I have a good way with children and have excellent parenting skills. I love to play games, do arts & crafts, read story books, or anything your children would like to do. I will spend "Quality Time" with your children. I do occasional babysitting for a few families in the Cedar Rapids area and have excellent references.

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Hi! My name is Hanna, I’m 24 year old who’s just looking for a job that I genuinely enjoy doing. I have background experience in babysitting from a 0 month - 2 year old. When I was in high school my sister got pregnant and i wanted to be the babysitter so I graduated high school early and took care of my niece from 8am until 8:30-9pm most nights every Monday-Friday. Still do this day my niece is now 6 and my other niece is 3.

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 fiance 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.

I’ve been babysitting off and on since I was in high school. I’m looking for part time work alongside my part time job this summer. I also just started substitute teaching the last few months of the school year.

Hi! I’m a calm, fun, and responsible caregiver with over 4 years of childcare experience. I’m comfortable caring for children from infants to school-age and truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I love doing engaging activities, encouraging learning through play, and spending time outdoors — especially park trips when available. I’m very patient and caring, and I always strive to create a positive, supportive experience for both children and parents. I’m happy to help with meal and snack prep, bedtime routines, homework, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, or long-term nanny positions, and I have open availability. I look forward to connecting with your family!

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Being part of a child’s day, whether through play, routines, or learning moments, is very rewarding for me, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive experience for both kids and parents. I worked at a daycare for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and supporting development through structured and unstructured activities. I am also currently a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant, which has given me even more experience working closely with children and supporting their individual needs. Through my daycare and pediatric OT experience, I have strong skills in child development, behavior support, communication, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am trained in working with children with a variety of needs, following routines, ensuring safety, and providing compassionate care. My background helps me bring a calm, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to every family I work with.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.

I took a first aid class for children and have been CPR certified from that same class as well as my high school and being a lifeguard. I have nannied and babysat since I was 13 years old. I have experience babysitting multiple children. I have a little bit of experience babysitting an infant but primarily toddlers and elementary school age children. I currently attend Kirkwood Community College and plan to be a physical therapist. I love being active and playing volleyball and other sports. I am looking for babysitting/ nannying jobs primarily in the late afternoon/ evening and am available to work no more that 3 days a week.

I currently work full time at the hospital, but I’m looking for a full time babysitting/nanny job as I will be starting school at Kirkwood in August and working at the hospital during that time is not ideal. I love working with kids, helping with day to day tasks, and playing with them!
