I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months

Suzanne C., Nanny in Des Moines, IA 50310 with 10 years of paid experience

I have been watching children in some fashion since I was 11 years old (26 years). I have been a nanny for a family in the past and it was a great experience. I have watched children from infancy into their teens and have no issues with watching multiple children at the same time. I am very organized and like to keep children occupied with activities with minimal screen time. I have two nieces and a nephew (all siblings) that I have watch since birth and still watch frequently. Their ages vary from 10 months to 7 years old. When I am watching them, I have one child home all day, one child home half days, and the eldest has school all day. This requires being able to keep the day organized and a good routine going.

Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have spent many years helping with my niece. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work with 3-6 and 7-12 year olds mostly. I grew up helping at camp with at risk kids, I am a success coach with those kids as well. As a success coach I work with kids who aren’t having the best of times. I help them understand why they are upset and how we can work through this to have a better days. I am verified in mental health awareness for children. Running around and having a huge amount of energy is what I expect and love to have fun!

Grace M., Nanny in Des Moines, IA 50310 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Grace and I am seeking a long-term nanny job in the Portland area. My hours can be extremely flexible to fit your schedule. I have my own car for transportation, I am CPR certified and a non-smoker. I have a college degree and can help with homework if necessary. Any pets will be well-loved, I promise. Cooking/cleaning is no problem as well. I have experience educating children through a college program I was apart of called Science Explorations! We focused on encouraging young girls to get involved with STEM topics. I also have medical training through working at a hospital as a CNA. My favorite part about working with kids is getting them active and creative! Although I am new to being a nanny specifically, I have had lots of babysitting experience and classroom experience with kids. Please reach out if you think I could be a good fit for your family! :)
