after-school routines. My background includes CPR/First Aid certification, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have experience supporting kids with special needs and can adapt quickly to different parenting styles and household expectations. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves what they do — I’d love to connect!
