Hi! I'm Alissa, and I love working with children. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including caring for families with 3 or more kids, and I'm infant and child CPR certified. I'll be working weekends at BJC St. Louis' trauma center and I am looking to fill out my weekdays a little bit more. I have a reliable car, and manage my time well. I'm also very tidy and happy to help around the house, but I also love being active and having fun with kids (I love crafts, hikes, and anything outdoors myself) I'm an animal lover (especially dogs!) and always aim to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children.

I’m the oldest of five children, and have been babysitting as far as I can remember. I have experience with special needs, both in my personal life with my little sister, and through high school training. I took a course called Peer to Peer, where we worked one on one and focused on motor development and behavioral regulation. I’m a skilled cook and housekeeper, and often meal prep for my families. I love babysitting because kids have such active imaginations and I love seeing how they view the world. Every kid is different, and I enjoy getting to know each one.

Hi! My name is Tuwi, I am a 21 year old college student that has a strong passion for helping kids grow fundamentally, caring for them and learning with them. Growing up I volunteered at an orphanage every summer until I was old enough to get a job and then got my first ever daycare/preschool job. I work well with kids of any age and I am CPR certified!

I’m a recent master's graduate from Duke, where I majored in marine science. I gained previous experience in childcare during my summer as a daycare teacher for 0-2 year olds at the Noor Academy in Columbia, MO. I assisted in supervising a class of 7 bright and energetic toddlers. I found a lot of fulfillment and love in interacting with and caring for them while creating a safe environment that nurtures their individual growth. I recently received my CPR/First Aid training, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I’m happy to chat more if you have any specific questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe around. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them entertained, and helping make their day a little easier for both them and their parents. I also enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and being involved in their routines while making sure they feel cared for and supported. What experience do you have? I have experience working with children in both childcare and behavioral settings. I worked at a child development center where I cared for children, helped with daily routines, supervised activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I also have experience as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I worked one-on-one with children and gained experience with communication, behavior support, patience, and individualized care. These experiences have taught me how to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. What skills and training do you have? I am a Certified Registered Behavior Technician and have training and experience in child development, behavior support, communication, and maintaining a safe environment for children. I am patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable handling different situations that may come up while caring for children. I’m also comfortable following parents’ instructions and routines and communicating with parents about their child’s day.
