More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I previously have babysat for local families in High school. I worked at a summer camp the last 2 summers as a cabin leader (ages 2-16), I also volunteer at my church with day care for infants and 2/3 year olds, and I have worked at Ames Community Preschool (ages infancy-5yrs) since January of 2025!
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love going on walks to local parks, baking, cooking for them, and playing fun games indoor/outdoor!
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part about being a nanny is creating a space where a child feels genuinely safe, seen, and supported. It’s less about managing a schedule and more about building trust—being the person who listens closely, celebrates small victories, and offers steady guidance on the harder days. To me, being a nanny means showing up with patience, empathy, and consistency, and helping children grow into confident, curious people who know they are cared for.
My experience with special needs children...
I have babysat a toddler with Down syndrome in high school and he was so loving and kind!

Babysitter Available in Ames, IA: Grace H.
Hi! My name is Grace and I am 21 years old. I’m from West Des Moines but I live in Ames. I would have been a senior at Iowa State this year but I took a year off to figure out what I am actually passionate about. I will be going to DMACC in the fall to finish prerequisites to hopefully get into a radiology program next year! I have always loved being around kids and getting to know them! I have minimal experience with childcare as a job but I have been around kids/taking care of them my whole life. I’m the oldest sibling and oldest cousin so I have always been the one responsible for the younger kids! I was a volunteer briefly at Cornerstone church in Ames that helped in the nursery. I worked with ages 2-4. I have a drivers license and a reliable car. I can help with light housework and meal prep. I also love animals so pets are not a problem with me! I look forward to getting to know your family and kids!!
