Meet Carole

I have years of experience caring for children and supporting busy families. Since April 2023, I have worked as a nanny and household manager for a private family in Waukee, caring for two children who were 4 and 7 years old when I began working with them. They are now 8 and 11. I am a natural nurturer who genuinely enjoys creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for children. My responsibilities have included providing attentive care, planning age-appropriate play and learning activities, transporting children to school and activities, preparing simple meals, doing laundry, and helping keep the household organized. I also coordinate schedules, run errands, assist with appointments, and take pride in anticipating a family’s needs before they arise. My goal is to make each family’s day a little easier and better so that when parents get home, they can spend less time worrying about household tasks and more Read more time enjoying meaningful, quality time together as a family. I have also cared for a brand-new baby from infancy until she was 3 years old, along with providing childcare for other families throughout my career. Previously, I operated TLC On Call Nanny & Caregiver, providing childcare and caregiving services. My healthcare experience at MercyOne, supporting Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and NICU, has also given me valuable experience working in environments where compassion, patience, and attention to detail are essential. I am dependable, nurturing, organized, and passionate about helping children thrive while making life easier for their parents. I’m looking for a wonderful family where I can build a trusting, lasting relationship and become a valued part of their lives.
