A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Abby. I am looking for a full time nanny position. I have been a veterinarian since 2002. I am looking to start my second career. I have a house call business that I started when my son was an infant. My schedule rotated fully around his needs. He is a teenager now, and I have the ability to work full time. I am choosing to apply for a nanny position as a seasoned mom. I wore my son in a baby carrier until he was walking in his own. His first sugar was his 1yr bday cake. I was a crunchy mom at first, and then we eventually became more ‘mainstream’ parents. My price per hour is $25-30 because I know I am worth it. I also still have student loans :-/, and I will need to purchase my own health insurance etc. Thank you for your time to read about me.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Ames, IA: Autumn B.

Hi! I'm Autumn Binkowski, a high school senior enrolled in college courses this year. As the eldest of six children, I have significant experience caring for young kids, having been babysitting for about 4-5 years. My hobbies include art and music—I've loved music my whole life and enjoy singing and dancing with children because it spreads happiness and smiles. I also enjoy reading, using games to teach, and having conversations with kids. Working with children brings me joy, especially when I see them learn something new. My empathy helps me understand their needs and feelings—I'm attentive to their emotional well-being and offer support when necessary. My energy, kindness, and honesty make me a dependable caregiver.

My experience as the oldest of six children, combined with my certifications and training, makes me a strong, caring, and dependable caregiver.

Babysitter Available in Ames, IA: Claire M.

Hello, I’m Claire and I’m a current student at Iowa State, but origionally from St. Louis, Missouri! I love working with kids and helping them grow as people while also having a fun time.

I love finding ways to connect with kids of all ages through play, adventures, and activities of all types!

Full-Time Nanny Available in Ames, IA: Caroline H.

I have been caring for kids since I was 17. I lived in a household that had 15 kids ranging from newborns to teenagers and had managed them all for years. I am a single mom of 5 kids, all of which are teenagers now. I graduated with a bachelor's in child, adult, and family services and have been working as a manager at Walgreens ever since. In recent years I've noticed my gravitation towards children and vice versa. The only perceived setback is the income in that industry.
I'm a hard worker, extremely reliable, dependable, trustworthy, honest, caring, and loving. I've got plenty of energy and patience. I believe in spending time teaching children and instilling core values such as kindness, critical thinking skills, self-esteem, honesty, and creativity. I don't believe in sitting a child in front of a screen as a means of care, especially if it's my paid job. I respect whatever religion (or non) dietary, or general lifestyle the family has even if it's different from my own.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Ames, IA: Jenna S.

Hi, I’m Jenna! I’ve been working as a full-time nanny for the past two years, but I’ve been babysitting since 2015. I have experience caring for children from infancy to 13 years old, including watching up to six kids at once. I’ve worked with a variety of family dynamics and have provided overnight care for infants.

I graduated this past May from Iowa State with a Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me valuable insight into child development. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while adapting to each family’s unique needs. I moved back to Minnesota (where I am from) and realized Ames is my home so I will be returning in September!

I also had the amazing opportunity to intern at a maternity home here in Ames to help mama's and their babies on their journey back to self-sufficiency.

I love working with people and creating a difference and providing support within their lives. I look forward to hearing from you!

In between careers but looking to nanny full-time while I navigate the transition.

Creativity is a big passion of mine, so a space to get crafty would be ideal. I'm a big advocate for screen-free time.
