Find experienced nannies in Glenwood, IA

Hi, I'm Abby! With over 8 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter, I’m passionate about creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for children. Although I have a degree in Business Management and experience in store management, my true calling has always been working with kids. As the oldest of four sisters and a Nebraska native, I’ve been caring for children most of my life and genuinely love it. I recently wrapped up my position as a Bridal Store Manager and am now available for part-time nannying or occasional babysitting. I’m expecting my first baby at the end of June and am looking to support families during this special season before becoming a mom myself. While I’m allergic to cats, I have three dogs of my own and am comfortable with pet-sitting for other furry friends. I have my own reliable transportation and am happy to drive as needed. I love planning creative activities, taking fun little field trips, and keeping kids engaged in ways that feel both enriching and enjoyable. References are available upon request—I’d love the opportunity to care for your children!

*Background check available to be sent upon request* Working with children and gaining their (and their parent's!) trust is a huge privilege. It's an honor to work with families and teach, lead, and inspire kids to become their best selves. I love developing relationships with children and watching as their personalities develop, and their resilience and confidence grow. I have been providing childcare since I was 14 years old and have been working as a full-time nanny since the beginning of the year for a sweet little girl. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and elementary aged children. I have also worked with children in a professional setting as a case manager and child advocate. In this role I worked with children to make sure their physical and emotional needs were being met, and I also promoted normalcy and play while the children were living at a shelter. I planned and led many weekly activities, events, and holiday celebrations for the children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have received gold standard training from the Center on Children, Family and the Law which focused on many topics such as child development and safe sleep. I am excited to work with families one on one and help them in feel confident and at peace about their childcare!
