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, I'm Lianna! I'm a proud mom of four (ages 16, 11, 8, and 2) and have a deep passion for working with children of all ages. I truly enjoy helping little ones grow, learn, and reach important developmental milestones. In addition to my hands-on experience as a mother, I’ve worked at Four Oaks, where I was responsible for transporting and monitoring children in care. During this time, I completed training in trauma-informed care, giving me the tools to support children who have experienced abuse, been removed from their homes, or were exposed to substances in utero. I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every caregiving role, and I understand how important it is to create a safe and nurturing environment for kids to thrive. I’d love the opportunity to bring that care into your home!
