Hi! My name is Megan! I am 31 years old and was born and raised in the Cedar Rapids area! I worked at a daycare for almost 3 years back in high school, granted that was half of my life ago, I have always been great with children! I am very personable and easy to get along with. I do hair part time for myself, so I’m looking to help out a few days a week and possibly every other weekend!

I'm andrea, I've been caring for children for many years. I live in Solon with my 2 guinea pigs Harry & GusGus. I have a two year associate degree in early childhood education. I work at a local hotel in Coralville. I’ve been in the area my whole life- started school at Penn elementary & ended up graduating high school from clear creek Amana- it was a lot smaller when I graduated. I love to go for walks, take your children to the pool, to the library, to the mall. I enjoy finding activities for children to create. Reading books, watching movies ( I understand some parents have rules about their kids and too much screen time) I'm available for date night sitting as well. I'm comfortable with all ages of young children. I'm comfortable with pets. I grew up with a variety of pets. Small house keeping tasks ( run the vacuum, start the dishwasher, dust) I can also drive kids to activities if need be, in your car or mine. Feel free to email me with further questions.

Hi! My name is Zoe. I worked at a daycare for 2 years before moving to Cedar Rapids to attend Kirkwood. I am currently an Early Childhood Education major, and I would like to become a kindergarten or first grade teacher. I have experience working with children from infants to school age. I love working with children and look forward to finding a family to babysit for!

I have always had a natural connection with children and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. For about two to three years, I cared for my younger cousins, which deepened my passion for working with kids and engaging them in fun, creative, and meaningful activities. In addition to childcare, I take pride in helping others by assisting with household chores and contributing to a clean, organized environment. I find fulfillment in supporting families and making daily life a little easier for those around me.

I am available for babysitting/nanny gigs. I have many years experience with children of all ages, specializing in preschool age. I will read to your child, work on colors, numbers, letters, and sing songs. I do homework, chores, games , etc with older children. I am a plugged in nanny, I don't just casually supervise unless this is specifically requested. I was a preschool teacher for 5 years, a certified EMT with a volunteer ambulance service for 4 years and was CPR certified for numerous years. I am a married mother of an adult daughter and grandma to 2 girls.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy caring for others and providing peace of mind to families. Knowing that I can create a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment for someone while their loved ones are away is very rewarding. I also value the trust families place in me, and I take pride in being dependable and compassionate. I have nieces and nephews that I babysit all the time. I have a lot of younger cousins it’s just always been in me with working with kids.

I have been babysitting for over 20 years and have watched children ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. I have worked in three different day cares, all in the infant room. I have also babysat for over 250 families. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, renewed February 2022. I have used this on one occasion to save a life. I have been vaccinated for covid in March and April 2021, and received a covid booster in November 2021. Please rest assured I will get a second covid booster as soon as available! I have also had a flu shot in September 2021, and a tdap in February 2022. I have come to believe that the core of child care is truly loving kids and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I learn something new from each child I have the privilege of babysitting, and most of all, I love getting the opportunity to nurture kids when they are young! I'm also actively involved in the Second City Acting program. I absolutely love engaging children in creative role-play! Finally, I also teach in the Northwestern Program for Gifted Students. I love making learning fun, and it is my dream to open an empowerment institute for kids one day. Please note I do not have after school availability at this time.
