Hi! Iβm Cheyenne, a dependable and caring childcare provider with hands-on experience caring for infants and young children. Iβm a mom to a 1-year-old and currently work as an Assistant Toddler Teacher, so creating safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environments comes naturally to me. Iβm confident with routines like feeding, diapering, naps, and play-based learning, and I always follow family preferences closely. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and reliable, and I truly enjoy helping children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

Hi! My name is Katelyn (I prefer Kameron) Manning, I have worked in child care for the past 3 years. I've worked with ages of 6 weeks to 6 years. When I was working in my last child care center I was creating lesson plans, carrying out instruction, working in small and large groups, as well as coming up with fun and engaging activities for the kids to do throughout the day. I have babysat for a few different families, working with anywhere from 1 child all the way to 5 children at a time (ranging in ages). I have experience working with kids with special needs (primarily autism). I hold my CPR, and first aid certificate, as well as being a licensed CNA. I'm currently enrolled at the University of Iowa studying speech and hearing sciences. Overall I just love working with kids, and I hope to be someone that can help both parents and children grow and succeed.
