Find experienced child care providers in Dike, IA

I am currently enrolled at Kirkwood Community College, where I am taking online courses to gain my associates degree in Liberal Arts. After Kirkwood I plan to go to a University like Northern Iowa or into an Occupational Therapy Assistant Program to hopefully work in the pediatric side of that field. I have many years of previous experience being a babysitter as I spent my summers throughout middle school and high school babysitting my three younger cousins. While babysitting, I love doing fun crafts with the children, coloring pictures, going on walks, traveling to the park to play, doing fun girly things like painting nails or playing dress up with them. I am very patient and comfortable working with children of all personalities and any age. I am great at problem solving and love to be around children and build strong connections with them. Also, I am currently working part-time at old navy so I am looking for another side job to keep me busy throughout the summer and upcoming school year! Feel free to reach out to be through my phone number or through my email, whichever works best for you! And lastly, I am willing to get CPR or First Aid certified too! Thanks!

I love being a sitter because caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up as the oldest of five, I’ve always enjoyed helping kids learn, feel safe, and have fun. I find it really rewarding to support families and create a positive, comfortable environment for both children and parents. As the oldest of five siblings, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve helped with daily routines like meals, homework, bedtime, and playtime, and I’m very comfortable managing multiple children at once. I’m patient, responsible, and highly adaptable. I’ve developed strong multitasking and problem-solving skills from caring for children with different needs and personalities. I’m attentive, reliable, and good at maintaining structure while still keeping things fun. My experience has also taught me how to stay calm under pressure and handle situations safely and confidently.
