Hi, my name is Reese Burke. I am 19 years old, and I am currently in my sophomore year of college at Central College. I have babysat for family members, as well as family friends. I also worked for two families this past summer. I want to babysit because I love working with kids. I have worked at an after school daycare, and I spent my senior year of high school in an elementary classroom learning to work with kids. I am able to perform CPR, I learned in high school health class. And I have also worked with multiple children at once. I am comfortable working with children of any age!

I do understand that being in college while babysitting can be a challenge, but I believe I have good time management skills, and I can make it work!

Hi, my name is Bailey and I have a passion for caring for youth! From a young age I started doing volunteer babysitting at my church and loved it. When it was time for me to get my first job in high school I knew it needed to be with kids and began nannying. I later went on to work at a childcare center and soon became the leader of the site. My favorite part of working with youth is watching them learn independence in a loving and nurturing environment, and when the dialogue changes from “I need help with this” to “look what I can do now!” A Little About Me: I love being outside and working with my hands. In my free time you would see me with my friends and family or walking my dog. I love crafting and repurposing old items as well! My most recent hobby I picked up is crocheting! I can’t wait to get to know you and your kiddo(s)!!

I have 10 years of experience babysitting, 5 of those years I was in facilities. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as multiple other classes about childcare. I am energetic and always ready for something new!

I love being a sitter because caring for children feels meaningful to me, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe, understood, and supported. I have hands-on experience from working as a summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, balanced different ages and needs, and kept them engaged through daily activities. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and I’ve also helped families with routines, transportation, and general in-home support. I bring patience, warmth, and strong communication to every role, along with skills in multitasking, organizing schedules, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m attentive, gentle under pressure, reliable with transitions, and always focused on helping both children and parents feel supported.

Hi! My name is Savannah, I’m 18 and I grew up in a small town outside of Jefferson, IA. I have two younger siblings and I graduated class of 2025. I’ve worked in 3 different caregiver settings - my first one being in a daycare! I worked from 7:15a-12:40pm for almost a year, I was also getting school credits for it because the daycare was next to my school. I worked mainly in the toddler room - but also have experience with school age to newborn! I am also cpr certified! I worked in two assisted living facilities as well and gained lots of wisdom from my residents, but also got to connect with them and really got to know them!
