A little bit about me

Hi I’m Lexi! I am a fourth year at Drake University. I have been working with kids since I was volunteering at a daycare in 7th grade. I have babysat/nannying from that point till I started college and then began working at The Boys and Girls Club of Central Iowa where I am certified in almost everything childcare related plus CPR and First Aide. I am also a double major in Kinesiology and Medical/Clinical Sciences so I am very experienced with the body and working with any kind of care. I am going on a mission trip beginning of June and do go home May 23 in Illinois, so I am trying my best to fill up some weekends until I leave!

A little bit about me

I graduated from valley high school in 2023, and have been working full time since. I have been in a few customer service jobs, but I think childcare is the most valuable field (for me) I have worked in. I enjoy interacting with children and not having it feel too much like work. I’m always open to helping out in any extra ways if I can, and I have lots of availability if something ever comes up.

A little bit about me

My name is Alayah, and right now I'm a pre-school assistant teacher at Quad City Montessori. I've been at QCMS for 3 years now and I've loved every bit of it. Unfortunately it's time for me to move on as I'm ready for a new challenge! I plan to move to Des Moines, IA in the middle of March to start a new job, but I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to get out of childcare fully. That being because I love being apart of kids lives and being that extra person to love and care for them! Any dates, nights out, weekend getaways, etc. I'm the person to call :)
