Sittercity helps Pleasant Hill families find the best child care providers

Hello! My name is Chatian Banks. I am from Des Moines, IA. I recently graduated from Grambling State University. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a double minor in Child Development and Sociology My passion for learning children's development and helping them solve the world around them resulted in my future career goal to be a Child Psychologist. I find joy in being around children. Their laughter softens the challenges life throws at me when I'm struggling. Children's personalities and curiosity keep me intrigued in how children learn, behave, and grow. I have been babysitting children for 12 years. I worked as an Assistant Teacher at Cadence Preschool Academy teaching children ranging from infants to 5 years old. My double major in Psychology and Sociology has given me the knowledge to focus on human interactions and human emotions which I emphasize when aiding children with their language, communication skills and emotions.

Hi, I’m Jewels! I’m a caring, dependable sitter who loves creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I enjoy keeping little ones engaged with crafts, games, and outdoor play, while making sure their needs come first. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with meals, homework, or bedtime routines. My goal is for kids to feel comfortable and parents to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

I am a nurse practitioner working in pediatrics. I have been a provider for the last 20 years. I would love to help out some families. I have extensive experience! I look forward to hearing from you!

Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have spent many years helping with my niece. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work with 3-6 and 7-12 year olds mostly. I grew up helping at camp with at risk kids, I am a success coach with those kids as well. As a success coach I work with kids who aren’t having the best of times. I help them understand why they are upset and how we can work through this to have a better days. I am verified in mental health awareness for children.

I have worked with children for 30+ years as a nanny for toddlers and babies, a baby/toddler music class leader, an afterschool tutor and computer instructor, preschool literacy instructor, a babysitter, and, now, as mother and home educator to my three children (ages 7, 12, and 15). This is the first time in my adult life I haven’t had a baby or toddler in my care, and I miss it! I’m looking for the occasional or recurring baby-sitting job to give me that time to play peek-a-boo, do puppet shows, page through board books, do finger plays, sing lullabies, and snuggle. I also love meeting new children of all ages and am delighted to chat about pets or pokemon, play board games or engage in imaginative play. I’m happy to wear a high-quality N-95 style mask if that’s desired, and I can bring my own wrap or carrier for babywearing. College educated, including some coursework in child development. Attended Twin Cities Professional Nannies and Minnesota Association for the Education of Young Children conferences. Experienced with neurodivergent-affirming practices.

I’ve been working with kiddos for about 2 years now, mostly in daycares/centers.

I am also very fun and loving, I enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as swimming, concerts, festivals, etc.
