Find experienced nannies in Waterloo, IA

I am currently enrolled at Kirkwood Community College, where I am taking online courses to gain my associates degree in Liberal Arts. After Kirkwood I plan to go to a University like Northern Iowa or into an Occupational Therapy Assistant Program to hopefully work in the pediatric side of that field. I have many years of previous experience being a babysitter as I spent my summers throughout middle school and high school babysitting my three younger cousins. While babysitting, I love doing fun crafts with the children, coloring pictures, going on walks, traveling to the park to play, doing fun girly things like painting nails or playing dress up with them. I am very patient and comfortable working with children of all personalities and any age. I am great at problem solving and love to be around children and build strong connections with them. Also, I am currently working part-time at old navy so I am looking for another side job to keep me busy throughout the summer and upcoming school year! Feel free to reach out to be through my phone number or through my email, whichever works best for you! And lastly, I am willing to get CPR or First Aid certified too! Thanks!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and entertained while their parents are away. I have several years of babysitting and nannying experience with children of different ages, including a long-term role with one family. I’m patient, reliable, and creative, and I enjoy planning activities, helping with routines, and making sure kids are cared for in a positive environment. I’m currently studying Social Work in college, and I’m excited to continue building experience working with children.

Hello! My name is Maya VanDriel and I am a senior Elementary Education major and Special Education minor at UNI. I am graduating this Spring and then moving to Des Moines after graduation in mid May. I have had a wide variety of child care experiences. In high school I worked at a center that provided social and academic education to students with autism and other disabilities. I also nannied a student with down syndrome while in high school. Since being in college, I have joined Camp Adventure where I was a day camp counselor for children on military bases in Hawaii and Sicily over the summers. There, I programmed and implemented daily camp activities for school aged children. I also nannied a family last summer with 7 and 11 year old children. I also tutored those children and have had a lot of teaching experience through UNI. I would be more than willing to encourage reading and other academic skills over the summer. I love being outside and active! I have lots of fun playing sports, going on adventures, or heading to the pool in the summer. I am a fun, positive, and reliable person.

I love working with children! I've been babysitting since I was 16 years old. I'm the youngest of 6 and have helped with my nieces and nephews since they came home from the hospital. I have worked with ages newborn all the way up to 12 years old. One of my favorite things about working with kids is seeing how they see the world.
