Hi, My name is Gina and I have over 30 years of child care experience. I have 3 grown sons of my own, I also have 6 grandchildren. I am a loving, caring, honest, responsible, dependable, organized and fun Grandma. I am very capable of providing quality care for your children. I have a good way with children and have excellent parenting skills. I love to play games, do arts & crafts, read story books, or anything your children would like to do. I will spend "Quality Time" with your children. I do occasional babysitting for a few families in the Cedar Rapids area and have excellent references. Please contact me for your next day or night out. Thank you for visiting my profile. Sincerely, Gina NOTE... I do not travel outside of my area. My area includes, Marion, Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha.

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Hello. I am Keoisha. I am a fun and loving babysitter with over 10 years of experience. I am extremely punctual, trustworthy, and honest. I enjoy music, board games of all kinds, and crafting. I've babysat kids of all ages, from one month to twelve years. I am currently working in a salon as a cosmetologist!

Hello! I have babysat for 3 years now. I have babysat multiple different families with multiple kids and pets. I really enjoy babysitting and being able to get to know kids. I have also been working in a daycare for about 2 years so working with kids is very natural to me.

I have 2 sisters that I helped take care of all the time growing up and not only that but had a few babysitting jobs when I was in middle school and high school for friends of my parents. my mom had an in home daycare that I was around growing up for quite a while. I also had a job coaching gymnastics for about a year and I coached from 18 months to 6 year olds. I have a passion for children and want many of my own when my fiance and I get married. I am trained in CPR at the Cedar Rapids police station as part of my training (im a police cadet) but dont have an actual card that says im certified yet.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.

Hello. I’ve been taking care of children since I was back in my country. I love caring for children because I consider them as my own family. I am a mother of one year old son. I’m fun, kind, respectful and much more. Give me a chance to get to know me. Thank you!

Hello! I’m a 20 year old who has had a love for kids sense I was a teen. I started out babysitting my own siblings and then extended family and family friends. I have several years of experience in paid babysitting from families that I can give as references. I also nannied all summer a couple of years ago for 2 kids ages 7 and 9. I have tons of driving experience. I have worked with ages 0-12 a ton. The last 4 years I’ve been mostly working with ages 0-2, 2-5, and some elementary ages. I absolutely love working with 1-3 kids vs a daycare setting as it allows me to connect with them more and do things catered more to what they desire. I love running errands if you need someone to go grocery shopping for you, transporting kids to swimming lessons or sports, going to the park, trampoline parks, or any other activities. I don’t mind picking up toys, folding laundry, helping with things around the house, cooking meals, baking desserts with kids, etc. I am currently a Lead 4 and 5 year old teacher and onsite supervisor at my current job with preschool kids. I’m not the preschool teacher, I’m the wrap around care teacher who provides structure, play with a purpose, and more learning while the kids are not currently at preschool! I am CPR and First Aid certified for infant, child, and adult. I’ve been certified for the last 4 years! I have several other childcare trainings as well. A little more about me! My favorite age I’ve worked with probably has to be age 3! I love all ages, but working with 3s and watching them grow and develope so much in just 1 year was incredible and so rewarding for me! I also have experience being a lead teacher with the 2 year old classroom at one of my past jobs. I absolutely love to be silly and do activities with kids! I think I dislike being bored just as much as they do which helps all of us! I love painting, coloring, riding bikes, playing with chalk, bubbles, you name it. I also love me a good dance party with any age! I have several pets at home and have grown up with so many different kinds as well. I’m a huge dog and cat lover. I also have pet birds and a rabbit of my own. One of my favorite activities in nice weather is walking outside or riding a bike. Being in nature is wonderful! I also enjoy making bracelets and working with clay. I take spin wheel pottery classes every now and then for fun. I take so much pride and confidence in what I do and all that I’ve learned in the childcare industry. I am always learning!
