Find experienced babysitters in Ames, IA

Hi! I’m Kinsey, an Elementary Education major at Iowa State University and future teacher 😊 I have experience working with children in classrooms, camps, substitute teaching, and as a lead teacher in an infant room, so I’m very comfortable caring for all ages and managing multiple children while keeping routines calm and structured but fun. I love planning activities beyond screens such as crafts, outdoor play, reading time, learning games, and local outings. I’m dependable, organized, and patient. I balance fun and expectations so kids feel comfortable while still listening and staying safe. I’m available full time May through August and looking for a consistent summer position. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, transportation, and keeping kids engaged during the day while parents work. Families often like having an education major because I can support reading, writing, and learning throughout the summer so kids stay active and confident going into the next school year. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit for your family!

As a senior in elementary and special education I have had my fair share of experiences working with children. I have had many opportunities to care for and help child succeed in multiple settings. I have nannied for six years and would love to continue working with children as much as I can.

I love being a sitter because caring for children feels meaningful to me, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe, understood, and supported. I have hands-on experience from working as a summer camp counselor, where I supervised groups of children, balanced different ages and needs, and kept them engaged through daily activities. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and I’ve also helped families with routines, transportation, and general in-home support. I bring patience, warmth, and strong communication to every role, along with skills in multitasking, organizing schedules, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m attentive, gentle under pressure, reliable with transitions, and always focused on helping both children and parents feel supported.
