Hi! I’m Aondra, and I’ve been caring for children for over 5 years. I have experience with kids of all ages from infants to teens and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for every child I work with. I’m known for being reliable, friendly, and active. I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding bikes, and finding creative ways to keep kids entertained and learning. Whether it's helping with homework, preparing snacks, or just being a positive presence, I always bring patience and energy to every family I support. My schedule is very flexible—I’m available on weekdays and can work around your family’s needs. I'm comfortable with all age groups and can easily adapt to different routines and personalities. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have spent many years helping with my niece. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work with 3-6 and 7-12 year olds mostly. I grew up helping at camp with at risk kids, I am a success coach with those kids as well. As a success coach I work with kids who aren’t having the best of times.

I have been at my current job as an infant teacher for over 21 years. Before that I was a live in nanny on the East Coast for 10 years. I love children but infants are my favorites because I get to see a lot of their firsts like rolling over, crawling,etc. I get to help shape the person they will become. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and my job does background checks every couple of years on the employees.

Hello! My name is Chatian Banks. I am from Des Moines, IA. I recently graduated from Grambling State University. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology My passion for learning children's development and helping them solve the world around them resulted in my future career goal to be a Child Psychologist. I find joy in being around children. Their laughter softens the challenges life throws at me when I'm struggling. Children's personalities and curiosity keep me intrigued in how children learn, behave, and grow. I have been babysitting children for 12 years. I worked as an Assistant Teacher at Cadence Preschool Academy teaching children ranging from infants to 5 years old. My double major in Psychology and Sociology has given me the knowledge to focus on human interactions and human emotions which I emphasize when aiding children with their language, communication skills and emotions.

I began babysitting and childcare when I was 12years old. I have watched children both in clients homes and also at my church. I have provided care for up to 5 kids at one time by myself. I am certified in CPR, AED, and First aid for all ages. I am a mom of a spunky 3.5year old and I love to engage kids in activities and arts/crafts. I’m very active and enjoy going outside to the park anytime the weather allows. I love kids of all ages and I understand the challenges kids have when meeting someone new. I meet kids where they are! I have watched children from newborn to age 12 but I am comfortable helping older kids too. I do have a bachelors in business and HR management and enjoy helping kids with their homework as well.
