A little bit about me
I'm an 20-year-old who is looking to help parents in need. As of right now I am a full time nanny for two young boys 2 and 5 but I am looking for a summer job. I have had multiple babysitting jobs with children between the ages of 3 months old to 10 years old. I'm willing to feed, bathe, tutor, potty train, and travel to new places with the kids. I'm sadly allergic to cats and some dogs as long as they don't shed a lot.

A little bit about me
I am currently 17 years old and will be starting my senior year this August. I have previously worked at a daycare and have worked as a babysitter for multiple families. I have a catering job where I work occasionally on the weekends. I am in many activities during the fall so my free time is very little, but throughout the rest of the year I am free much more. Especially in the summer.

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Ames, IA
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Ames, IA to take care of your children while school is out.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Ames, IA
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
