In that time, I have experienced working with children with special needs. I have worked with families with multiple children. I have served families in all situations from foster to adopt as well as divorced parents and single parents. I've helped with toilet independence. I've helped with developmental delays. I've helped with kindergarten prep.

If there's a situation I've not experienced, I'd love to learn more about it.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I've been babysitting since the 1990s, but I don't put babysitting experience with nanny experience, because they are two different tasks.

I've also worked in daycares but find serving families as a nanny much more rewarding and enjoyable.

My experience with special needs children...

Mainly, the children with whom had special needs were on the autistic spectrum. While there is a range of challenges, my experiences were helping them with sensory integration, helping them through overstimulating situations, and helping them through expressing emotions verbally.

Babysitter Available in Ames, IA: Ava T.

Hi! I come from a family of five kids and I was the oldest so from a young age I took care of them. I love to do activities with kids as well as help them with whatever they need. Back home I also used to babysit and nanny throughout many years of my life. One of the biggest things for me is keeping kids safe and to have fun! I will be honest, if kids are taking naps I am one who likes to tidy up the home, it is an old habit that I hope never dies. I am currently a student at Iowa State University and work as a casual employee at Northcrest Community as a Dietary Aide but, I am always willing to be flexible. I can either be a part-time nanny or a babysitter!
