Hi! My name is Peyton Dearing and I am a recent graduate from William Woofs University in Fulton, Missouri! I am looking to work with kids through teaching/babysitting, you name it! I received my bachelor degree in Education Studies and in the fall will get my degree in Elementary Education. I also played soccer and basketball in college! I am planning on being in kansas city for the summer and then will be heading back to my hometown, Illinois!

Hello, I have worked in the daycare setting for 2 years. I am CPR certified. I have 3 kids of my own, 2 boys and 1 girl. I am very family oriented. I enjoy doing crafts with the kiddos, teaching them daily through play and enjoying time outside when weather allows.

Hello, How are you doing? My name is Eliana, I am 22 years old, with years of experience working with kids. I am artistic, creative, and patient, both in my personal and professional life. I have a big heart for kids no matter their family situation or their emotional and or mental disposition. One of my biggest values is creating a safe place for kids to learn and flourish healthy. I try and have a wholistic approach when working with kids. For example, if a kid throws an object, instead of punishing them I would first observe the situation, seeing where the kid's emotion is. Looking for body queues (clenched fist, frown, tears, etc.). Next, I will say what the boundary is, do some calming exercises (deep breaths), and then ask some questions to understand the why. Kids generally have low emotional tolerance and need to be taught how to cope and problem solve in healthy ways. I also try and encourage curiosity of the the world around them, especially nature.

I really enjoy being a sitter only because I love enjoying being with kids, and it helps me better to know the child or children at a young age. As far with my experience I have raised my own cousin with my family when i was only 10 years old, I also have a baby sister that is 2 years old now that I love watching. It really gives me a chance to get to experience childhood again. I can cook a lot of stuff. So i can always make sure your kid is fed at a certain time if it is preferred. But overall I enjoy taking care of kids and I could do so much with the little ones especially if they like to color or do other things.
