I have always loved being around children. I would volunteer myself to help take care of my younger sibling and all of my younger cousins. I have been enforced to take education as a first priority and thrive from helping others learn. There is nothing more fulfilling then knowing I am assisting in the positive growth of our children. From observing my mom, who is a full-time nanny, I have learned to focus on providing children with creative outlets that donโ€™t involve excessive screen time. Art is a hobby that I partake in when I need to relax from school and I remember being at my most productive whenever I was allowed to be abstract.

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 Nina. I graduated with a Bachelor in psychology and criminal justice from Simpson College in Iowa. I have been caring for children for 10 years as a babysitter and as the oldest of four siblings. The youngest now is 12. I have tons of experience with kiddos 13-18 year olds. I have experience with working with kiddos who were on the autistic spectrum. I have also volunteered for VBS and teaching at church for 3 years for kiddos ranging from 4-13 years old. I love being able to see all the kiddos I've watched over the years grow and continue to learn more about themselves! I love having fun with kiddos, but also staying safe and vigilant. I love watching Bluey, arts and crafts, listening to music, just dance, etc. I'm available on weekdays until 6:00 p.m., and I have the flexibility to work some weekend days. I am certified in CPR and basic first aid. I also know a little bit of ASL and Spanish, but not fluent. I am also okay with pet sitting if needed. I am happy to provide references if needed. I approach each child on an individual basis and can't wait to get to meet and help teach your children.
