Sittercity helps Chesterfield families find the best babysitters

Hi there! I’m Erin, a 35-year-old with a passion for working with children. I’m currently seeking part-time opportunities but am open to full-time work as well. Over the years, I’ve worn a few hats, from nannying to teaching outdoors at Whole Child Montessori School in Portland, and even working as a rock climbing instructor. With a background in English from the University of Missouri - Columbia, I also bring a love for learning and creativity to everything I do. In my free time, you can usually find me climbing, running, or exploring the outdoors on hikes. Adventure and activity are a big part of my life, and I love bringing that spirit to my work with children. My approach is all about empowering kids to make safe, informed decisions while offering plenty of positive reinforcement and compassion. I always make sure to keep things light with a sense of humor and embrace their unique personalities—there’s nothing quite like seeing kids shine in their own goofy ways! With over ten years of experience caring for infants through to older kids, I’m well-equipped for the energy and excitement that comes with the job. Coming from a big family myself, I know how to keep up with the lively atmosphere that kids bring. I especially enjoy encouraging imaginative play, getting outside for adventures, and diving into a good story together. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, and I’d love the chance to connect with you and your family! Warmly, Erin

I am a very loving person, I am energetic, active and creative and very patient. You can count on me to be there in times of emergencies and last minute needs of childcare. I am trustworthy and can ensure that your child will be always in a safe environment, and treated as I would my very own, if I had any children. I enjoy learning kids many different personlities and interest, and I am always open to new adventures or unique styles of play and fun. I love to laugh, really laugh and will do whatever it takes to get the kid to smile and have the best time they deserve and should as often as possible. They are our future and have so many great talents that should be given the chance to show as much as they or willing to express themselves.  Yolanda

I am the second oldest of 6 kids, the youngest is 7. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and have always enjoyed being around children. People have always told me that I’m very patient, kind, and loving. I have experience with all ages and am happy to do anything from reading and peek-a-boo to helping with homework and housework. I am certified in cpr and first aid.

I am a certified, experienced early childhood educator, with a bachelors and masters degrees in Early Childhood Education, and 14 years of experience teaching and working with children, mainly in childcare settings. Throughout that time I have worked in and out of all age groups and classrooms, from infants to middle school. The majority of my experience has been with early childhood (ages infant-6 years). My most recent teaching position was in a private preschool in Creve Coeur that served infants-6 year olds. There, I worked with the 1 & 2 year olds and the 2 & 3-year-olds. Prior to the pandemic I worked in a different private school teaching 3 & 3 year olds in the morning and 4 & 5 year olds in the afternoon. Then, during the pandemic, I worked for a few months as a nanny for a 2 & 6 year old, while helping the 6 year old and his 7 year old classmate with virtual learning. I have recently decided to leave teaching, due to the stresses and distractions that take some of the joy away from it for me. However, I I do still love and connect with young children and would like to continue working with them in a different capacity. I feel like nannying and babysitting would be a perfect way to do this. During my experience as a nanny I drove the children to many places, and left her car seat strapped in the back seat of my car, so I am fully willing and able to do the same for you if that is a need of yours. I also provided many other engaging play and learning experiences and activities for them. In addition to my daytime nanny and babysitting experience, I do have many years of experience babysitting on evenings and weekends if that is a need of yours as well. I am fully vaccinated and First Aid and CPR certified. I love animals (dogs paricuarily) and consider myself to be very nurturing with a positive attitude and disciplne approach. If anyone is interested in my service, please mesaage me. i would love to speak to you.

I am 34 years old. I have cumulatively about 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience. In highschool at the age of 16, I babysat and took care of my baby and toddler cousin on a part-time basis. In college, I was an after-school nanny caring for a 6-year old and driving/taking her to activities. I had a full-time position caring for a 10-month and homeschooling a 4-year old. I have worked with special needs children. I have managed a household. I have worked with several twin toddler families on an as-needed basis. I have done overnight care for an infant. I have watched as many as 5 children at once. I have professional teaching and tutoring experience. I play tennis and violin. I promote enriching activities for children. I'm sort of a germaphobe so I am very good about being clean and keeping things clean! I am a non-smoker. I do have a college degree. I will care for your children as if they were my own.

Hi! My name is Merritt :) I am a recent graduate from Butler University with a BS in Biochemistry and a minor in Healthcare Administration. I am currently taking a gap year while applying to medical schools with goals to pursue a career as a medical scientist specializing in pediatric oncology. I am passionate about providing children with safe, joyful, and nurturing care. I have spent the last 7 years working with children of all ages--from newborns to teenagers-- and multiples (up to four children at any one time, including nanny share) as well as children with both medical and developmental special needs. My background working and volunteering in healthcare and childcare allows me to approach every situation with a level-head, confidence, and compassion. I am EMT-B trained as well as certified in CPR/First-Aid and "Stop the Silence" CSA prevention. I am happy to assist with meal prep, light cleaning, laundry, errands, and pet care. I love the outdoors, animals, crafts, puzzles, and creating hands-on activities that spark curiosity and creativity in kids. I am always looking for a long-term opportunity with a family who values warmth, structure, and strong communication; I am very open to overnight positions. Please reach out with any questions--I'd love to learn more about your family's needs!

I want to work with kids in a professional setting and I think babysitting will help me reach that goal. I am very passionate when it comes to working with children and I do my best when it comes to making kids feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

I have 10 years of early childcare experience. I have experience with babysitting, leading summer camps, and working in early childcare centers. I can help with daily routines, remote learning/small lesson plans, and sometimes travel for example. I have both my Bachelors and Masters in Criminal Justice & Criminology. Throughout my years in school, I also took many courses centered around childcare and development. I am currently CPR and First Aid/Oxygen certified and also have up to date clock hours. I have primarily worked with infants through 5 year olds; however, I do have experience working with school aged and older children.

Hello, my name is Abigail but I prefer to go by Abby! I'm 25 years old and just moved from North Carolina to Missouri. I recently graduated with a bachelors in psychology from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and am currently applying to graduate school for a masters in social work. Some interesting facts about me include that I have three dogs and am a huge animal lover. During my undergrad I was both a nanny and dog sitter but focused mainly on dog-sitting the past couple of years. I love to read, write, hike, and do arts&crafts. Professionally I have been a babysitter/nanny since I was around 12 years old. I started out baby-sitting for neighborhood families. One family I babysat for had 5 kids ages ranging from 5-12. I absolutely loved my job and have several stellar references to share. I am also CPR and first-aid certified. I love going out and exploring, doing arts & crafts, and having fun with the kids I care for! I hope we can speak soon!
