Providing Van Meter IA Nannies

“Hello, my name is Adriana and I am originally from Colombia. Currently residing in Iowa, I am actively seeking a Nanny position with a wonderful family. With extensive experience working with infants to young adults, I also have a fondness for animals. The reason I have chosen to pursue a career as a Nanny, over any other profession, stems from my previous positive experiences as an Au-Pair. Having served in various childcare roles for over 3 years, I can confidently say that I am deeply passionate about what I do. Aside from childcare, I am also willing to take on household tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, and light cleaning. Describing myself in five adjectives, I would say that I am trustworthy, honest, hardworking, outgoing, and loving. In terms of daily activities, I aim to incorporate walking, play dates, reading, arts and crafts, dancing, and swimming into the family's routine. Ideally, the perfect family I am seeking would be loving, caring, and respectful in nature.”

The reason I have chosen to pursue a career in childcare as a Nanny, above any other occupation, is simply because I derive immense joy from working with children. Throughout the course of four years, I have accumulated valuable experience in various childcare roles and can genuinely express my passion for this profession. I perceive children as precious gifts. My ultimate objective as a Nanny is to be an exceptional caregiver and an integral part of the family I serve. I am open to performing household duties such as assisting with homework, providing transportation to and from activities, accompanying children to medical appointments, and preparing meals. If I were to describe myself using five adjectives, I would say that I am charismatic, intelligent, honest, diligent, and a well-rounded individual. As part of the daily routine, I would love to incorporate visits to the library and engaging in after-school activities for the family I care for. Should I describe the ideal family seeking a Nanny like me, I envision a family that exudes warmth, cherishes their children, and consistently prioritizes their well-being.”

“I was raised in London and relocated to the United States in 1987. Currently, I am happily married with a daughter. For more than 18 years, I have been dedicated to working as a nanny, as it is a profession that allows me to positively impact children's lives one at a time. Being in the company of children brings me immense joy, and I possess qualities such as calmness, organization, conscientiousness, and the ability to take initiative. My decision to pursue a career as a nanny over any other profession can be summarized in one sentence: it is the individual attention and care I can provide to both the child and their family that I find incredibly fulfilling. I believe that children are precious gifts deserving of love and nurturing. As a nanny, my objective is to always give my best, create a stable and loving environment for the child under my care, and help ease the parents' responsibilities. Additionally, I am willing to assist with housekeeping duties, including laundry, tidying up bedrooms and play areas, meal preparation, and dishwashing. My daily plan for the family I work with would incorporate activities such as engaging in story time, organizing outings, reading books, arranging play dates, and visiting the playground. If I were to describe the ideal family searching for a nanny like me, I would hope they value honesty and open communication, allowing us to address any concerns together.

“I am an enthusiastic, reliable, and nurturing individual who has a deep love for children. I thrive in high-energy environments and have a strong ability to keep up with any demands. Coming from a close-knit family that prioritizes children, I understand the importance of their well-being. As the youngest of three siblings, I have been caring for my nine-month-old nephew since his birth in late November 2008. Prior to this, I had a taste of the corporate world but realized that my true passion lies in being around children. My ultimate goal is to provide exceptional care and build a bond with a wonderful child, facilitating their growth and development to the best of my abilities. If I were to summarize in one sentence the reason why I chose to pursue a career as a nanny, it would be because I have an innate desire to be around children and help them learn and grow. Growing up, I was fortunate to have incredible siblings and a strong support system. Now, I aspire to be that person for someone else. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I can confidently say that I am deeply passionate about what I do. Children, in my opinion, are the most remarkable beings on this planet. As a nanny, my objective is to enrich their lives, instill gratitude for their abilities, and aid them in acquiring knowledge. I am also willing to assist with household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation, and tutoring. In terms of daily activities, I want to incorporate learning and tutoring in addition to outdoor and physical activities. The parents' preferences are of utmost importance to me. In an ideal scenario, the family seeking a nanny like myself would be loving and caring, allowing me to become a part of their family and supporting me in any way possible. I am here to serve as a role model for their children and be a friend to the parents. My aim is to be as helpful as I can in every aspect.”
