Hello! I have 7+ years of experience working with children and growing into a career in early childhood education and professional childcare. I graduated from Iowa Western in May 2024 with my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Studies. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including working as a lead teacher in an infant classroom, and I am now working as a professional nanny.I truly love getting to know each child and watching them learn, grow, and discover the world around them. I believe children learn best through play, hands-on experiences, meaningful interactions, and having a caregiver who makes them feel safe, loved, and supported. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities and getting out of the house for adventures!Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and traveling. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you and your children can trust and feel comfortable with!

Hi! My name is Karilyn, and I have several years of experience babysitting for families, along with hands-on experience working at a daycare. Caring for children has always been something I'm passionate about, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and grow. One of my favorite ways to engage children is through arts and crafts, creative activities, and age-appropriate learning experiences that encourage curiosity and imagination. I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and positive encouragement as they develop new skills and confidence. This fall, I'll be starting college to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education, allowing me to further my knowledge and continue doing what I love. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with families and providing dependable, caring, and engaging childcare you can trust.
