Sittercity helps Glencoe families find the best babysitters

Hi! My name is Lexie and I’ve been in childcare since I was able! I started babysitting when I was 10 to my nieces and nephews before babysitting locally through my teen years to multiple families, all of whom I watched until I left my hometown. Once I turned 18 and left for college, I had a few families I watched part time through care.com. When I took a break from school in 2019, I became a nanny to a family with then 5, now 6 children. I currently work at a childcare facility (I have had a state background check, been fingerprinted, and completed both infant/child/adult CPR and first aid, as well as safe sleep courses) assisting ages 6 weeks-5 years and am a nanny to an almost one year old. I am also a personal care attendant a few evenings throughout the week. I have experience with children with behavioral needs as well as medical, I am well versed on anything your child may need! I am comfortable with any age, any amount, and any pets! I like to think of myself as a chaos coordinator of fun fanatics! Every day is an opportunity to learn a lesson or make a memory, and some days we’ll find a way to do both. I look forward to chatting more! I can send references upon request. Thank you for your time.

Hi! My name is Hannah Chaput and I just graduated from Iowa State University where I got my degree in English Education. I have been babysitting for many years and have a lot of experience. I have been a summer nanny for 4 years and babysitting for about 8 years. I am a Language Arts Teacher in the area and looking for some extra work in the summer.

Hi there! I am a 24-year-old student who is passionate about providing the best care for children and developing their curiosity, intelligence, and confidence. I am currently getting my Masters in Child Clinical Psychology, so I'd love to add more hours of doing what I love (caring for kids) into my schedule. Please reach out if you have questions and to see if we would be a good match!

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.

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!

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.

Hi! My name is Delaney and I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old! I also worked at a daycare in my area for 5 years and now work with kids with autism. I have experience with children from 3 months to 13 years old!

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 two families whose children have ranged from 2 to 6.5 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!

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 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.

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.
