Sittercity helps Waterloo families find the best nannies

My name is Danni. I am 28 and live in Sun Prairie. I have a Master's degree in education, along with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and music therapy, and I am a licensed early childhood special education teacher and music therapist. I have years of experience working as an early childhood teacher, music therapist, and a nanny, and I have worked with children of all ages and abilities. I am expecting a baby girl, due in April 2021, and am hoping to find a full-time nannying job that would allow me to bring my daughter with me. I am available to start in July 2021 and would love to find a family with a child of a similar age in order to begin facilitating positive and interactive social experiences for both kiddos from an early age. I have a lot of experience with planning developmentally appropriate and enriching activities for children. I especially love to incorporate music, arts and crafts, multi-sensory activities, and plenty of outside time!

Although I never was a registered babysitter, I have babysat and taken care of three or four children at a time within my family. I was a nanny for my sister Leah and her three children when I was 14 for a whole summer in between academic school years, for example. I did work at a daycare - Little Dumplings Early Learning Center- for the summer and I absolutely enjoyed every second. I worked with ages 6 months-3 years primarily and I love that age because I see so much personality development and growth at those ages. It is an extremely rewarding job knowing I help not only the kids with every day activities, but that I also help the parents. I know life can get very hectic and not working isn’t an option. I think that taking care of children is a great gift to people like me who want to work with children when they get older. It is great practice as I always learn many new things, and again as I said before, it is incredibly rewarding watching and helping little children grow into toddlerhood then preschool age and so on. I am CPR and choking certified.

Currently, I’m seeking flexible, freelance childcare opportunities that fit around my school schedule. I’m available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m always happy to lend a helping hand to families in need of extra support.

Hello! Having had the opportunity to be a part of my family‘s journey in raising children, I understand the importance of loving and supportive care.

I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a specialization in Human Development (primary emphasis in child development). As president of my campus’s Psych Society, (psychology club), I organized and hosted volunteer events for children at local organizations throughout the community, which included the care and supervision of many children of all ages.

Hi, my name is Sara! I have 14 years experience with children of all ages, including infants. I thoroughly enjoy children and I’ve been told I’m quite fun! I engage children with empathy and try to create an environment where they can learn and play, while exploring their environment freely with gentle guidance when needed. I always communicate boundaries with respect for where children are developmentally and what their needs are emotionally amd physically. It’s important that parents trust that their children are well cared for and that they can focus on their work without worry. I also have lots of experience with nursing and can help support new mothers in that area! I

Please call me Becky. I'm a sitter that is available on call. Can you believe it? Strictly on call. I literally will not schedule anything more than 2 hours in advance. I mean, have you ever heard of a sitter that you can text within 2 hours of when you'd like them to arrive? You're free to run errands, have lunch with a friend, schedule that interview, show that house, meet a client, take that extra shift. Wow! Now that's convenient. Don't be a slave to a schedule. Flexibility makes life run smoothly. I will come to your home and play indoors with your child. We will play with their toys, games, puzzles, blow bubbles, color and crafts, pretend, talk, read, listen to music, put on talent shows, etc. After I get to know your child, we can possibly bake & make other messy crafts. It depends on the child. - Excuse me a moment while I talk to the type A parents out there. Schedule a sitter and if they have to cancel or don't show, contact me. You'll want to have your bases covered, right? - Please take that first step and either send me a message, leave me a voice mail, send a text or send me an email. We should talk through the details. I'll want to be sure you're within my small service radius. The second step will be texting me 2 hrs (or less) before you'd like to get together and meet. An in-person meeting is required before I can watch the kids. Doing the meeting at the last minute shows that we have an understanding of the last minute arrangement that would be used when contacting me for care. Then we'd be all set for last minute care. Any time you needed my help, you would text me no more than 2 hours (but less is always an option) before you wanted me to arrive. Sound good? I'd love to hear from you during the week. Thank you for reading through my profile. By using my help for your random needs and as a backup for your scheduled needs, you are allowing parents that work on call to have consistent care for their children instead of tossing them from one 'between jobs' sitter and another. Thank you for allowing me to offer this service. *Please note that I am listed in the directory of Jefferson County respite providers if you qualify for this service.*
