Hello, my name is Randy. I have over 40 years working with children in a multitude of diverse roles. I started babysitting at 13, to Nannying, to Daycare (Infant room to Site Director), to Substitute Teaching (all grades), to the State of MO in Social Services as a Foster Care Worker & CA/N Hotline Investigator, to my last professional role as a Unit, House 6, Supervisor at a Therapeutic Residential Treatment Facility. 9 years ago, at 46, I took an early retirement to live out some dreams, one of which was to motorcycle the continental US, Canada & Mexico. About a year ago I decided to return to work in Childcare again at 52. I'm currently working M-F, 8-5 as both a Lead Pre-K Teacher (school year) & Lead School-Aged Summer Camp Counselor (Summers). I'm currently FT. Honestly, being a Nanny again would suit my lifestyle better at this time in a more personalized, relaxed, home setting focusing on all aspects of fostering child development. Being a Babysitter & Nanny for families were some of the best experiences I've ever had. I've Babysat & Nannied for all ages (infant to 14), cultures & genders, from 1-5 children. Most of the families I've worked for were 1-3 children. I love my current position as a Pre-K Teacher/Summer Camp Counselor, though I'm always willing to help out parents some eves & weekends who need a quality Babysitter. It's a good break from the classroom setting. I don't smoke, am physically fit, trained & skilled in childcare, responsible, reliable, emotionally & cognitively mature, love pets, have a clean driving record, fully insured & a Class E (Chauffeur) on my DL. I'm happy to provide copies of my resume, recent Childcare DHSS/MO State Highway Patrol fingerprint childcare background checks, CPR-Infant/Adult/AED, ongoing Childcare training class certifications, references, recent physical & TB test & any other paperwork you may require. I do hope you consider me, would love the opportunity to talk more about my qualifications & to meet your family to see if it's a good fit. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time, Randy

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

I've loved caring for children for as long as I could remember. I started babysitting at 12 and as the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping care for younger children daily. 11 years as a mom myself, I truly understand children's needs at every stage and how important patience, structure and kindness are. I have experience with infants, including colicky babies, supporting children with attention, anxiety and behavioral challenges, as well as children with special needs. I'm calm, dependable, and very attentive, with a strong sense of empathy and understanding. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their little ones are in caring hands.
