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

I am currently working remotely at a national nonprofit with families that do not have local emotional nor practical support. Prior to this I worked as the Program Director at a nonprofit again supporting women and families with practical resources and emotional support, and before that I was working in technology at one of the largest youth-focused non-profits in NYC. I have many years (about twenty) of childcare experience and lifelong experience babysitting for family (as mine is quite large - especially with the recent addition of my own little one) and have worked with all age ranges from infant - teens. I love working with children, have always been around them, and enjoy being a small part of a child's development be it in an educational, familial, or recreational setting. I am very respectful of each individual family's values and rules while making sure to always reinforce that need for mutual respect. I speak English, Spanish, and some French and have worked with families as a nanny and babysitter (besides my jobs noted above), in a school and daycare center, and have also been a swim and karate instructor and coach. Due to these experiences and my own nature, I enjoy being active with the kids I babysit for, as well as spending time reading and learning, and cultivating a curious spirit. I also like to have a candid and professional relationship with their parents.
