Merritt J., Babysitter in Allenton, MO 63025 with 8 years of paid experience

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 physician 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 open to overnight positions (with negotiable rates). Please reach out with any questions--I'd love to learn more about your family's needs!

Alyssa M., Babysitter in Allenton, MO 63025 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Alyssa M, and I'm a 19-year-old college student with a true love for working with children. I'm currently studying at STLCC to earn my associate degree and become a registered nurse. I'm the third of four, so I grew up in a busy, kid-filled environment that helped shape my patience, sense of responsibility, and love for caregiving. Over the years, l've gained professional experience as a Kids Academy Instructor and Summer Camp Counselor at Life Time Fitness for two years, and a swim instructor at Parkway Swim School. I also worked for three years as a lifeguard at the North Pointe Aquatic Center. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and comfortable with children of all ages, including infants. Currently, I work occasionally at Nothing Bundt Cakes as a froster, but I can adjust my schedule to prioritize babysitting. I have my own car, a clean driving record (with one minor accident in the past), and I'm very comfortable with pets. With the kids I care for, I love planning fun and creative activities like crafts, obstacle courses, nature walks, baking simple treats, and storytime with silly voices. I also enjoy helping with learning through games, educational play, and even swim practice if you have a pool! What I love most about this job is seeing kids light up when they're having fun, learning something new, or just feeling safe and supported. It's incredibly rewarding to be a part of their growth. I have a resume I’d love to send over, just message me.

Patricia K., Babysitter in Allenton, MO 63025 with 15 years of paid experience

First of all, I am a single mom. I retired from the medical field in 1999 so I could work in my daughter's daycare as a lead infant teacher in the nursery. I started as a temp., but loved it so much, I decided to not go back to the hospital work and start an Early Childhood Education career, caring for families infants daily. I worked in the nursery for 7 years caring for 4 infants and training new teachers and supervising the care of the remaining 10 infants. I was hired as a private nanny from one of our families from the daycare in 2008 and have continued caring for families in the west county area of St. Louis where I live. I enjoy helping families with new babies and their toddlers, which is fascinating and rewarding for me. I totally get how new moms feel when they have to leave their babies and return to the work force full-time with their infant cared for by a stranger. I have experienced the same fear and worry when my daughter was three months old when I had to return to work from maternity leave. I have college credit hours in Early Childhood Education and have had success teaching 6 toddlers a preschool curriculum. I enjoy helping new parents with daily care of their newborns and have used and purchased just about every infant product. I have daily experience with bottle feedings with breast milk and formula, baby food, diapering, swaddling, sleep training infants, and teaching and reaching infant milestones. I have experience teaching infants to crawl, talk and walk and found it to be very rewarding. Yes, babies do tend to say DaDa first. I believe in a daytime schedule and keep a daily log on the infants day for parents to review which includes diapers, bottle feedings, baby food, and soft table food. I also have experience caring for NB twin infants. I am CPR certified, first aid certified. I have 16 years of FT experience as an infant nanny. I plan on continuing my care of all babies until I can no longer physically do it. I really cannot realistically think of doing any other career as I find this so rewarding.
