Hi families! I am Rebekah. I am from Iowa. I am moving to Florida the beginning of October. I am looking for a start date around the middle of October. I am moving to Florida for a new experience. I just graduated The University of Northern Iowa with a bachelors in Human services. I am also CRP/First Aid certified. I have also been starting to take classes on a website called Alison. This is a website that I can learn more about children and the best way to help them thrive and grow. As for my experience. I have 10 years of babysitting experience and three years professional nannying. The family I work for now have two kids. They were 4 and 8 months when I started. They will be 6 and 2. 5 when I move. I have worked for this family for almost 2 years. Before that I worked for a family with one child. She was 5 months when I started and 1. 5 years when they moved away. I look forward to hearing from you!

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and nurturing, and I know how to manage behavior in a positive and respectful way. I am a very out going and happy person. My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.

For as long as I can remember I have always been the on call babysitter for friends and family! I have been watching children aged three months old to six years old for around four years. I have most recently been watching my niece and nephew (two under two) very frequently, and love it! I have just moved to Ames in the past weeks, and I’m hoping to keep working in childcare! Childcare, and children is something I’ve always adored, and am hoping to make a career out of it through education and real life experience!

Hi!! I have always adored kids and have such a love for getting to know and spend time with them. I have babysat for several families in my community and I also have been CNA at a nursing home for 4 years!

I love being a sitter because caring for children feels meaningful to me, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe, understood, and supported. I have hands-on experience from working as a summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, balanced different ages and needs, and kept them engaged through daily activities. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and I’ve also helped families with routines, transportation, and general in-home support. I bring patience, warmth, and strong communication to every role, along with skills in multitasking, organizing schedules, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m attentive, gentle under pressure, reliable with transitions, and always focused on helping both children and parents feel supported.
