UW-Stout: Early Childhood Education

04/03/2026

Hi! My name is Ava Gravunder, and I’m an experienced, caring nanny looking for a family to work with. I have 5 years of childcare experience with children from infants through school age, and I genuinely love spending time with kids and building meaningful, positive connections with them.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree in School Psychology, which helps me support children not only academically, but emotionally and socially as well. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and happy to provide references upon request.

I live in Menomonie and am willing to drive. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities and making sure kids feel safe, supported, and confident every day. I’d love to become a trusted and positive part of your family!

My name is Aubrey Swim, and I’m currently a sophomore at UW-Stout, majoring in Early Childhood Education. I’ll be available for babysitting or nannying starting May 18th/19th and can work flexible days and hours throughout the summer—except for July 25th through August 6th, when I’ll be out of town. I currently live in Eau Claire (about 25 minutes from Menomonie), but I’ll be moving to Menomonie on June 1st, so I’ll be local and easily accessible after that date. I have extensive experience working with young children, including babysitting my younger cousins over the years and currently working at the Child and Family Study Center on campus. I prefer working with children ages 3-6 and strive to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. My certifications include CPR/First Aid Certified, Abusive Head Trauma Prevention Training, Mandated Reporter Training, and Sleep Baby Safe Certified.
