I’m also comfortable managing routines, handling light household tasks, and ensuring a smooth evening or day for both children and parents.

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 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!

Hi, my name is Bailey and I have a passion for caring for youth! From a young age I started doing volunteer babysitting at my church and loved it. When it was time for me to get my first job in high school I knew it needed to be with kids and began nannying. I later went on to work at a childcare center and soon became the leader of the site. My favorite part of working with youth is watching them learn independence in a loving and nurturing environment, and when the dialogue changes from “I need help with this” to “look what I can do now!” A Little About Me: I love being outside and working with my hands. In my free time you would see me with my friends and family or walking my dog. I love crafting and repurposing old items as well! My most recent hobby I picked up is crocheting! I can’t wait to get to know you and your kiddo(s)!!
