A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Reonnia but I go by my nickname ReeRee. I have 4 kids of my own and not to brag but I get compliments very often about how well mannered my kids are and how they are always welcomed back at their friends house because they’re so polite and actually clean up behind themselves. I have many years of experience babysitting ranging from ages 0-14yrs old. Just not professional on paper. I especially love the age range of 0-3yrs old. Be warned kids tend to flock to me and I can’t seem to get rid of them. I can’t really put into words how great I am with kids. That’s something that you’ll just have to witness in person.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a junior at Iowa State University with multiple years of valuable child care experience. I have a genuine passion for working with children and believe in providing them with engaging and interactive activities.

When babysitting, I love to involve the kids in hands-on crafts such as baking, coloring, and exploring outdoor adventures. I believe in striking a balance between fun and educational experiences while limiting screen time. However, I'm always up for building a cozy fort and enjoying a movie together!

As a responsible and caring babysitter, I prioritize the safety and well-being of the children under my care. I am dedicated to creating a positive and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and have a great time.

If you're looking for a trustworthy babysitter who brings creativity, fun, and a love for hands-on activities, I would be thrilled to help out! Feel free to reach out to me for a reliable and enjoyable babysitting experience.
