Olivia F., Child Care in Runnells, IA 50237 with 2 years of paid experience

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. Running around and having a huge amount of energy is what I expect and love to have fun!

Josie S., Child Care in Runnells, IA 50237 with 7 years of paid experience

I am a Drake Law School student with a passion for childcare. I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a street where I was the oldest kid, so I was the neighborhood babysitter. This has continued into my teenage years, as I have been employed at the YMCA for over 3 years doing both the summer camp program and aftercare during the school year. I have experience with newborns to teenagers. I am first aid and CPR certified, and I have a car. I am well-versed in managing multiple kids (and multiple ages) at once. I pride myself on my ability to cook, help with homework, create (clean up), and play with all types of kids :)

Elizabeth M., Child Care in Runnells, IA 50237 with 0 years of paid experience

I am a single mother of a daughter turning age 3 in May of 2026. I love being a mom, and have always wanted to work with children. I have taken two parenting classes to help in my ability to be a parent that has helped me to be a parent in numerous ways. I am Circle of Security trained, Love and Logic trained, and I am CPR as well as first aid trained. I have reliable transportation, I am prompt, and a fast learner to any children's needs. I was a stay at home mother for 15 months before I returned to the workforce, and I exclusively breastfed my daughter for those 15 months. I know what is entailed to protect children from potential hazards as I am also a mother. I have also under gone the Safe Care program. I also come from a large family of 5 child, and so I have been around children all of my life. I know how to meal prep, do housework, and I have very good scheduling as well as time management. Taking care of my daughter is what I do best, and I would love to help out a family to take care of their children as that allows me to take care of my daughter in unison with employment.

Candice R., Child Care in Runnells, IA 50237 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Candice, and caring for others has been my passion for most of my life. I have 6 years of professional experience as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and approximately 15–20 years of experience as a babysitter and caregiver. I am also a mother of three, with two teenagers and one elementary-school-aged child, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your children. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, loved, supported, and understood. I have experience caring for verbal and nonverbal children, children with autism, and children with behavioral challenges. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, compassion, encouragement, and care tailored to their individual needs. I have been a certified Medication Technician (Med Tech) for seven years and am CPR and First Aid certified. My background has helped me develop strong caregiving, communication, safety awareness, and behavioral support skills. I strive to create a nurturing, positive, and comfortable environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. For me, caregiving is more than a job; it is something I genuinely love. My goal is to give every family peace of mind, knowing their children are in dependable, capable, and loving hands. I treat every child with the same patience, respect, and attention I would want someone to give my own children. ❤️

Kaylee P., Child Care in Runnells, IA 50237 with 0 years of paid experience

hi I’m Kaylee!! I am a graduate student at Iowa State University pursuing my masters degree to become a registered dietitian! Although I haven’t had much experience paid in childcare, I do come from a family of 5, 3 of which are younger than me. There is 18 years of age between me and the youngest so the range of experience spans from infants to teens. I am incredibly responsible, dependable, and caring! I am also First Aid/CPR/AED certified for pediatrics and adults. I love to connect with the people I babysit for and get to know them personally. Fostering connections and relationships is close to my heart and I love to see them grow!

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.
