A little bit about me

I have loved babysitting/childcare since I was 13, and I've nannied for a handful of families- ages ranging from 0-12! I'm looking for a part-time position for the evenings and/or weekends. I work full time as a coffee roaster in Ames but I can be off by 3 p.m. for school pickup if needed! I drive a Toyota Highlander so I have plenty of room in my car, and I have a clean driving record, I have no speeding tickets or accidents. As a babysitter, I prioritize outdoor time (weather permitting) and creative games/activities that are fun and educational. My instincts are to create a bond and relationship with children over rules and regulations but I am willing to adapt to your parenting style. I understand that it's not easy inviting a stranger into your home to care for what is most precious to you, but I assure you that my biggest priority is making your family feel comfortable and your children feel loved.
