A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Echo, I am 22 yrs old and I live in Des Moines, IA. I am the oldest & only girl out of six boys- which I count as the majority of my nannying experience... I consider myself fun, energetic, communicative, & caring! I work at Scenic Route Bakery in DSM. Nannying seems like the perfect 2nd job for me- I love kids and they love me! I am passionate about letting children grow into their own personality through understanding their own humanity. Self-expression and reflection is essential in development, at all ages! I do my best to consciously resolve issues with emotional maturity and love helping others to do so as well. I have a flexible schedule as of right now, and of course I am going the extra mile to ensure that I am safe & healthy during this time, as I’m sure you all are, too. I look forward to the opportunity of nannying! Feel free to text, email, or message me on Facebook if interested.

A little bit about me

My name is Teegan and I am from a really small town known as Lamoni, Iowa. I graduated from cosmetology school in 2015, and worked in Kansas City, Missouri for a year and a half exploring that career until I moved to Anchorage, Alaska two years ago and started nannying! I recently just moved back to Iowa and would like start nannying here. I've been working with kids for as long as I can remember! I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children, yet can be firm at times if required. I enjoy bringing my love of art, outdoors, healthy foods, and exploration to children. Growing up I taught Sunday school classes at church, & I also directed the youth group for several years. I've also taken a shaken baby syndrome class, along with CPR classes throughout my baby sitting career as well. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling & enriched environment. I am an enthusiast and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your children!

A little bit about me

Hi!:) it's me, your new nanny! I am a 22 year old from Colorado raised under Christian values with hobbies of painting, swimming and anything that involves fun with a relaxing setting. I love animals, sports, and I am very active and very attentive, I also am always trying to stay ahead and on top. I adapt well to pretty much everything, I have 1 year of paid experience with toddlers, tweens & teenagers and can handle early elementary. When I was 20-21 I was a nanny for a lovely family with a 13 and a 11 year old but unfortunately have no reference as I moved and lost contact. I use to work for Merry Maids, so I’d like to say I clean very well:) including my own home, I am a clean freak!. I eat fairly healthy, I love to give fruit and good sources of proteins, and meal prep. i like to say I live a pretty healthy and active lifestyle. I can guarantee a perfect fit! I look forward to being your nanny!:)
