A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Charlotte. I am a 19 year old freshman at Iowa State, and I pride myself on being a reliable and flexible babysitter. I have five years of experience working with children. I offer babysitting services for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I have experience with children 3 weeks-14 years.

I am actively involved in my local church, where I volunteer up to four days a week. I work in the nursery, tending to newborns through age three, as well as assisting with youth programs for children aged three through grade eight. This has provided me with valuable experience in leading groups of children, both independently and with assistance.

Spending time with kids brings me joy, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. My goal is to assist parents by providing the support they need for their children's care.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Adrienne, and I am a senior at Iowa State. My major is Human Development and Family Studies. I am looking for more experience with children before I graduate this Spring. A few years after graduation, I am going back to school to work towards my master’s in Social Work and become a Social Worker specializing in children with special needs. I also would like to point out that I have my lab practicum this semester, so I am experiencing more care of toddlers with the lab school teachers.
