A little bit about me

I have babysat frequently but have yet to be a full time babysitter- I'd love too! I'm great with kids of all ages, for infants I may need a few tips and tricks to care for your child the best way possible.

I am a sophomore attending Iowa State and I'm on path to graduate with my bachelors of sociology in May of 2024! My end career goal would be a Pediatric Physicians Assistant.

Some classes I took in High school relevant to child care: Introduction to patient care, health sciences, parenting, public health, health, psychology, sociology. I was a lifeguard for all four years in high school! I got recertified in Basic Life Support on June 7th, 2021.

I will add I am a bartender on the weekends- I work at Aj's Ultra lounge. They are open Wed-Sat in the summer starting around 7pm, during the school year it's Thurs-Sat same time. I can cater to your schedule! I can take certain nights off if needed, I don't work every night but will need a week advance to take those certain days off.

A little bit about me

Hey!! My name is Belle and I’m very passionate about caring for children and families. I can help out with Housekeeping, Laundry, Tutoring, and Crafts. I have experience with all children from newborns, toddlers and kiddos some extra special needs. I would say I am very open minded and can apply any and all beliefs and practices into my care. Some things I personally like to implement (with the permission from parents of course!) are gentle parenting, meditation, and management of emotions. I’d love to help your family any way I can <3

learning for each child in my care. I have taught various ages infant to school age and have been a teacher associate for children with special needs.
