A little bit about me…
Hello, my name is Lori. I have two grown children. They no longer need mom, like they used to. So I am free to work with other children.
I am a licensed teacher. I am licensed to teach students from Preschool to 8th grade. I have more than 20 years of child-care experience. I also have a lot of experience with children and adults who have special needs which includes: speech issues, children on the Autism Spectrum, delays with cognitive, gross motor & fine motor skills, and I do know basic sign language.
In addition to being a teacher for 18+ years, I have tutored students from Preschool through college students on a very wide variety of subjects. So helping with homework is not a problem.
For 12 years I worked as a Head Start (Federally Funded Preschool). I can make almost any book fun or very interesting. I love make crafts, singing & dancing, as well as teaching yoga to any child old enough to walk.

Hi! My name is Lucy and I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I am currently 18, and plan on attending Iowa State University. I'm hoping to find some families to help out! I love hanging out with the littles, and don't mind cleaning up around the house. I am CPR and first aid certified as I am a lifeguard in my hometown. I also have a car that can fit any car seat, whether that be rear facing or a booster. I am used to babysitting multiple kids at a time, so siblings are no problem!

A little bit about me…
Hi! I come from a family of five kids and I was the oldest so from a young age I took care of them. I love to do activities with kids as well as help them with whatever they need. Back home I also used to babysit and nanny throughout many years of my life. One of the biggest things for me is keeping kids safe and to have fun! I will be honest, if kids are taking naps I am one who likes to tidy up the home, it is an old habit that I hope never dies. I am currently a student at Iowa State University and work as a casual employee at Northcrest Community as a Dietary Aide but, I am always willing to be flexible. I can either be a part-time nanny or a babysitter!
