Find an after school nanny in Winterset, IA

Hello.. Taking care of others is my passion. I am a semi retired grandmother looking to lend a helping hand. I worked my dream job as an innkeeper at a 8 room bed n breakfast in Newport Rhode Island. The owner sold the business and I moved back to Iowa to take care of my aging mother .

Hello, I am currently a senior at Norwalk High-school and I am enrolled in many classes at DMACC. I plan to major in early childhood education, potentially special education. I’ve worked at daycares for about 2 years now, and I love every minute of it. I believe it is so important that we make every child feel that they are loved and that they matter. I work with ages ranging from 3months to 10yrs, I also work in special education often. I love every minute of it and just being able to make kids feel safe in the time that they aren’t with there parents or caretakers. A normal day for me includes preparing snacks, helping with homework, playing outside with older kids, being down on the ground with babies, changing diapers, cleaning, preparing food(whether that be food or a bottle), organizing activities and so much more. I also have grown up with pets and am a really big animal lover and would be willing to pet sit as well.😊

I love taking care of kids and I am excited to care for more. I helped run a Sunday school program for toddler-age children to elementary age kids for two years. For the past two years, I have been one of the leaders for a youth program for middle school and high school children. I have run a few other programs for elementary to high school students with good success. I have also done a few other caregiving opportunities for neighbors both with pets and children.

My name is Layanna, and I am a fun, caring 23-year-old that just moved back after completing my B.A. at UC Santa Barbara. I was part of the volleyball team and the track team. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and would love to support a family. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I nannied for two summers for a family back home and truly valued that experience. Spending time outdoors, staying active, and doing arts and crafts with kids are some of my favorite things. In California, I also took care of a family of three while running errands for the mom and helping with cleaning around the household. My top priority is always making sure your child feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Caregivers have a big influence on children, and I do my best to lead by example. I bring a nurturing spirit and would love the opportunity to meet your family’s needs.
