A little bit about me

My name is Alyssa Eilers, in June I will be moving out to Ames, IA and i’m on the search for a job! I’m very interested in working with kids and I heard about nannying. I have never actually Nannied before for anyone but I have experience with children. I have 3 brothers whose ages very and 2 sisters! I’ve gotten the opportunity to watch every single one of them (I am the oldest.) I have also gotten opportunities to work with kids who are in school. Almost everyday at the moment, I get the chance to go volunteer in a kindergarten class, I love hearing about kids’ weekends, helping them with math, reading, anything! I absolutely love working with kids of all ages! Also throughout my High School career, I had a CPR training class as well!
