I am a full time nanny to 1 and mother to a 6 yr old girl in my home. We have lots of fun playing, crafting, going to the park and on walks. We practice social distancing and take Covid very seriously. I am also expecting another girl in April 2021. I am a very caring, compassionate, and responsible person who loves children and animals! I have plenty of references and experience with both!

I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months

Spending time with children is one of my passions. I love being able to observe children learn and grow. I want to help inspire children to be life long learners. I know that your child is the most important person in your life and I take the position seriously, but know how to have fun. I have been employed as a babysitter, nanny, daycare provider, a school associate and owned my own daycare and afterschool program. I have a degree in social work as well. I worked at Children and Families of Iowa as in home provider as well.

I have worked with various ages of children for over 20 years. I love to interact with children and watch them learn through play. There are various ways of interacting with children whether it be through reading stories, playing with toys or simply talking. I have taught preschool for various years as well and love teaching the children some milestones in their learning. I am flexible , responsible and reliable. I also have a degree in elementary education as well as CPR and First Aid certified.

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 :)

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.
