Find experienced child care providers in West Branch, IA

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.

Hi! I'm Irene, a Spanish international student living in Iowa City. I've always loved children. Playing with them, laughing, and having fun. I feel like I'm one of them. However, I also have my own personality and know how to be serious when the situation calls for it. In addition, I have studied music since I was 3 years old, which I believe has always given me a lot of sensitivity and passion for everything I do. I will be delighted to take care of your children as if they were my own, teach them music and Spanish, and give them lots of love.
