Hi! I'm Madison (23), a recent graduate with a B. A. in English and Education in Ames.I've been working with children my entire life! It started as caring for my four sisters who are 10+ years younger than me, then becoming a paid babysitter at age 13, and now being a summer nanny the last 4 years. I do have a resume!I'd describe myself as creative, thoughtful, sincere, and organized. I often create a summer bucket list with the kids and use that to create a tentative activity calendar so we are all on the same page! I love learning-based fun - going to the library, park, and pool, and cooking, baking, and crafting with them! Ultimately, I love to do things that bring the kids joy!I would be honored to be your caregiver!

Hi! My name is Teagan C! I'll be a sophomore at Iowa State next year and don't have class Monday, Wednesday, or Friday first semester, so looking for a part-time nanny job for those days! More about me :) I have over 4 years of childcare from working at a preschool, and nannying which I would be more than happy to provide references! I have also worked as a substitute paraprofessional helping out with special ed students in elementary schools. I am calm, patient, loving, and it's important to me to build a trust and connection with the family I help out! I love to be outside and go on fun adventures, but also always up for a chill day at home! My hometown is Eagan, Minnesota. But loved my first year at Iowa State! Please reach out if you're interested!
