Find local child care providers in Mc Clelland, IA

Hi friends! I am a student at Creighton university in my last year of nursing school looking for a family to babysit occasionally or weekly on afternoons/weekends. I have eight years of experience with ages newborn-teen groups of 1-5 kids. Please reach out for your babysitting/nanny needs, I am so excited to meet you!

I have been babysitting for about 8 years now. I have worked at a childcare center on base when I lived in California and also did a class in which I actively worked with the kids at the childcare center at my college and made lesson plans and observed children and their developmental skills. I have known that I wanted to work with kids for a long time, which is the reason I have pursued and will keep pursuing an education in childcare. :)

Hi! My name is Vaeda, I’m 25 and have spent most of my life looking after my younger siblings, so even without professional babysitting experience, I’ve learned a lot about patience, encouragement, and being fully present with kids. A big part of that was supporting my little sister through a significant speech delay. Helping her gain confidence in her own voice taught me how powerful patience and encouragement can be. My 10-year-old brother and I are super close—he always says he loves how enthusiastic and loving I am about whatever he’s into. Whether we’re roughhousing outside, practicing piano with me cheering him on, or even boxing (yes, boxing!), I’m all in because I believe kids thrive when they feel truly seen and supported for who they are. I’m passionate about helping kids believe in themselves and know they’re capable of anything they want to achieve. Too often, kids get stuck doubting themselves or feeling boxed in by labels, and I want to be the person who helps them see just how limitless their potential is. I also believe in the power of imagination and hands-on play over screen time. While I understand the benefits of TV and games, I focus on encouraging real-world learning and creativity because that’s what truly helps little brains grow and flourish. Outside of caregiving, I’m a backpacker who’s traveled the world, supporting myself along the way. Those experiences have opened my eyes to so many ways of living and have deepened my appreciation for curiosity, kindness, and confidence—values I bring to every child I care for. I’m currently working towards studying wildlife conservation and learning Swahili to help protect Kenya’s wildlife one day. I’ll be moving to Australia in mid-November, so I’m looking for short-term babysitting jobs. Even if it’s temporary, I promise to give your child my full energy, support, and care. In case of any emergency I am also CPR and first aid certified! Also! As I am becoming a resident in another country they have done a full background check on me and I promise I am not a criminal lol.

Hi! My name is Jocabed, and I have extensive experience working with children of all ages — from infants to teens. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for kids in both personal and professional settings, which has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and creating a fun, nurturing environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident knowing their children are in safe hands. My academic background includes a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Gerontology, giving me strong skills in responsibility, problem-solving, and care across all stages of life. Additionally, I serve in the military, which has strengthened my discipline, reliability, and ability to stay calm and collected in any situation. What sets me apart as a sitter is not just my qualifications but my genuine passion for working with children. I know how to balance fun and structure — whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or ensuring bedtime routines run smoothly. Families can count on me to be dependable, respectful, and fully committed to their children’s well-being. If you’re looking for someone who brings professionalism, safety, and heart to childcare, I would love the opportunity to support your family.

I’m a patient, dependable sitter with 7 years of experience caring for children. Growing up in a family of 10, I naturally took on the role of helping raise my younger siblings, which gave me a deep understanding of child care from an early age. I also have professional experience working part-time as a sitter for a toddler over the past year. I’m CPR certified and have experience with children of all ages, particularly toddlers and young kids. I love doing creative and engaging activities that make kids smile and help them learn. I’m great at math and English and happy to help with homework, and I pride myself on being calm, patient, and a strong communicator. I want to make this job as smooth and supportive as possible for both kids and parents. I currently attend the University of Omaha, where I’m studying criminal justice, and I’ve been living independently in my own apartment since I was 17. I have a reliable source of transportation and am available for most, if not all, of your family’s needs—including emergencies, overnights, and last-minute care. I’m excited to bring my love for kids and positive attitude to families who need a sitter they can count on. Feel free to reach out to set up a call or ask for references!
