A little bit about me
My name is Kamryn and I am 18 years old! I just graduated from Johnston High school and will be attending DMACC this fall. I played basketball for 13 years, and this will be my first summer without summer ball so I will be available a lot. I love kids, and used to say I wanted to be a mom when I grew up. I am very responsible, caring, and fun!! I lifeguarded the past 2 summers so I am first aid certified, CPR certified, and trained in the heimlich maneuver. I got my pro start certification in school this year (which is a culinary certification) and am able to make some pretty good meals. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA and honors, so I could always help with work! I love music and dancing (I danced for 11 years) and did show choir in school. I am very honest reliable and friendly, and would love to get to know your kids and make lasting connections with them!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sarah Brosnahan, and I recently just graduated from Iowa State University with a major in Elementary Education! I am energetic and organized and love spending time with kids! I have been a nanny/babysitter for many families and loved it! When working for these families, I would plan activities for them that consisted of outdoor activities or just planning a fun arts and crafts activity. I think when working with children it is important to have a positive energy and creating an entertaining/educational experience for the children.

A little bit about me
My name is Lizzy, and I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Psychology. I have worked in childcare and respite care for many years, caring for children ranging from ages 1 month to thirteen years. I thoroughly enjoy the experience of watching children grow each day, and it is a privilege to assist them as they learn to navigate new situations. I am an aspiring music therapist, so I am passionate about utilizing the power of music to benefit one's mental and emotional health. This is especially important during childhood development, wherein children are learning how to regulate their emotions as they take in the world around them. I am passionate about ensuring the safety and dignity of all human beings, especially the youngest ones among us. After all, we were all children once, and we all deserve to be treated with the utmost love and compassion!
