A little bit about me

I grew up in Bettendorf, IA. I recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a Communication Studies degree.

During my time living in Iowa City, I worked for a babysitting company called College Sitter Contact. As a childcare provider with CSC, I gained experience working with children of all ages. I was named October 2019 Sitter of the Month and have received many five star reviews from parents that I have worked with. Each experience with each child entailed different responsibilities. When I nannied the two children I had the responsibility to ensure they made it to all of their activities on time, helped with homework, and made meals for them. Throughout my different babysitting jobs with younger children, I have had the responsibility to ensure their safety, but also entertain them during my time with them.

I hope to find a Spanish/English speaking family that I can work on Spanish speaking with throughout the job.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Nataly, an experienced and compassionate nanny with over 3 years of hands-on experience in childcare. I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 and have worked with children of all ages, from infants as young as 6 months to teenagers. I’ve had the privilege of serving as a camp counselor for two years at City Arts Rwanda, where I helped foster creativity and personal growth in kids, and as a preschool teacher assistant in Belize, where I worked with young children to encourage early learning and development.

Additionally, I served as a youth mentor and advocate at an after-school program in South Side Chicago. These experiences have not only enriched my skills as a caregiver but have also taught me the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for kids of all ages.

Let me know how I can help support your childcare needs—I look forward to meeting your little ones!
