Hi! My name is Leilani and I currently study biology at ISU, I am in my 2nd year here too! I am very passionate about childcare and working with children. I'd like to think of myself as a fun and exciting babysitter which I think would be great with working with kids. I have 2 year of working with children at the YMCA in Des Moines, IA and volunteering at the botanical garden for the summer. My skills include organization, computational skills, attentiveness, time management. I have training in child services, enrichment training, first aid, CPR, nutrition and mandatory reporter.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and nurturing, and I know how to manage behavior in a positive and respectful way. I am a very out going and happy person. My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.

Hi, my name is Bailey and I have a passion for caring for youth! From a young age I started doing volunteer babysitting at my church and loved it. When it was time for me to get my first job in high school I knew it needed to be with kids and began nannying. I later went on to work at a childcare center and soon became the leader of the site. My favorite part of working with youth is watching them learn independence in a loving and nurturing environment, and when the dialogue changes from “I need help with this” to “look what I can do now!” A Little About Me: I love being outside and working with my hands. In my free time you would see me with my friends and family or walking my dog. I love crafting and repurposing old items as well! My most recent hobby I picked up is crocheting! I can’t wait to get to know you and your kiddo(s)!!
