With over 12 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and childcare professional, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I have also worked as a head preschool teacher and at an elementary school, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am very hands on and love to keep children engaged with creative activities, crafts, books, and games. I always bring along extra ideas and activities to suit each child’s age and interests. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. When I’m not caregiving I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling all over the world, playing tennis, and curling up to read a good book.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Emily as part of our family for over a year. She cared for our two children (that are now ages 3 & 5) with so much warmth, sense of fun, genuine enthusiasm, and professionalism. She was always punctual, extremely reliable, and quick to respond, which gave us peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how hands-on she was with our kids. She regularly came prepared with thoughtful activities like crafts, games, toys, and books. She put so much effort into to making each day fun and enriching. She wasn’t a person to just supervised, she got down on the floor and played with them, stayed active, and built a real connection with our children. Our kids absolutely adored her and we clearly see how much she cared for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, we would recommend her without hesitation.

Hello! My name is Chatian Banks. I am from Des Moines, IA. I recently graduated from Grambling State University. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology My passion for learning children's development and helping them solve the world around them resulted in my future career goal to be a Child Psychologist. I find joy in being around children. Their laughter softens the challenges life throws at me when I'm struggling. Children's personalities and curiosity keep me intrigued in how children learn, behave, and grow. I have been babysitting children for 12 years. I worked as an Assistant Teacher at Cadence Preschool Academy teaching children ranging from infants to 5 years old. My double major in Psychology and Sociology has given me the knowledge to focus on human interactions and human emotions which I emphasize when aiding children with their language, communication skills and emotions.

I am a Drake Law School student with a passion for childcare. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a street where I was the oldest kid, so I was the neighborhood babysitter. This has continued into my teenage years, as I have been employed at the YMCA for over 3 years doing both the summer camp program and aftercare during the school year. I have experience with newborns to teenagers. I am first aid and CPR certified, and I have a car. I am well-versed in managing multiple kids (and multiple ages) at once. I pride myself on my ability to cook, help with homework, create (clean up), and play with all types of kids :)

Hello! My name is Candice, and caring for others has been my passion for most of my life. I have 6 years of professional experience as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and approximately 15–20 years of experience as a babysitter and caregiver. I am also a mother of three, with two teenagers and one elementary-school-aged child, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your children. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, loved, supported, and understood. I have experience caring for verbal and nonverbal children, children with autism, and children with behavioral challenges. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, compassion, encouragement, and care tailored to their individual needs. I have been a certified Medication Technician (Med Tech) for seven years and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has helped me develop strong caregiving, communication, safety awareness, and behavioral support skills. I strive to create a nurturing, positive, and comfortable environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. For me, caregiving is more than a job; it is something I genuinely love. My goal is to give every family peace of mind, knowing their children are in dependable, capable, and loving hands. I treat every child with the same patience, respect, and attention I would want someone to give my own children. ❤️

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.

I am a single mother of a daughter turning age 3 in May of 2026. I love being a mom, and have always wanted to work with children. I have taken two parenting classes to help in my ability to be a parent that has helped me to be a parent in numerous ways. I am Circle of Security trained, Love and Logic trained, and I am CPR as well as first aid trained. I have reliable transportation, I am prompt, and a fast learner to any children's needs. I was a stay at home mother for 15 months before I returned to the workforce, and I exclusively breastfed my daughter for those 15 months. I know what is entailed to protect children from potential hazards as I am also a mother. I have also under gone the Safe Care program. I also come from a large family of 5 child, and so I have been around children all of my life. I know how to meal prep, do housework, and I have very good scheduling as well as time management. Taking care of my daughter is what I do best, and I would love to help out a family to take care of their children as that allows me to take care of my daughter in unison with employment.
