A little bit about me

I love kids and I'm very friendly and goofy!
I know cpr and I've been a certified babysitter since like 11 or 12 (I'm 18 now) I'm very active and I'm totally ok with pets! I have touretts but it should never be a problem, I don't have coprolalia (swearing tics) and most of my tics are just weird movements or funny noises :) I can meal prep and do house cleaning! I'm pretty organized too! I don't have a car or can drive due to my touretts but I am able to get around :)

My name is Molly and I am seeking an immediate full time “live-out” nannying position. I plan on attending Drake University in the fall of 2025 and previously worked at a great child care center in Ames where I worked closely with the director as I assisted her in the classroom.

A little bit about me

I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters. I’ve taken care of my 2 older disabled brothers my whole life. I’ve nannyed a little girl who was also disabled. So I am very aware of what to do in situations of melt downs. I love nannying and babysitting because with kids they don’t care who you are they just want to play and have someone be silly with them!
My availability is Monday-Friday any start time works really but I’d prefer to be off around 6pm
