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.

I have always enjoyed working with children. I am the oldest of 9 kids, so being a caregiver has come naturally to me. I have worked in a daycare setting for 4 years. I’m the current lead teacher for the 3 year olds, but have experience with all ages. I’m working towards getting my CDA which is my main focus at this time. I am up to date on all DHS trainings as well as CPR and first aid.

Hi! I’m Anjelica, a current graduate student and teaching assistant with over eight years of childcare experience. I began babysitting in high school and, for the past five years, have worked consistently with one family, caring for children from toddler age through middle school. I also have experience working with kids in coaching and athletic settings. I’ve taught soccer to children ages 5–13 at a training camp and I have served as a coach for both the Iowa City Kickers and Rock Island High School. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, homework, and other household responsibilities. I’m also an animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I have a Standard Poodle of my own and lots of experience with dogs and other animals. What I enjoy most about working with kids is their creativity and unique way of looking at the world. Kids are always teaching me something new and I value the opportunity to learn with them :)
