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!
