Hi! My name is Savannah, I’m 18 and I grew up in a small town outside of Jefferson, IA. I have two younger siblings and I graduated class of 2025. I’ve worked in 3 different caregiver settings - my first one being in a daycare! I worked from 7:15a-12:40pm for almost a year, I was also getting school credits for it because the daycare was next to my school. I worked mainly in the toddler room - but also have experience with school age to newborn! I am also cpr certified! I worked in two assisted living facilities as well and gained lots of wisdom from my residents, but also got to connect with them and really got to know them!

I have 10 years of experience babysitting, 5 of those years I was in facilities. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as multiple other classes about childcare. I am energetic and always ready for something new!

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.

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.

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!
