Find experienced babysitters in Kalona, IA

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.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can learn and feel comfortable. I have experience working with children as a Teacher Assistant, where I supported daily routines, planned activities, and provided individualized care, along with additional experience coordinating and supervising groups in community settings. I bring strong organizational, communication, and multitasking skills, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with childcare training in Iowa. I’m also fluent in French and Lingala, which helps me connect with diverse families, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive.

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
