A little bit about me
I grew up in Bettendorf, IA. I recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a Communication Studies degree.
During my time living in Iowa City, I worked for a babysitting company called College Sitter Contact. As a childcare provider with CSC, I gained experience working with children of all ages. I was named October 2019 Sitter of the Month and have received many five star reviews from parents that I have worked with. Each experience with each child entailed different responsibilities. When I nannied the two children I had the responsibility to ensure they made it to all of their activities on time, helped with homework, and made meals for them. Throughout my different babysitting jobs with younger children, I have had the responsibility to ensure their safety, but also entertain them during my time with them.
I hope to find a Spanish/English speaking family that I can work on Spanish speaking with throughout the job.
