Sittercity helps Palo families find the best babysitters

I love being a sitter because I enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, and have handled everything from meal prep and homework help to bedtime routines and creative play. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, patient, dependable, and great at multitasking, with strong communication skills to keep parents informed and reassured.

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.

I am 19 years old looking for a nanny job starting around May 2021. (I currently have a wonderful job but want different hours). I worked at a learning center/daycare for almost 2 years and currently work at a different daycare that I’ve been at for about six months, i have worked with ages newborn- 6 years old. Due to that I have taken multiple online courses about properly taking care of injuries/ emergencies. I have also had CPR training. WIth my current job I do cleaning at the end of each day and would happily help to keep your home clean while I am there. I have babysat in the past randomly or as a summer job. I am the oldest of seven kids (ages 0-17). My mom has owned a daycare my whole life, so I am very used to being around kids and helping out. Considering my experience I would feel comfortable working with ages newborn- 12 years old. I hope you consider me to help take care of your child( or children)!

Hi! I’m Angelina, a college student currently working in the emergency department at Mercy Hospital. I’ve been babysitting for several years now and have experience with a wide range of ages—from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids.

I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can support your needs!
