Hi, My name is Gina and I have over 30 years of child care experience. I have 3 grown sons of my own, I also have 6 grandchildren. I am a loving, caring, honest, responsible, dependable, organized and fun Grandma. I am very capable of providing quality care for your children. I have a good way with children and have excellent parenting skills. I love to play games, do arts & crafts, read story books, or anything your children would like to do. I will spend "Quality Time" with your children. I do occasional babysitting for a few families in the Cedar Rapids area and have excellent references. Please contact me for your next day or night out. Thank you for visiting my profile. Sincerely, Gina NOTE... I do not travel outside of my area. My area includes, Marion, Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha.

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Being part of a child’s day, whether through play, routines, or learning moments, is very rewarding for me, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive experience for both kids and parents. I worked at a daycare for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and supporting development through structured and unstructured activities. I am also currently a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant, which has given me even more experience working closely with children and supporting their individual needs. Through my daycare and pediatric OT experience, I have strong skills in child development, behavior support, communication, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am trained in working with children with a variety of needs, following routines, ensuring safety, and providing compassionate care. My background helps me bring a calm, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to every family I work with.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.

Currently I am a Registered Behavior Tech, I work with children with Autism in Colorado Springs. I have been working with children for two years now, and enjoy every moment. I am also CPR certified.
