I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Hello, my name is Fatuma. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to make a positive impact in a child's life while offering parents some much-needed peace of mind. It's rewarding to watch kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I enjoy the creativity involved in planning activities, whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or helping with homework. There's something special about building trust with both the kids and parents, knowing I can make their day a little easier and more enjoyable. I have 4 years of babysitting experience working with children of various ages, from infants to school-age kids. Over the years, I’ve gained skills in everything from creating fun and educational activities to handling bedtime routines, preparing snacks, and providing gentle discipline when necessary.

Hello, I've been caring for a variety of children for many years. I have over 12 years of experience including children of my own, elementary school teacher, at-home child care, summer camp counselor, working at a child care facility, and full time summer nanny. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. I graduated from the University of Central Missouri with a masters in Educational Technology. Looking for a few hours to yourself in the morning? Want to run errands by yourself or take your other children to appointments without a toddler in tow? Want to attend that workout class at the gym that doesn’t have childcare? Want a play buddy for your little one? Looking for part-time childcare that is flexible? If so, let’s chat! After teaching for 12 years, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom to raise our two sons. Now that our oldest is off to preschool for the day, our two year old is looking for a play buddy for a few hours in the morning and I’m looking for a way to continue my love of teaching young children. Days and times can be flexible, but mostly between the hours of 8:15am-1:00pm. Message me if you feel this would be a good fit for your family and we can discuss details and rates. Looking forward to meeting your family!
