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 am CPR certified and first aid certified. My goal is to give your kid(s) fun and entertainment while also keeping them safe and happy. I love doing arts and crafts and also playing sports. When it’s nice out I love to go on walks and bike rides but I also love to shoot hoops or play catch. As I’m helping you by watching the kids I can also help you with some household chores during downtime and I can also help with errands and driving kids to sports. If you only need a night out don’t worry I got you. If you need to be out later then the time you said, don’t worry I got you covered. I can cook basic meals with a side of veggies. I even know secret baking tips to hide veggies but still taste good. I know some fun spots that the kids will love to play at. If you give me a chance your kids will never say “ I’m bored”.
