Hi! My name is Erin, and I’m a student at Iowa State in Ames, majoring in Interior Design. Alongside my studies, I’ve always had a passion for working with kids. In high school, I regularly babysat a group of three to seven children after school once a week, and I also provided summer care for many of the same families. Most of my experience is with children ages 4–9, though I have also cared for toddlers (18 months+) in my church nursery. In addition, I’ve spent time helping in my mom’s special education classroom, which has given me experience working with children who have special needs. I bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every babysitting job, and I truly love creating a fun and safe environment for kids.

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!

With 5 years of experience with working in a daycare, my love for working with kids and helping them grow has they emerge through adolescence has only continued to grow. In addition, last summer I was a full time nanny! I have done everything and in between! I started babysitting when I was 14, and still do it as a 19 year old. I have worked with all ages at the daycare, but particularly enjoy the toddler age. Feel free to contact me for interviews or for references!

Hi! My name is Kamryn, and I have been babysitting for over 5 years. During that time, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and I truly enjoy being part of their growth and daily adventures. My experience has taught me how important it is to combine patience, structure, and fun so kids feel safe, supported, and engaged. Whether I’m helping with homework, preparing meals, reading bedtime stories, or organizing creative activities like arts and crafts, I make it my mission to create a positive and nurturing environment. I’m also comfortable managing routines, handling light household tasks, and ensuring a smooth evening or day for both children and parents. Families can count on me to be responsible, dependable, and communicative. I take pride in being someone parents trust and kids enjoy spending time with. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely love doing.

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.
