TEMPORARY, FULL-TIME AVAILABILTY (might extend), PLEASE CONTACT. CURRENT AVAILABILTY APRIL 10 - JUNE 7. Maybe you are looking for fill-in childcare while looking for someone long-term OR just need random dates. My background check was renewed March 10, 2026. Hello! My name is Heidi, I am 51 years old and have 35 years experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I am kind, patient, have great time management and organizational skills, and above all else, love and adore children. My mother owned and operated an in-home daycare service in our home for 20 years throughout my K-12 years. During college I worked at Martha Rounds Academy for Children (now Elaine Rosi Academy) in Brentwood in the Newborn/Infant room as a care provider for 4 infants in a room of 16 infants and 4 care providers. I was a substitute teacher (all grades) for 7 years for the Lindbergh, Bayless, and Windsor School Districts from 2000-2007. I was an independent contractor for TLC for Kids, a babysitter/nanny placement service, from 2014-2018 working for 230 families!! In 2015-2016 I was a Nanny and Estate Manager for a family in Clayton 60 hours/week taking care of their entire estate and their 2 boys, including traveling solo with the boys and stepchildren all over the country and Australia. I have since worked for clients on other platforms and clients from my time at TLC for Kids (now TLC Family Care) I love to do puzzles, arts and crafts, dance, take walks, play sports, read books, bake cookies, imaginative play, play board games, spend time outside...whatever the kids want to do. With babies I am 100% interactive...singing, talking, tummy time, reading, etc., immersing the child into their surroundings. I can help with and supervise virtual learning, homework, and transport children to/from school and other places such as the local park or zoo. I am comfortable with cameras throughout the house and all pets. Flu and Covid-19 and Tdap Vaccinations are current. I have full coverage car insurance at maximum limits. 4 HOUR MINIMUM. $22/hr for one child. An additional $1/hr per additional child. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, new here :) I originally was planning on accepting a position at a daycare facility and realized that with how the ratios are there, I would prefer less kiddos so I can focus more attention on them individually and make sure they get the best possible care! Experience teaching in a preschool
