Gina is a great sitter who really engages with the kids. She likes to play games and involve the kids in things instead of just watching tv or playing video games. We have been very happy with Gina watching our boys and certainly plan to continue using her.

Isabelle M., Child Care in Central City, IA 52214 with 13 years of paid experience

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.

Isabelle went above and beyond for us! Our son is autistic so we have never had a babysitter before and Isabelle was so great with him and our other children. She even put away the toys and did some cleaning after putting the kids to sleep.

Ashley M., Child Care in Central City, IA 52214 with 1 year of paid experience

I am a in search for a new beginning, I love taking care of my fur babies as well as others. I on occasion babysit a family friends' granddaughter and used to babysit a friends' twins, as well as for my siblings at times. I am really good with children and animals i am very attentive to what their needs may be. I have taken college courses in both psychology and developmental psychology, oral communications, first aid, and cpr class while pursuing career paths that I will continue to pursue on the side in the near future. In the meantime, I want to do something that I love doing, which is taking care of other people and animals. I love babysitting because I am excellent with children or caring for others. I'm very honest, dependable, empathetic, understanding, and patient, which are all good things to have when caring for anyone of any age. I look forward to hopefully meeting new people and providing dependable care for your families.

Bergen D., Child Care in Central City, IA 52214 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Bergen and I am 24 years old. I have experience with a wide variety of ages! While I was still in high school I would volunteer my free time helping out in a Preschool classroom because I love spending time with children and helping them grow. I have also taken an early childhood education college course and when I was in middle school I went through a babysitting training course. I also have a toddler of my own currently and would like to find opportunities where he could come with me! I believe my goofy and friendly personality makes it easy for children to feel comfortable with me and have fun, but I am also mature and responsible.

Hello, I’m Abbey! I’m looking to go back to hair school and am looking for a way to pay the bills with the time I have available. I don’t have much paid babysitting/nannying experience but I did spend the first 5 years of my nephews life taking care of him everyday! I also used to co-teach elementary art in highschool so I have quite a few arts and crafts up my sleeve! I love being outside and having fun! I hope you consider me to care for your kiddos. :)

I’m a loving and fun sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for children. I love dancing and think that it’s a great way to get children active and to build confidence and connections. As the oldest grandchild I’ve essentially raised every kid that came after me! I also have a few years of paid experience. I will have no issues getting along with and making the environment suitable and fun for your child!
