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've worked with children full-time and throughout college at Handicare Inc. and it's truly become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Watching kids learn and grow has taught me so much about patience, empathy and compassion. Even after starting my professional career, I've realized that caring for children is something I never want to step away from. It's a role that continues to bring me genuine happiness and purpose. I'm also certified in First Aid and CPR and have completed the Universal Precautions for Iowa Childhood and School-age Professionals training through Iowa State University Extension. Safety and care are really important to me, and I always do my best to make sure every child feels safe, supported, and loved.
