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 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.

Hi my name is Addy! I started babysitting when I was 12 and since then have worked at a daycare for 3 years as well as a children’s play center for 3 years as well! I’ve worked with all ages but at the daycare I mainly worked with infants, toddlers and two year old! I’m CPR certified and trained in first aid! I love giving kids the opportunity to have fun while still teaching them important age appropriate skills. The child’s safety is and will always be my top priority. If you are looking for someone reliable as well as kind and caring I would love and appreciate the opportunity to look after your kids!!

My name is Kathryn "Katie" Smith! I love working with kids of all ages. My best skill is being able to get on the children's level as a friend and teacher. My favorite activity to do with children is drawing or dancing! I believe the best way to teach kids is hand over hand actions and to hold them accountable without anger toward them.

Hi everyone! I’m a college student home for the summer and trying to find some work! I love kids – crafting, being outside, and laughing with them! I’ve helped out at vacation Bible school and Sunday kids volunteering for as long as I can remember, and did my senior year of high school. I worked part-time at a daycare. Earlier this summer I also worked as a substitute teacher from kindergarten to 12th grade. I have several trainings – CPR, blood-borne pathogens, abuse, background check!

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.
