A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Bethany, and I am CNA & EMT certified. I plan to begin nursing school in August 2023. I have 2 younger brothers, so I have experience babysitting during the summers, as well as helping them with schoolwork during the school year. I have worked in various healthcare settings including nursing home, hospital, and a home for adults w/ intellectual disabilities. I am more than willing to work with kiddos with various medical challenges. I love arts and crafts, and would love to do hands on activities with the kids I get to take care of! Reading is my favorite pastime; introducing your kiddos to new literary worlds is a goal of mine. I am willing to help out with housework and meal prep, or run errands! I have a car & can provide transportation for 3 little ones or 4 if one is of appropriate age to ride in the front seat. I can help with homework in most subjects up to a high school level. I’d love to be part of your kiddo(s) adventures! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Katelyn, and I’ve always had a passion for working with kids. I grew up in Ogden, Iowa, where I regularly babysat for families, helped out in daycare settings, and even helped organize and run a “Big Buddy” mentoring program for middle schoolers. Because of this, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and personalities, and I truly enjoy connecting with each one.

In high school, I completed an official Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course, which means I not only have past CPR certification but also hands-on training in basic life support and emergency care. This background gives me the confidence to handle high-stress situations calmly and responsibly.

Parents can feel at ease knowing their children are being cared for by someone who is not only experienced and dependable but also genuinely enjoys creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
