I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

Hello my name is Natalia I do not have any professional certification or training with babysitting, but I do have experienced with taking care of my little sister and family members. I love children because they are funny and can lighten up your day. I love planning activates with them and going out so we wont be bored inside. I was going to Kirkwood to major in Medical Assistant but I don't have enough money so I decided to quite until I have enough money and look for a job. I graduated from Kennedy High School in 2014 and hope to be a good, funny and fun babysitter.

Hi! I’m Caliana, a creative, responsible, and caring babysitter with 4 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I genuinely enjoy helping little ones learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, supportive environment. I love planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, story time, outdoor play, and sensory games that match each child's age and interests. I’m reliable, flexible with scheduling (daytime, evenings, weekends — whenever your family needs!), and always focused on making your child’s day both fun and safe.

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Being part of a child’s day, whether through play, routines, or learning moments, is very rewarding for me, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive experience for both kids and parents. I worked at a daycare for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and supporting development through structured and unstructured activities. I am also currently a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant, which has given me even more experience working closely with children and supporting their individual needs. Through my daycare and pediatric OT experience, I have strong skills in child development, behavior support, communication, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am trained in working with children with a variety of needs, following routines, ensuring safety, and providing compassionate care. My background helps me bring a calm, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to every family I work with.

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!
