A little bit about me

I am a 19 year old who loves children! I just graduated college and am looking to peruse a career in helping kids. I do want to be a nurse one day, but not right now.
I lived with my two sisters and have helped watch them from when I was 12. So I’m pretty good with all ages! I have learned to cook from both of my parents and I also have just got a puppy so if your kid loves dogs I’d be happy to introduce my puppy to them!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Gillian Overturf and I'm currently a senior in high school! I love being around kids and I'm planning on being a pediatric nurse when I graduate college! I am CPR certified and I have my CNA so I'm able to perform first aid at a fairly high level. I love being outside and coming up with games to play and show kids new experiences that, hopefully, they'll value as they grow up.

A little bit about me

I’m 65 years old and very active. I’ve worked in school districts for 30 years as an interpreter for the deaf. I have 3 children and 8 grandchildren, 2 who live here in Ankeny. I’m looking for summer work only as I still work for the schools during the year. I’m a Christian and enjoy interacting with children, playing with them and leading as a good example to them. I love gardening and being outside, doing crafts, swimming, hiking and sports. I’ve never been a nanny. But I’m a parent, Nana, and have worked with deaf children and hearing children in the schools for over 30 years.
