Hi, I'm Kelley and I love kids! I'm twenty one and I have almost ten years of experience in childcare. I am CPR, first aid and pca certified. I babysit for families, help in my church nursery, and I've done childcare for my bible study, worked at an after school childcare center, have done some pca work, and have held several nanny jobs. I have a passion for kids, and I'm happiest when I'm with them. I plan on working with kids as a career choice. Children are amazing, and I just love spending time with them. I enjoy playing games with them, reading to them, playing pretend, playing outside and doing outdoor activities and educational toys/games! I think they are so cute and fun! I'm responsible, mature and reliable, but also love to have fun with them! In my free time I like to babysit, be outside, go shopping and hang out with friends.

Hi, I'm Kara — a highly experienced caregiver, nurse, nutritionist, mother of three, and lifelong nurturer with a passion for helping families thrive. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a degree in Dietetics (Food Science and Human Nutrition). I’ve worked as a school nurse, public health nurse, hospital nurse, and case manager. I’ve also worked as an independent nutritionist, helping many mothers and fathers discover practical, nourishing ways to feed their families with confidence. Before raising my own children, I was a dedicated nanny for many years. I bring a unique combination of warmth, structure, creativity, and energy into every home. I was raised on a farm in Iowa, started babysitting early, and still have a close relationship with the family I nannied for growing up. My life is rooted in service, faith, and joyful homemaking — I love preparing homemade, nutritious meals and also enjoy gourmet cooking. Managing a home, gardening, and creating a peaceful, well-run household are things I truly enjoy. I also run an apothecary business, handcrafting herbal products for natural health and wellness. I’m highly active and in very good shape — certified in Pilates and passionate about yoga, hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures. I love engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, whether that’s crafts and science experiments with younger ones or outdoor excursions, baking, art projects, or life-skills support with tweens and teens. I enjoy connecting with older children through meaningful conversation, encouragement, and helping them build independence and confidence. I understand that every child has a unique personality — from energetic explorers to quiet thinkers — and I’m flexible in meeting them where they are. While I’m not an expert in electronics or gaming, I’m happy to learn what they enjoy or provide gentle structure around healthy boundaries and screen time when needed. Whether we’re planning a nature outing, talking through a tough day, or just making a great meal together, I bring creativity, enthusiasm, and patience into everything I do. If you're looking for someone who can care deeply, move quickly, manage your household, and nurture your children’s minds and hearts — I’d love to support your family.

At 16 I began working with teens and young children with special needs in their homes. Shortly after I received my associates I began working in center base level 3 EBD children. After having my two daughters I saw an opportunity to be with them and work with children. I received my bachelor's in psychology and starting working at a licensed childcare Montessori, as an infant teacher. After a year and a half I realized I had a real passion for leadership. I have worked a total of two years as an assistant director of a childcare and learning centers. I have always loved teaching and working with children who need a little extra love. I am a mom of five! Ages 13, 12, 6,5, and 4! I am CPR and first aid trained and have been since 12 years old. I have multiple trainings in special needs care, as I work as a DSP on the weekends and having trainings through that company. I am comfortable doing housework and am a pretty good cook!

I graduated high school last year and decided to take a gap year to focus on babysitting and gaining real-life experience working with children. During this time, I have had the opportunity to care for kids of different ages, which has helped me develop strong childcare skills and a deep understanding of children’s needs. I am very responsible, patient, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I am great at creating a positive and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and sticking to daily routines such as bedtime and cleanup. I am also calm under pressure and able to handle challenging situations in a thoughtful and caring way. Parents can trust me to communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and treat their children with kindness and respect. I take pride in being a reliable and attentive babysitter who truly enjoys working with kids and helping families feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.
