Kennedy helped us out last minute and the children were sad when she left. She was prompt, communicative and went above and beyond looking out for our 1 and 4 year old. Highly recommend!

I have been providing care as a 'date night' sitter for over 15 years. I currently own an in-home daycare which has been in operation for 7 years now. Prior to the home daycare I worked in the infant room at a local daycare facility. I am a first time mother of an almost 2 year old and loving every moment of it. Throughout all of my childcare experience I have cared for infants as young as a newborn and children as old as 8 years. I have cared for 7 infants (8 months to 15 months) at one time, my aid at the daycare facility wasn't being too helpful that day. I find I do best with the younger children, but I love children of all ages.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.
