Find local 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 have 2 sisters that I helped take care of all the time growing up and not only that but had a few babysitting jobs when I was in middle school and high school for friends of my parents. my mom had an in home daycare that I was around growing up for quite a while. I also had a job coaching gymnastics for about a year and I coached from 18 months to 6 year olds. I have a passion for children and want many of my own when my boyfriend and I get married. I am trained in CPR at the Cedar Rapids police station as part of my training (im a police cadet) but dont have an actual card that says im certified yet.

Hi there! My name is Katlyn and I’ve been living in the Iowa city area for about 6 years now. I have over 14 years of experience as I’ve been babysitting officially since I was 12 years old after taking a class through a local Boys and Girls Club and have experience with children as young as newborns all the way into their preteens. I grew up a military brat with 6 siblings, 4 of them being younger than me so I am very experienced taking care of and entertaining little ones! Throughout high school I regularly babysat for a family of 4 boys ages 2 months-7 years old and spent a summer with them as well before starting a new job at a nursing home. I would love to meet with you and answer any questions you may have!
