A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Fern Stubbs, from Iowa City. I have had a long childcare road, between my first outside of the family babysitting job at 10 years old to my last summer of full time nanning! I was an infant teacher from age 16 to age 19. I have my CPR, First Aid, Child Precaution certifications, along with a license and reliable transportation. I’m looking for a family to grow and build with, helping with kids, chores, errands and pets!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Gracie, a lead teacher with several years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and families in both Montessori classrooms and in-home settings. Being around children is honestly where I’m happiest, which is what led me to pursue a career in childcare! I currently work as a lead teacher and genuinely love what I do, but I’m finishing my teaching degree online and looking for a position that offers a little more flexibility and a slower pace while I complete school.
