A little bit about me

My name is Leigha Roggeveen and I am currently a junior at the University of Iowa! I am studying elementary ed and educational psychology in hopes of one day becoming an educational psychologist. I have worked in 3 different childcare centers during my college years along with occasional babysitting on the weekends. I have experience with children aged infant-school aged, there is something special about each age! Because of my experience in a daycare setting, I am comfortable watching multiple children at once! I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have had experience with summer nannying! Some of my favorite things to do are singing, playing guitar, yoga, and any type of outdoor activity/adventure! I am CPR and First aid certified, along with any other training required by DHS and the state of Iowa to be a daycare teacher!

A little bit about me

I am a Labor, Delivery and Postpartum doula and I am currently in school for traditional midwifery!! I am currently looking for some part time nanny work just for some extra income:)
I have been nannying for 9 years, mostly within the same few families, I like to build a close and strong connection with my nanny kids and I still keep in touch with past nanny kids!
Being a Labor, Delivery and Postpartum doula is extremely helpful, especially with infant care, but also with finding ways to make parents lives a little easier for when they get home; laundry, dishes, cleaning up around the house!
