As a nurturing caregiver with three years of paid experience, my passion is making a positive impact on the lives of young children. Growing up as the eldest in my family, childcare comes naturally to me. I'm a patient, friendly, and formal individual who communicates effectively with parents about their child's day and any issues that arise, following their preferred communication method. When caring for children, I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with them, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time and have experience with age groups ranging from premies to 12-year-old. I'm a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I hope to get to know your family and be a positive role model in your child's life.

Hi! My name is Tracy, and I truly love caring for little ones.

I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers because every day brings new milestones and sweet moments. My Experience I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and children with special needs (autism and sensory differences). I’m also a mom myself, so I understand the patience, safety, and attentiveness it takes to care for young kids.

My Skills & Training • CPR & First Aid certified • Nursing student with medical knowledge and strong caregiving skills • Experienced in special needs care (autism, sensory support) • Comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light household help • Patient, responsible, and reliable I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.

I'm a parent myself (a toddler and a pre-schooler), so most of my experience is caring for them. I recently began working in before and after school child care in Iowa (where I got all my necessary certificates to work with children), but the pay and hours are inconsistent. I like being a child care provider because I find it easy and fulfilling. Children are just smaller people who are learning about and experience life and the world for the first time, so if you slow down and interact with them on their level and from their perspective they're pretty easy to get along with. My goal in pursuing jobs like this is to find more financial stability, but still have time to be present for my children's childhoods.

I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with experience teaching and working closely with children and youth. At Bethel United Methodist Church in Moline, Illinois, I have been leading Bible study sessions and creating engaging, age-appropriate lessons that help children learn in a fun and meaningful way. This experience has strengthened my ability to connect with kids, encourage curiosity, and adapt lessons to different learning styles. Beyond teaching, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, and communication—qualities that naturally carry over into childcare. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I also enjoy incorporating creative activities, crafts, and stories to keep children engaged and happy. Families can trust me to be dependable, caring, and attentive to their children’s needs. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and creating positive experiences that help them feel valued and cared for.
