A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Laylah and I love working with children! Though I don't have "paid" experience (yet), my aunt is a well established babysitter whom I have helped care for children ages 2m-11yrs for multiple years ever since I was a young teen! So saying I have childcare under my belt would be a bit of an understatement. I love caring for children and aiding both their learning and growth journeys, as well as building bonds with amazing parents. If you ever need any help, I am available!

A little bit about me

I’m a hard working high school student, determined to go to college and start my career in fashion product design! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, mostly started out as family members. I would care for them after school and during the summers. As I grew older my parents friends would have me care for their children. Once I turned 16 I began working at Chuck E. Cheese’s which is all about children’s safety. I still continued to nanny during the weekdays. My gpa is a 3.6+! I’m a very great at teaching kids as well and making it fun!

A little bit about me

Hi there,
My name is Maddie, I am currently 23 years old and attending University of Iowa pursuing a degree in Biology. I have an extensive background in childcare work. I am the oldest of 4, so it all began caring for my younger siblings. In high school I became CPR/First Aid Certified through lifeguarding, where I also taught swimming lessons to toddlers aging from 2-4 years old. My passion working with children continued when I went to college. I was a staff member for 2 years at the After School Program of Shimek Elementary School, working with kids from kindergarten to 6th grade, which also had certified me in CPR/First Aid and CDA. I since have been nannying through care.com for 2 years now for multiple families with children raging from 1 to 12 year olds. I am currently seeking a part time position that works with my daily school schedule which ends at 1:20. If you are interested in learning more about me, please feel free to contact me here at any time.
