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 help them understand why they are upset and how we can work through this to have a better days. I am verified in mental health awareness for children. Running around and having a huge amount of energy is what I expect and love to have fun!

I am a single mother of a daughter turning age 3 in May of 2026. I love being a mom, and have always wanted to work with children. I have taken two parenting classes to help in my ability to be a parent that has helped me to be a parent in numerous ways. I am Circle of Security trained, Love and Logic trained, and I am CPR as well as first aid trained. I have reliable transportation, I am prompt, and a fast learner to any children's needs. I was a stay at home mother for 15 months before I returned to the workforce, and I exclusively breastfed my daughter for those 15 months. I know what is entailed to protect children from potential hazards as I am also a mother. I have also under gone the Safe Care program. I also come from a large family of 5 child, and so I have been around children all of my life. I know how to meal prep, do housework, and I have very good scheduling as well as time management. Taking care of my daughter is what I do best, and I would love to help out a family to take care of their children as that allows me to take care of my daughter in unison with employment.

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, and I am first aid and CPR certified. 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 :)

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.

I have been a nanny for a family for about 3 to 4 years now. But they are no longer needing my services since the kiddo is growing up. I also have occasionally babysat for other families too. And I grew up watching my siblings and my family’s kids also. I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, puzzles, etc. I am very patient and enjoy building connections with kids. I would love to help out and make it easier for families.

hi I’m Kaylee!! I am a graduate student at Iowa State University pursuing my masters degree to become a registered dietitian! Although I haven’t had much experience paid in childcare, I do come from a family of 5, 3 of which are younger than me. There is 18 years of age between me and the youngest so the range of experience spans from infants to teens. I am incredibly responsible, dependable, and caring! I am also First Aid/CPR/AED certified for pediatrics and adults. I love to connect with the people I babysit for and get to know them personally. Fostering connections and relationships is close to my heart and I love to see them grow!
