Hello, I am currently a senior at Norwalk High-school and I am enrolled in many classes at DMACC. I plan to major in early childhood education, potentially special education. I’ve worked at daycares for about 2 years now, and I love every minute of it. I believe it is so important that we make every child feel that they are loved and that they matter. I work with ages ranging from 3months to 10yrs, I also work in special education often. I love every minute of it and just being able to make kids feel safe in the time that they aren’t with there parents or caretakers. A normal day for me includes preparing snacks, helping with homework, playing outside with older kids, being down on the ground with babies, changing diapers, cleaning, preparing food(whether that be food or a bottle), organizing activities and so much more. I also have grown up with pets and am a really big animal lover and would be willing to pet sit as well.😊

Hi! I’m Shay. I grew up in Ames, Iowa and spent many years playing competitive club soccer in Ankeny, which helped shape my love for staying active and working with kids. I later became the captain of my college soccer team, which taught me leadership, teamwork, and responsibility—qualities I bring into my caregiving style. I’m an energetic, positive caregiver who enjoys creating a fun, safe environment where kids can be themselves. I love getting kids outside, playing games, going to parks, and finding creative ways to keep them engaged and moving. I also enjoy quieter activities like reading together, crafts, and helping with homework. Families often describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when caring for children, and I always communicate clearly with parents so they feel comfortable and informed.

Experienced, patient, and creative caregiver with a background in team leadership and client service. I bring warmth, structure, and fun to every home I support. Skilled with children of all ages, pets, and household coordination. With 6+ years of experience as a trusted dog sitter in San Francisco and now Des Moines, I’ve built a strong reputation for being reliable, loving, and detail-oriented. I bring that same care and attention to working with young children and seniors. Whether I’m creating fun, structured routines for toddlers, providing calm companionship for older adults, or managing pet care and household tasks, families know they can count on me. I’m organized, warm, and safety-focused — always aiming to create a supportive, joyful environment for everyone in the home.
