Sittercity helps Ames families find the best babysitters

I am a student at Iowa State University studying psychology. I have 2 years of experience babysitting privately for a neurodivergent child and 1 year of experience as a tutor for elementary school aged children! After school, I am planning on becoming a counselor for children. I am CPR, AED, and First Aid certified as well. I am reliable, patient, and a clear communicator and problem solver. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

I am currently at Iowa State University, majoring in human development and family studies with a minor in psychology. I have loved working with kids since I was young, and I have been babysitting for the past 6 years. I am currently a part-time nanny for a 12-year-old, and I also work mainly in the infant room at Childserve in Ames. I have a great passion for kids, and I am comfortable with pretty much anything, including pets. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I would love to care for your kids!

Hello! My name is Stefanie, and I'm 22 years old with over three years of professional experience working in a daycare setting and nannying. During that time, I had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from infants to preschoolers. I was the head of the infant department at the daycare I worked at for one year before I moved up to work with the 2-year-olds and became the lead. I am CPR certified. I also completed my state-mandated training for childcare settings through online courses from lowa State. My time in childcare has given me a strong toundation in creating nurturing, safe, and engaging environments for children. I would love the chance to bring my skills, energy, and passion for childcare to your family. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about how I can help meet your family's needs! Best regards, Stefanie

Hi I am Britten. I am in college at the University of Kansas. I am majoring in Pre-nursing. I am from Iowa but looking to look out for some little toddlers in Kansas City - Lawrence area.

Hi, my name is Bailey and I have a passion for caring for youth! From a young age I started doing volunteer babysitting at my church and loved it. When it was time for me to get my first job in high school I knew it needed to be with kids and began nannying. I later went on to work at a childcare center and soon became the leader of the site. My favorite part of working with youth is watching them learn independence in a loving and nurturing environment, and when the dialogue changes from “I need help with this” to “look what I can do now!” A Little About Me: I love being outside and working with my hands. In my free time you would see me with my friends and family or walking my dog. I love crafting and repurposing old items as well! My most recent hobby I picked up is crocheting! I can’t wait to get to know you and your kiddo(s)!!

Hi! My names is Julie and I’m looking for a babysitter/ nanny job. I love working with kids and have never had a bad experience caring for them. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 12 and consider it something I’m very passionate about.

For as long as I can remember I have always been the on call babysitter for friends and family! I have been watching children aged three months old to six years old for around four years. I have most recently been watching my niece and nephew (two under two) very frequently, and love it! I have just moved to Ames in the past weeks, and I’m hoping to keep working in childcare! Childcare, and children is something I’ve always adored, and am hoping to make a career out of it through education and real life experience!

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and nurturing, and I know how to manage behavior in a positive and respectful way. I am a very out going and happy person. My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.

Caring for kiddos is such a fun experience and I am always honored to be trusted as a safe person in someone’s “village.” I pay great attention to detail and truly focus on caring for the children the exact way their parent(s) want them cared for. I am outgoing and passionate, and prioritize connecting with each kid I care for. I have experience with children ages newborn all the way up to preteens and early teens. I have experience with twins of various ages, children with ADHD and on the autism spectrum, and up to 5 children at a time!
