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!

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 have always loved working with children and being around children. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, along with helping out with my younger brother as much as I could. As I got older, I always had jobs working with children. I worked as child care lead and a summer camp lead for children ages 4-12. I did that for 3 years. I nannied for a family for about 6 months before I had to move with two kids ages 6 and 14. I babysat for a family twice a week for over a year for two girls starting at 5 months old and 2 years old. I am Red Cross babysitting certified and pediatric and adult CPR and first aid certified. Now, I am currently a college student working towards being an Early Intervention Specialist, with ASL skill, to help children with language. I would love to be able to continue babysitting and working with children as much as I can.

Hello, I’m Katelyn! I have been nannying and babysitting for 10+ years. My favorite part of babysitting is getting to see the creativity and imagination in kids. I approach childcare with curiosity and patience, encouraging kids to explore and engage with the world. I used to teach ballet and choreograph musicals for grades K-12. I have also worked extensively with children in healthcare settings. I have my Master’s Degree in Psychology. In my free time, I like to go on hikes, bake, cook, attend live music, and read. I practice a vegan and gluten free lifestyle, but I am comfortable navigating other diets. I am a big animal person, but I am unfortunately allergic to cats. I am comfortable working in a home with pets.
