Kelly was great with our two little ones. She showed up exactly on time. The kids both asked to play with "Kewwey" after she left.

Hi, I’m Katie! I graduated from Creighton University in 2023 with a degree in psychology. I worked for a year as an assistant preschool teacher at a Montessori school working with kids aged 2.5-7, but I have worked with kids as old as 12. I currently work at Washington University as a research associate in the Psychiatry Department, and our study population is preteen girls. Currently, I am traveling but will be back sometime in October. I will definitely be around for the winter holidays if you need an extra hand! . The most amount of children I have babysat at once is 5, but I am most comfortable with the 1-3 range. When I am babysitting, I prefer to get the kids moving and doing something fun! Whether that’s making up a game or playing with toys they already have, they will have my full attention. I have tutored kids in the past, so I can help with homework and get snacks/meals ready for them. I can clean up around the house during my time with them as well. I used to be a lifeguard and I am CPR certified through my employer as well. Please message me if you’re interested in getting to know me better!

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!

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a B.S. in English and minor in Catholic Studies in the spring of 2024. I love working with kids as they tend to make life interesting in unexpected and novel ways! Who wouldn’t want their joy? I have worked as a nanny for three families whose children have ranged from 2 to 10 years of age. I have experience with potty training, maintaining routines, engaging kids in age appropriate activities, snack and lunch times, and buckling kids into front and rear facing car seats with 5-point harnesses. I work closely with families to ensure I follow their parenting style, discipline standards, and routine. Communication is a vital element of my job. Outside of nannying, I have taught reading and phonics to students of all ages with disabilities at a tutoring center called Lindamood-Bell. I also have experience working as a substitute teacher. I love working with children, specifically students, because passing on knowledge is so fulfilling for me. I am looking for more experience working one-on-one with children in order to prepare me to homeschool my own future kids. Thank you for viewing my profile!
