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.

Hello, My name is Terra, I’ve been a daycare teacher since 2023 working with ages 3 months to 3 years old. I love working with children because I get to be apart of helping them learn new things as well as helping them grow into new personalities they will have. Working in daycares I got the opportunity to get certified via Iowa state courses, and I have my cpr/first aid training. The skills I bring with me is my patience, reliability, and ability to adjust to new things quickly, I’m a quick thinker when plans change, I can cook and clean, and will always prioritize the children’s needs over my own.

Tatum R., Child Care in Prairie City, IA 50228 with 2 years of paid experience

I am currently working as an educational associate for special needs preschoolers. I have a CNA license and have experience with multiple physical and mental disabilities. I prefer working with children ages 2-5, but am willing to care for newborns-11. Because I work at a school district and am in school for social work, I am looking for families that need summer care. I am available approximately from June 1st-August 23rd. I love to take kids to parks or other free community activities. If your family is able and willing to compensate for other activities that have a cost, I would be more than willing to explore these activities with your little ones! Once the school year begins, I will be available for occasional sitting and potentially after school care. I hope I can be a good fit for your family!
