A little bit about me
I have 10 months of hands-on experience working in a childcare center, where I cared for children ranging from just 8 weeks old to 5 years old. During that time, I’ve learned how to support each child’s unique needs and personality, and I truly enjoy being part of their growth and daily routines.
I love spending time playing, interacting, and building connections with children—whether that’s through games, reading, or simply making them feel safe and cared for. I’m very comfortable with diaper changes, feeding, and keeping a clean, organized environment, and I always make sure each child is happy and comfortable.
I’m patient, dependable, and able to stay calm through challenges, but what matters most to me is creating a warm, nurturing space where children feel secure, supported, and excited to learn and play

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emma, I’m 27 years old, and I’m a mom to two kids who have given me over 6 years of real-life childcare experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, gentleness, multitasking, and how important it is for children to feel safe, understood, and cared for.
I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids.. whether that’s helping with routines, playing, doing creative activities, or simply being a calm and supportive presence in their day. I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, and I treat every child with the same care and kindness I would want for my own.
I’m dependable and easy to communicate with, and I love creating an environment where children feel comfortable, happy, and emotionally supported.

A little bit about me
Hi,
my name is Thijin Bol; i am 27 and i live in Des moines, IA. I don’t have a lot of childcare paid jobs that I can referred to, however growing up African we are raised to raise our younger siblings, my grandmother ran a daycare since I was 10 years old; I help her take care of the kids and cook for them until I went off to college. I worked as a care giver before moving to new york in 2015 and i’m back now doing the same work, I just realized that I am basically a babysitter/nanny for adults. I ask myself why not become a full-time nanny instead of being a care giver, it’s a similar line of work. I love taking care of people and kids. I am a model and a fashion designer, i moved back home to focus on my fashion line while also making a live for myself not just making a living like i was in new york.
I hope reading this will make a family want to hear more of my story,
thank you!
