Hello! I am 20 years old, I am a responsible, fun-loving caregiver with a true passion for working with children. I have my own reliable car, I am CPR certified, and I am available Monday through Friday all day making me a flexible and dependable option for families in need of constant childcare. I have experience caring for all ages from infants to teens - and I have been an aunt since I was 9 years old, which sparked my love for nurturing and supporting kids as they grow. Over the years I have taken on the responsibilities that come with childcare including diaper changes, feeding, night time routines, creating engaging playtime, and ensuring children are safe and happy throughout the day. Parents have described me as creative, attentive, trustworthy, a great communicator, and reliable. I believe in balancing fun with structure. I also know how important it is to follow each family’s routines and values, and I always strive to be a supportive and positive presence in a child’s life. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted part of your family and I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi I’m Sullivan or Sully Reck, I’m an aspiring teacher from Marion, IA. Though I will be in the cedar falls area for the next two fall’s and springs. I love reading and all sorts of games whether that be sports, video games, or board/card games. I also like country, and pop music (both parents taste). I attend UNI but I support pretty much every basketball and football team the state’s major college’s. I have 4 younger cousin’s, and a younger brother I grew up being in charge of, and a grandparent’s sister’s grandchild I have babysit previously semi-regularly aged 3-6. I can reasonably handle multiple kids at a time and can supervise and help with all sorts of events. I have worked in the food service industry so cleaning and food prep are both skills I have picked up. I have a pretty flexible schedule both at school and during the summer but need at least a week’s warning in advance to guarantee availability. I also have a 6 seat car with space.

Hi! I’m Mo — a dependable, caring, and creative sitter you can trust. I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, curiosity, and imagination into the world — and I feel honored to help nurture that. Whether we’re reading a favorite book for the fifth time, doing a fun craft, or tackling homework together, I’m passionate about creating a safe, engaging space where children feel heard and supported. I have [insert number of years, e.g., 3+ years] of experience caring for children of various ages — from infants to preteens. I’ve worked with families as a part-time sitter, camp counselor, and even volunteered in youth programs, so I’m comfortable with everything from diaper changes to after-school routines. My background includes CPR/First Aid certification, strong communication skills, and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have experience supporting kids with special needs and can adapt quickly to different parenting styles and household expectations. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves what they do — I’d love to connect!
