A little bit about me
Hello, I'm Alyssa I am a provider who's been working with children for the last 7 years now. I have worked with all ages. I went to school for early childhood education. I love working with children! My favorite thing about working with kids is watching them grow and seeing how much they've learned from me and others. I like to have fun with the kiddos I definitely describe myself as a big kid myself so I'm very hand on in the activities I plan for the children. I hope to hear from you.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Megan, and I'm an active college graduate with a passion for childcare! I've grown up in the Midwest but traveled all over the country and even spent a few months in Thailand a few years ago. My degree is in Health and Exercise Science, so you can expect plenty of appropriate physical activity and balanced meals for the whole family to enjoy. I am looking for a full time, live-in position with a family I can become an extension of while offering all the services you could ask for in such a role. I'm organized, adaptable, bubbly, and simply LOVE spending time with kids and their growing minds. I can't wait to get to know you!

A little bit about me
I love to paint and get creative with my inner child sometimes. But I’m general I’ve grown up not only for a love of art and music but watching my cousins and taking care of my uncles homes while doing so and such just seemed relaxing to me. I have been on a stretch to make sure this is what I want but kids make me feel excited the way painting does and to me I love a job that’s fun to me and that I enjoy. I enjoyed taking care of them growing up one more complicated then the other like meds and needing more help but it was never to much and we always made it fun. By that I mean I have experience with a baby needing help with meds, feeding tube, extra learning and attention. I took care of him for years u til he got to big for me to pick up but the time was amazing seeing his smile every morning and knowing I could make him smile. I just wanna be able to teach more children, make them happy and parents by helping out around the house maybe just help more the way I know best.

A little bit about me
My name is Julia, and I am twenty two years old. I am from Texas, but I currently live in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, and am currently looking for a full time nanny position. I do have past nanny experience and I was also a pre school teacher for a brief time when I visited Massachusetts’s. (I have traveled a lot!) There, I fostered a warm, nurturing and fun atmosphere conducive to learning. I taught basic skills and helped kids with gross motor skills, sensory bins and crafts. I am a dependable person who is great at time management, and I use a creative approach to problem solve. I am able to handle multiple tasks on a daily basis.
I am also (Infant, Child, Adult) CPR/First Aid Certified. If you want to know more about me ask me a question. I look forward to hearing from you.
