Hi families! I’m Val 😊 I’m a 27-year-old experienced nanny based in University City, currently looking for occasional or recurring babysitting. I have experience with multiple children of different ages, and I also worked as an Au Pair, which gave me valuable hands-on experience with daily routines, structure, and building strong bonds with kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and bilingual (Spanish & English). I’m also very active (I was a national swimmer for 6 years), so I love keeping kids engaged through play, outdoor activities, and a healthy routine. Non-smoker, pet-friendly, and no allergies. Feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!

Valentina was so sweet and easy going! She was so gentle with the kids and went with the flow when our schedule was awry. We will definitely ask her to sit again!

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!

Merritt was a fantastic baby sitter for our 2 kids! She was incredibly responsible, organized and accommodating to our 1 and 9 year old. The kids gravitated towards her immediately! She was very caring and engaging; the kids loved their time with her. Playing, feeding and night time routines-she did it all. With her depth of childcare experience we always knew our kids were safe and secure in her hands.

I have 2 and a half years childcare experience with children ages 0 months to 12 years old. I also am cpr and first aid certified for infant/adult. I have a 4 year old that I would need to bring along with due to the fact I do not have childcare for him. I have worked with multiple children with special needs and am always willing to learn further to better fit your child's needs. I have paid for and can provide my extensive background check and can provide my cpr certificate as well. I also have an amazing letter of recommendation from my present/former boss. I am available to work Mondays and Tuesdays anytime.

Hi! My name is Olive, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages through nanying, regular babysitting, transportation help, and camp counseling. I currently work for multiple families on both a regular and occasional basis, helping with school pickups and drop-offs, after-school care, playtime, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged in a safe and supportive environment. I previously worked as a nanny for a family of five, caring for three children ages 3-7, where I was heavily involved in daily routines, activities, meals, outings, and family trips. I've served as a junior camp counselor at Central Studio, helping young campers engage in creative activities while ensuring a fun and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I have experience in customer service and team leadership, working at Oberweis Dairy and as a manager at Snarf's Sandwiches. These roles have strengthened my responsibility, patience, and multitasking skills, which I bring to every babysitting job. I love working with kids, whether it's through creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework. Looking forward to meeting your family! - Olive

I'm a childcare provider with a deep passion for nurturing children's growth and development. My patient and creative nature allows me to engage children with educational and imaginative activities, making their time in my care enjoyable and stimulating. With 4 years of daycare experience, CPR certification, Safe Sleep certification and 11 hours of Early Child Development coursework, I'm well-equipped to handle up to 4 children of various ages (0-11). I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and using their preferred method of contact. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. From outdoor games to board games and puzzles, I love participating in a variety of activities that promote learning and fun. I'm also willing to assist with light housekeeping. In addition to children, I also have a love for animals and have two dogs of my own. I would love to help with your family's childcare needs.

Claire was an extremely professional young lady who always came prepared with activities every day for her and my daughter to do together. She was extremely close with my daughter and tailored their activities to what my kid liked to do, whether it be painting or color, arts and crafts etc. You will not go wrong with hiring Claire as a babysitter; she became family to us, and she did a lot more than any hired babysitter might do: she truly loved our daughter. Claire took great care in nurturing her young mind, and went out of her way to make our daughter feel special. She was our babysitter for roughly two years until we moved away. You will not find a better or more nurturing person to care for your children.

Carolina was exceptional! My family was visiting STL from out of state so hiring a babysitter was a scary thought. I read through Carolina’s reviews about how wonderful she was, and that paired with her au pair experience put my mind at ease. She was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, and immediately went to work making a playful connection with my toddler. She sent photos throughout the evening and my girls loved her. I would absolutely recommend Carolina, she is warm and nurturing, jumps right into action with the kiddos. Hire her!

Hello, My name is Sholonda. I have 19 years of hands-on childcare experience, including the past 14 years supporting elementary students as an Instructional Assistant and before that, 5 years working in early childhood education in a preschool setting. I currently work for the Wentzville School District as an Instructional Assistant supporting elementary-aged children, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, guiding behavior positively, and keeping kids engaged, safe, and supported. I also have experience with date nights and overnight care, and I can provide strong references. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring a calm, reliable presence into every home. I love adding creativity to childcare and offer optional fun themed weekly activities—like arts & crafts, simple cooking, creative writing and taking trips to finish out the themed week (ex: taking a trip to the zoo, etc) with your permission of course. I provide the supplies for our projects; families just need to have a flat workspace (great for watercolor painting and crafts) and access to basics like a kitchen when needed. I’d love to support your family! Please note my availability:*** I’ll be working summer school in June from 8am–12pm, but I’m available after that for camp pick-ups and evening care. In July and August, I’m available for full-day care, including camp drop-offs and pick-ups if needed.***

Hello! My name is Maddie. I’ve been working with kids for several years and have been paid for 4. I have experience with all ages and can change diapers as well as helped potty train. I love working with kids and helping them become the wonderful little people we know they can be. I am first aid and CPR certified and know how to remain calm in difficult situations with kids. I would love the opportunity to help care for your kids and help make your day a little bit easier. What I enjoy about sitting is getting to help kids feel comfortable in their own homes and have fun with them as well as helping with all the day to day little things. I enjoy getting to help out around the house because I know parents are busy and i love getting to do my part. I’ve always loved working with kids and I love singing to them, playing games with them, or even just laying with them. I am very excited for the chance to help with your kids and hang out with them!

Maddie was perfect teacher for my 3 year old daughter. My daughter isn’t afraid to push the line and Maddie was able to help her see that line in a loving caring environment where my daughter could still be herself!

My favorite age group is toddlers/preschoolers, but I have experience with kids of all ages.

I have 6 years of experience working with kids as a camp counselor and babysitter, including children with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have my own car. My focus is to provide a safe, routine-focused, and supportive space for your child where they will be able to learn and grow.
