While I haven't worked as a traditional babysitter, I have over three years of experience working with children as a dance instructor for Tippi Toes. I taught classes for children ranging from 18 months to 9 years old, leading classes within local preschools as well as community programs. My role involved creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment while managing groups of children with different personalities and needs. This experience helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to keep children entertained while ensuring their safety. I'm comfortable supervising young children, leading age-appropriate activities, and helping them feel comfortable, confident, and supported. I'm excited to provide families with dependable, attentive, and caring childcare.

I currently have babysitting openings. I’m available Monday–Friday, weekends can be arranged as well. Available all shifts. I’m located in Bettendorf. I am willing to do pick up/drop offs. I’m a 22-year-old college student entering my final year of my bachelor’s degree this fall (fully online). I have years of experience caring for children from previously helping my mom run her in home daycare (from age 13-18). Since 18, I’ve been a Direct Support Professional caregiver for intellectually disabled adults (5+ years). Childcare will be provided in my home, which is equipped with nanny cameras for parents’ peace of mind. I also have a fully fenced backyard where kids can safely play outside. I am First Aid/CPR certified!A quick note about my dog: 🐶 I do have a very friendly, gentle, and kid-loving dog in the home. However, if it makes you or your family more comfortable, I’m more than happy to keep my dog kenneled or separated during childcare hours. Your child’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities!Feel free to send me a message with any questions. I’d love to chat! 💕

My name is Emily T, and I am a student at University of Iowa studying biochemistry on the pre pharmacy track. I am passionate about healthcare, science, and building meaningful connections with others through supportive and service oriented work. Through my academic studies and professional experiences, I have developed strong communication, teamwork, and problem solving skills that allow me to work effectively in fast paced environments. A large part of my background has involved working with and caring for children. Having grown up helping care for younger family members and children within my community, I became comfortable taking on responsibilities such as supervising activities, assisting with daily routines, and creating a safe and positive environment. I also gained paid babysitting experience where I learned the importance of patience, reliability, and adaptability while balancing the needs of both children and parents. These experiences strengthened my ability to stay organized, communicate clearly, and handle responsibilities independently. In addition to childcare experience, I have worked in customer service and other public-facing roles that have helped me become professional, dependable, and attentive to others’ needs. I enjoy working in team oriented environments, learning new skills, and contributing positively wherever I work. As I continue pursuing my career goals in pharmacy and healthcare, I am seeking opportunities that will allow me to grow professionally, gain hands on experience, and continue making a positive impact in the communities I serve.

I have always loved being around children. I would volunteer myself to help take care of my younger sibling and all of my younger cousins. I have been enforced to take education as a first priority and thrive from helping others learn. There is nothing more fulfilling then knowing I am assisting in the positive growth of our children. From observing my mom, who is a full-time nanny, I have learned to focus on providing children with creative outlets that don’t involve excessive screen time. Art is a hobby that I partake in when I need to relax from school and I remember being at my most productive whenever I was allowed to be abstract.
