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 have been a sitter for 10+ years! I love building bonds and relationships with kids. I’ma very sweet genuine person and kids are just so cool! I have baby sat all age & really enjoy watching kids. I’m a psychology major with a minor in child advocacy studies. I actually act to work with kids once i graduate next year! I have my associates degree , I am CPR certified and currently getting my RBT! I’m a new graduate from UMSL with a degree in psychology! I also have my Medical Assistant License so I’m able to pass medication. I’m a loving person and just want to purse a true passion for kids.

I love being a babysitter because it gives me the chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. I find so much joy in creating a safe, nurturing space where kids feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves. Helping children grow, feel heard, and build confidence—especially those who need a little extra patience—is something I truly care about. I’ve been babysitting since middle school for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve worked with children of all ages. I also volunteered with children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental differences, which taught me how to be flexible, calm, and attentive to individual needs. A unique part of my care is that I bring my dog with me to work. She’s very gentle, child-friendly, and used to being around little ones. I find that many children enjoy her presence—it adds comfort, fun, and companionship to the day. Of course, I always make sure families are comfortable with this ahead of time. What I Offer: • Over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience • Experience with autism and developmental differences • Help with routines: dressing, hygiene, meal/snack prep, and supervision • Light tidying/laundry and homework support • Emotional care and play-based learning • Strong communication with both kids and parents • CPR & BLS certification (currently renewing this month) I’m committed to being a calm, loving, and dependable presence in your child’s life—and I’d be honored to be a part of their daily routine.

Hi families! My name is Kaylee, and I’m an 18 year old with a big passion for working with kids. I graduated high school early and am now preparing to study childcare because caring for children has always felt like the right path for me. I currently live with my boyfriend and his mom, who are both very supportive of my goals. I love being a sitter because every child is unique, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and encouraging space where they can learn, play, and grow. I’ve gained experience caring for kids of different ages through family, friends, and neighborhood babysitting, and I’m always excited for new opportunities to learn more. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I aim to make families feel comfortable and supported. I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue, and I’m happy to help with anything extra you might need whether that’s light cleaning, homework help, errands, or keeping routines on track.

I have worked at a summer camp for the past 5 summers and loved every minute of it! Always something I would look forward to during the other seasons. I worked with 5-12 year olds at this summer camp. We would go 5 days a week and do outdoor activities, field trips, manage their lunches, help with bathroom breaks, etc. as well as working as a camp counselor I have been a life-gaurd for the past 6 summers so I am CPR and first aid certified. We would practice our CPR skills quite frequently (4/month) so the CPR skills are second nature to me at this point. I also have been babysitting since I was about 13 with different families. I used to have a family I babysat for every week for about a year. And I still sometimes sit for them when they need a babysitter. Usually the ages were 2-8 year olds. Also with having 6 nieces and 1 nephew, I babysit them a lot when their parents need me to. I use to babysit one of my nieces quite frequently with my brother being a single dad. My niece was about 3 months old when i started babysitting her up until she was about 2 years old. So I’ve had a lot of experience with different age groups, on different levels of looking after kids. I love working with kids, because I always have!
