Find experienced babysitters in Riverside, 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 have been babysitting for years. I currently work in adolescent psychology at the hospital, so if your child has been there within the past two years I will not be able to work with them to maintain privacy. I am certified in first aid and CPR. I work extensively with children with disabilities or autism. I like to keep the kids entertained with fun activities instead of screen time. I love animals and I am open to most everything.

I am great when it comes to kids. I have a huge family that is constantly having kids so I’m usually the one to babysit the others. I can cook,clean,change etc. Overall, I’d be honored to babysit any of your kids, I love them!

Hello my name is Katie Paul I’ve lived in Iowa city my whole life. I’ve had 11 yrs experience working with children from newborn to high school. I enjoy working with children. I’m currently working on my CDA.

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 been working in childcare since finishing college in 2020. Between 2022 and 2026, I was a lead teacher at a daycare and spent most of that time caring for 1-3 year olds, though I do have experience with older (and younger) children. I love working with kids! I enjoy helping children learn skills that are important for their development, but I also love getting to be creative and believe play is an important part of development.
