Aruna M., Child Care in Iowa City, IA 52240 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Jenna P., Child Care in Iowa City, IA 52240 with 11 years of paid experience

I am looking for a nanny or babysitting position that is either full time, part time or one time because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families. I am dependable, patient, kind, hardworking and willing to assist with housekeeping, daily tasks, and creating a supportive environment for both children and parents. I have a reliable transportation and several years of babysitting experience caring for my nieces, nephew, and neighbor's children, as well as being a nanny last summer for my nieces and nephew. I enjoy building positive relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and entertained. what I love most about being a sitter is getting to know the children as well as creating a fun and comforting environment for them. Some more of my strengths include caring for babies and young children, bottle feeding, diaper changing, being a positive role model, bedtime, naps, and routine assistance, homework help, strong communication skills, spending time outdoors with them like going on walks, going to the park, playing games, and creating engaging activities that keep children active, happy and safe.

Hi my name is Alyssa and I'm 25 years old. I currently work full time at the U and am just looking for a short term, part time job leading up to my wedding. I have 2 nieces and 5 nephews (2 of which are angels) and have been keeping newborns overnight since I was about 13. While in college I worked with 4 families ages ranging from 1-14 years old both here in Iowa and back home in Illinois. I love working with kids and miss spending time with them and being a little piece that keeps their family going! I also love animals so if you have pets that’s a plus! hope to hear from you :)

Irene A., Child Care in Iowa City, IA 52240 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Irene, a Spanish international student living in Iowa City. I've always loved children. Playing with them, laughing, and having fun. I feel like I'm one of them. However, I also have my own personality and know how to be serious when the situation calls for it. In addition, I have studied music since I was 3 years old, which I believe has always given me a lot of sensitivity and passion for everything I do. I will be delighted to take care of your children as if they were my own, teach them music and Spanish, and give them lots of love.
