Emily B., Babysitter in Norwalk, IA 50211 with 12 years of paid experience

With over 12 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and childcare professional, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I have also worked as a head preschool teacher and at an elementary school, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am very hands on and love to keep children engaged with creative activities, crafts, books, and games. I always bring along extra ideas and activities to suit each child’s age and interests. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. When I’m not caregiving I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling all over the world, playing tennis, and curling up to read a good book.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Emily as part of our family for over a year. She cared for our two children (that are now ages 3 & 5) with so much warmth, sense of fun, genuine enthusiasm, and professionalism. She was always punctual, extremely reliable, and quick to respond, which gave us peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how hands-on she was with our kids. She regularly came prepared with thoughtful activities like crafts, games, toys, and books. She put so much effort into to making each day fun and enriching. She wasn’t a person to just supervised, she got down on the floor and played with them, stayed active, and built a real connection with our children. Our kids absolutely adored her and we clearly see how much she cared for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, we would recommend her without hesitation.

Lynnsey L., Babysitter in Norwalk, IA 50211 with 6 years of paid experience

I’m 22 years old and have been working in childcare since I was 16. Before that, I used to babysit my siblings and the younger children of some close family friends. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I’m currently a lead teacher for the 2-year-old room at my center. I’m CPR and first aid certified, have completed the mandatory reporter training, and universal precautions training. I can assist with potty training, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and meal preparation. I enjoy planning and preparing age-appropriate crafts and activities to keep the children engaged when the weather permits us from going outside and burn off energy. From a young age, I’ve always wanted to work with young children and contribute to their learning and development.

Josie S., Babysitter in Norwalk, IA 50211 with 7 years of paid experience

I am a Drake Law School student with a passion for childcare. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a street where I was the oldest kid, so I was the neighborhood babysitter. This has continued into my teenage years, as I have been employed at the YMCA for over 3 years doing both the summer camp program and aftercare during the school year. I have experience with newborns to teenagers. I am first aid and CPR certified, and I have a car. I am well-versed in managing multiple kids (and multiple ages) at once. I pride myself on my ability to cook, help with homework, create (clean up), and play with all types of kids :)

Candice R., Babysitter in Norwalk, IA 50211 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Candice, and caring for others has been my passion for most of my life. I have 6 years of professional experience as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and approximately 15–20 years of experience as a babysitter and caregiver. I am also a mother of three, with two teenagers and one elementary-school-aged child, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your children. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, loved, supported, and understood. I have experience caring for verbal and nonverbal children, children with autism, and children with behavioral challenges. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, compassion, encouragement, and care tailored to their individual needs. I have been a certified Medication Technician (Med Tech) for seven years and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has helped me develop strong caregiving, communication, safety awareness, and behavioral support skills. I strive to create a nurturing, positive, and comfortable environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. For me, caregiving is more than a job; it is something I genuinely love. My goal is to give every family peace of mind, knowing their children are in dependable, capable, and loving hands. I treat every child with the same patience, respect, and attention I would want someone to give my own children. ❤️
