Hello, my name is Lilly. I am 21 years old and I live in Ames with my fiance. I am currently looking for weekend babysitting jobs to help save money and save for a wedding in 2027.

I’m a Communications Major at Iowa State University with plenty of childcare experience looking for a consistent afternoon / after school family babysitting job.

I have worked with various ages of children for over 20 years. I love to interact with children and watch them learn through play. There are various ways of interacting with children whether it be through reading stories, playing with toys or simply talking. I have taught preschool for various years as well and love teaching the children some milestones in their learning. I am flexible , responsible and reliable. I also have a degree in elementary education as well as CPR and First Aid certified.

For the past four years, I've been passionate about bringing joy and providing attentive care to children. My experiences working as a daycare assistant teacher have inspired me to positively impact and support families by offering dependable childcare services for a more one-on-one experience with children. I'm at ease looking after as many as three children of any age group, ranging from babies to pre-teens. I'm patient and composed, and I love involving kids in all sorts of activities and experiences. I currently attend college for HDFS. Additionally, I'm certified in both CPR and First Aid. I consistently adhere to the parents' guidelines when it comes to enforcing household rules. I keep parents informed at pickup time, or give frequent updates through text or phone calls, and honor your chosen method of communication. I have my own transportation, and I'm excited about the chance to foster a stimulating and secure environment for your children.

My name is Rylee and I have been babysitting all ages of children since I was about 12 years old. I am majoring in architecture at Iowa State. I love children and babies because they have the most unique perspectives on life. I like fostering a safe place for kids to develop and learn. I have babysat babies from newborn to toddler age, for full day and night periods. I regularly watch two children at once (a toddler and seven year old) and have experience watching up to six elementary-aged kids at once. I have led my own summer art class for elementary-aged students and taught classes at my local art center. I also have experience tutoring third and fourth graders. I am open to tutoring and helping with homework if the kids need it. I was a lifeguard at a country club for two years. I was trained and certified in first aid and CPR, but I did not renew the certification. I am good at learning schedules and can adapt to any style of the care the parents wish. I think babysitting is one of the most rewarding jobs because even when the kids are having a bad day, you get to be a support for them. I think it is important to teach children emotional intelligence and help them navigate big feelings. In my experience, babysitting is not always easy, but always gratifying.
