I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Hi! I’m Morgan. I’m 22 years old and I’m looking to be a babysitter. I have babysat kids before and have been told I’m very good with kids. My patience runs high so maybe that’s it. I love to play volleyball, sing, read books. My favorite singer is P!nk. I love pets (my favorite animal is a monkey) and I have 2 cats. I have 6 years of paid babysitting experience. I also have CPR certification and know basic first aid. I am willing to do light house keeping and simple meals (I’m not much of a cook). I have my own car so if there are activities, sports, or just a trip to the park, I can do that. My availability is very flexible right now as I am currently looking for a job. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi there! I am 20-years-old and am currently a student at Kirkwood College. I plan to transfer to the University of Iowa this spring to major in Art Education. This past summer, I worked as an assistant teacher for a youth ceramics class and had an absolute blast! I love working on creative projects with kids as a way to encourage them to express themselves. I am more than happy to help with homework, housework, and meal prep, too. I have been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Growing up my mom ran an in-home daycare and I was always eager to be her helping hand. I also have many younger cousins I have cared for and I spent my summers in high school as a nanny. I truly love connecting with the little ones and am a firm believer in letting kids be kids! I make it a priority to encourage imaginative play and hands-on activities as a fun alternative to screen time. I am happy to provide references upon request.

I love connecting with kids, brings me back to when I was that little. I have babysat kids since I was 14. Starting out with an infant and then babysitting toddlers, up to 8-9 year olds! I work in a hospital so I have good people skills, I feel I am good with communication. I have younger siblings so I am used to being around kids even at home. I have always loved making kids feel safe and for the most part being able to have fun while behaving!

Hi my name is Liyonne Nelson. I’m a 22 year old female. I honestly don’t have any professional experience in babysitting and caregiving, but I’m willing to learn. I have a baby myself, I’m kinda stuck at home and I could use some extra bucks.

Hi, I am Hailey Lawrence. I am 18 years old going to school for early childhood education. I enjoy babysitting because I raised my younger siblings and my younger cousins for 8 years of their lives. When I was 14 I started working at busy bee daycare while I would occasionally babysit my foster parents twins. I always enjoyed helping others and just being able to be fun and creative with the kids. I always have planned activities that I get approved to do by the parents.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.
