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 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!

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.

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.
