A little bit about me

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!
