Hello! I am Lydia Seelhammer. I am currently a part-time student at the University of Iowa studying Linguistics, Communication Sciences & Disorders (Speech Path./Aud.), and Spanish. I will be graduating in May 2023. As for my experience in childcare, I have worked as a full-time summer nanny for three summers in Des Moines, IA. I have absolutely adored the families I have worked with and I have loved spending time with their kiddos. The first two summers I worked with a 4 & 6 year old (second summer: 5 & 7 years old). The oldest of the two kids had severe egg and nut allergies. I was trained with an EpiPen along with other allergy needs. The final summer I nannied for two neighboring families (5 children total) with ages ranging from 6 years old to 12 years old. One of the kiddos (age 10) was diagnosed with ASD. That Read more summer was filled with much more running, dropping off, and picking up of kiddos from various activities. I have spent days at the pool, hiking, running around at parks, arts & crafts, helping clean bedrooms, movie marathons on rainy days, tutoring, and much more. I also nannied for a family part-time with a 3-month-old and a 3-year-old, along with a second family with three kiddos with ages 2-7 years old. I have lots of experience with diaper changes and bottle feeding, along with introducing new foods and picky eaters! My most recent nannying position was for a family with a 5 month old. I was with them for about a year and a half before they moved. I have ample experience with kids of any age. I am an extremely outgoing person and would be great in any family setting. I can transport kids to practices, day camps, school, or other childcare if needed. I am available to assist with online school and any homework. I received my Babysitting and Child Care Certification in 2014 before working with various families back home. I was also a lifeguard for multiple summers back home, and with that I am CPR certified and First Aid certified. I am currently available for part-time hours or full-time hours. I look forward to hearing from you and I would love to chat on the phone or via Facetime to discuss any further details.
