I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Fatuma M.

- 10 miles
Hello, my name is Fatuma. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to make a positive impact in a child's life while offering parents some much-needed peace of mind. It's rewarding to watch kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I enjoy the creativity involved in planning activities, whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or helping with homework. There's something special about building trust with both the kids and parents, knowing I can make their day a little easier and more enjoyable. I have 4 years of babysitting experience working with children of various ages, from infants to school-age kids. Over the years, I’ve gained skills in everything from creating fun and educational activities to handling bedtime routines, preparing snacks, and providing gentle discipline when necessary.

I currently work full time at the hospital, but I’m looking for a full time babysitting/nanny job as I will be starting school at Kirkwood in August and working at the hospital during that time is not ideal. I love working with kids, helping with day to day tasks, and playing with them!

Hello! I’m a 20 year old who has had a love for kids sense I was a teen. I started out babysitting my own siblings and then extended family and family friends. I have several years of experience in paid babysitting from families that I can give as references. I also nannied all summer a couple of years ago for 2 kids ages 7 and 9. I have tons of driving experience. I have worked with ages 0-12 a ton. The last 4 years I’ve been mostly working with ages 0-2, 2-5, and some elementary ages. I absolutely love working with 1-3 kids vs a daycare setting as it allows me to connect with them more and do things catered more to what they desire. I love running errands if you need someone to go grocery shopping for you, transporting kids to swimming lessons or sports, going to the park, trampoline parks, or any other activities. I don’t mind picking up toys, folding laundry, helping with things around the house, cooking meals, baking desserts with kids, etc. I am currently a Lead 4 and 5 year old teacher and onsite supervisor at my current job with preschool kids. I’m not the preschool teacher, I’m the wrap around care teacher who provides structure, play with a purpose, and more learning while the kids are not currently at preschool! I am CPR and First Aid certified for infant, child, and adult. I’ve been certified for the last 4 years! I have several other childcare trainings as well. A little more about me! My favorite age I’ve worked with probably has to be age 3! I love all ages, but working with 3s and watching them grow and develope so much in just 1 year was incredible and so rewarding for me! I also have experience being a lead teacher with the 2 year old classroom at one of my past jobs. I absolutely love to be silly and do activities with kids! I think I dislike being bored just as much as they do which helps all of us! I love painting, coloring, riding bikes, playing with chalk, bubbles, you name it. I also love me a good dance party with any age! I have several pets at home and have grown up with so many different kinds as well. I’m a huge dog and cat lover. I also have pet birds and a rabbit of my own. One of my favorite activities in nice weather is walking outside or riding a bike. Being in nature is wonderful! I also enjoy making bracelets and working with clay. I take spin wheel pottery classes every now and then for fun. I take so much pride and confidence in what I do and all that I’ve learned in the childcare industry. I am always learning!
