Find experienced child care providers in Amana, IA

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.

I just love being able to help anyone out that needs to help. I have over three years of experiencing babysitting. I also work in a healthcare setting and as a certified nursing assistant, so I am certified, and I feel like I do have experience of taking care of other people in the best way.

For 10 years, I’ve been the built-in babysitter, backseat therapist, and go-to role model—earning my stripes in spilled juice, scraped knees, helping with everything from ABCs to algebra. I’ve learned how to balance patience with play and structure with silliness, all while showing up with love and reliability. What skills and training do you have? I’m currently attending Kirkwood Community College for nursing and have completed my first year, which included courses in anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and developmental psychology. This academic foundation gives me a deeper understanding of child development and overall wellness. I’m also a certified CNA with clinical training in patient care and emergency procedures like the Heimlich maneuver. I also am CPR certified!
