A little bit about me

Hi! My name is paige, I am 22 years old, and soon graduating from the University of Iowa. My major is Therapeutic Recreation with a focus in psych. I am starting a Youth Counselor position in June with UnityPoint in CR. I grew up babysitting but started nannying in January of 2021 back home. I had to leave for school which ended my time there but I was hired on by a new family who I left one great terms with before they moved out of state.
I do work a full time position typically 8-4 M-Th in the summer and 10-6 M-Th during the school year so looking for a night time/weekend family in need!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Rylee, I’m 21 years old and have several years of experience working with kids. I’ve nannied for one family, worked in a daycare, and babysat for different families. I’ve been a CNA for over 3 years, which has given me a lot of hands-on caregiving experience and responsibility. I’m also a full-time college student, but all of my classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and enjoy spending my days with kids. I help with daily routines, playtime, naps, and getting kids where they need to be. I’m comfortable helping with housekeeping, kid-related tasks around the house, and meal prep as needed. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a family that’s a good fit and values consistency and trust.
