My name is Alyson Perry and I will be a senior at Iowa State University studying elementary education next fall. I have summer camp and after-school care experience along with classroom teacher experience as a substitute teacher. I am looking for a summer nanny job!

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.

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.

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.

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!
