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.

I love being a sitter because I value providing high-level, intentional care that supports both the child’s development and the family’s lifestyle. I take pride in creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure, confident, and engaged. For me, being a nanny is not just childcare—it’s about becoming a trusted professional who contributes positively to a family’s daily flow and peace of mind. I have extensive professional experience working with children in both private childcare and structured behavioral settings. I’ve supported children of varying ages and needs, partnering closely with families to maintain routines, encourage emotional regulation, and foster healthy development. My background includes consistency, discretion, and adaptability—qualities that are especially important when supporting busy households. I bring a strong skill set in child development support, behavior management, emotional regulation, and routine-based care. With my training as a Registered Behavioral Technician, I am highly skilled in positive reinforcement, observation, and individualized support strategies. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to anticipate family needs, multitask efficiently, and maintain a polished, professional standard at all times.

My name is Maia Kissell and I am currently a second year at Iowa State studying English and Secondary Education. I have been working with children since I was 14 years old as a babysitter, kids club attendant, and lifeguard. As a previous employee at Genesis Kids Club, I watched children of various ages, from infants to 14-year-olds. Most previously, I am employed seasonally with Des Moines Parks and Recreation as a Supervisor of Nahas Aquatic Center. I have been a lifeguard since I was 15 years old, was given the opportunity to head-guard 2 years ago, and was previously hired as a Supervisor last summer. In this position, I earned my first-aid and CPR certifications. I also previously learned my LGI (Lifeguard Instructor) certification, which allows me to teach these concepts to lifeguards in need. In this role, I worked with employees and patrons to create a safe and fun environment. I was able to build relationships with both parents and children to ensure they were safe. I also have taught swim lessons through this position for 4 years. I have taught many ages, and many levels, allowing me to also become close with parents. I am currently employed at Success Gymnastics Studio in Ames, where I teach Preschool-Kindergarten aged children gymnastics. This requires communication and proper knowledge of lesson planning with both students and parents. I am very organized, flexible, and also have a car.
