Find experienced babysitters in Runnells, IA

Hello! I'm a nurturing, patient, and dependable grandmother with a lifelong love for caring for children. I have many years of hands-on childcare experience, including nannying my grandchildren throughout most of their school years. This included trips to and from school, sports practice and events, doctor visits and homework, while preparing their meals and packing lunches, as needed. This has given me a strong understanding of children's routines, developmental needs, and the importance of providing a safe and comforting environment. I'm calm, loving, and attentive, and I enjoy supporting children through structured routines and day-to-day care. Now that my youngest is away at college, I miss all of this! I specialize in before and after school care, including transportation. Before school I can stay with your child until it's time to go to school, assisting them with getting ready for school, fixing their breakfast, and making sure they have everything they need for the day. After school I can stay with your child until you're home, providing snacks, meals and homework help, as needed. My goal is keeping your family's routine consistent just as if you were there yourself. I treat every child with the same kindness and patience I give to my own family. I spent two years as a middle school math teacher, many years as a math tutor and over 25 years in financial services with major companies. I would be honored to support your family with reliable care and a warm, home-like presence. I offer discounts for over 10 hours a week.

My name is Maia Kissell and I am currently a second year at Iowa State studying English and Secondary Education. I have been working with children since I was 14 years old as a babysitter, kids club attendant, and lifeguard. As a previous employee at Genesis Kids Club, I watched children of various ages, from infants to 14-year-olds. Most previously, I am employed seasonally with Des Moines Parks and Recreation as a Supervisor of Nahas Aquatic Center. I have been a lifeguard since I was 15 years old, was given the opportunity to head-guard 2 years ago, and was previously hired as a Supervisor last summer. In this position, I earned my first-aid and CPR certifications. I also previously learned my LGI (Lifeguard Instructor) certification, which allows me to teach these concepts to lifeguards in need. In this role, I worked with employees and patrons to create a safe and fun environment. I was able to build relationships with both parents and children to ensure they were safe. I also have taught swim lessons through this position for 4 years. I have taught many ages, and many levels, allowing me to also become close with parents. I am currently employed at Success Gymnastics Studio in Ames, where I teach Preschool-Kindergarten aged children gymnastics. This requires communication and proper knowledge of lesson planning with both students and parents. I am very organized, flexible, and also have a car.
