A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Kirsten! I moved to Iowa City to pursue a career in nursing! I have many years of childcare experience because my mom had an in-home daycare, and I have worked for her since I was ten years old. I would also babysit other children outside of my mom's daycare. Since I've been in Iowa City, I have been working as a CNA with a travel nursing agency where I care for seniors and those who have suffered a traumatic brain injury.

A little bit about me

I began working as a Mother's Helper when I was 10 years old and then a babysitter once I turned 12. I have babysat for 15+ families with kids as young as 2 months old through 11 years old. I have worked as a full-time nanny the past three summers back at home for a family, but now I want to stay in Iowa City for the summer and am seeking a summer job here.

I am in my Junior year at the University of Iowa. I am a nursing student and CPR certified. While away at school, I babysit for 4 different families in the Iowa City area. I took last Fall semester off (because the nursing program did not start until the spring semester) and I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with four kids ranging from ages 2-11 years old. The 3 oldest kids were in school most of the day, so it was mostly just me and the 2-year-old. We spent our days out and about at local parks, Story Time at the library, going for walks and Tot Time. I love to play with kids and am a very interactive babysitter!
