A little bit about me
My name is Molly and I am seeking an immediate full time “live-out” nannying position. I plan on attending Drake University in the fall of 2025 and previously worked at a great child care center in Ames where I worked closely with the director as I assisted her in the classroom. Prior to that I have baby sat for various families to children ages ranging 8 months-9 years old. I love children and understand that each child’s needs are different. Please feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me
Hello. 😊
I am the eldest of a six sibling household. I have been a helper caretaker of a home and children for awhile now. In the summer of 2019 I was a part time nanny for an eight year old girl and absolutely loved it. I know how to be firm, listen and nurture; and I care very deeply for children and they’re well-being.
