A little bit about me

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.

Jenna S. - Seeking Work in Ames

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.
