Marissa B., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Marissa Bernal. I am originally from Kansas City, am a graduate from the University of Kansas with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I am currently in my fifth year of teaching, educating 19 active kindergartners. I like to craft, find the best coffee, and make memories with my friends and my dog, Buddy! At the moment I am currently looking to connect with families that are in need of a sitter for date nights, weekends, or evenings. If you think your family and I could be a great match, please reach out!

Eiley H., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Eiley! I’m almost 21 years old and have been a nanny for about 7 years. I’ve worked with children of all ages — from as young as 2–3 months old up to 19 years old, including children with disabilities and special needs. Most of my experience is with infants, toddlers, and young children under 5–6 years old, often caring for little siblings at the same time. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children and have cared for up to 4 at once. I also went through my EMT, which includes infant and child CPR, choking response, and Stop the Bleed training. Your child’s safety is always my top priority, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I have up to 6 strong references available and pride myself on being dependable, patient, nurturing, and adaptable. I’m extremely flexible with hours, pay, and household expectations — whether that includes light housekeeping, meal prep, organizing, or helping wherever needed to make your home run smoothly. I truly love what I do and aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and encouraged to grow with lots of different activities in and or outside the house!

Hello! I am currently a Special Education Teacher with years of experience with working with children of all ages! I started babysitting at a young age, that helped me decide that I wanted to become an educator. I have worked with children ages 0-18 years old. I am able to prepare meals and help with any schoolwork the child has. I also enjoy spending time outside and having fun!

Amber S., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 6 years of paid experience

I have 6 years of experience babysitting multiple children (up to 4 at a time) ages newborn-12 years old. Currently I am looking for occasional or very part time work as I am a full-time student in nursing school. I did work in a student teaching program and was in Pre-K classrooms learning about the importance of early education for children as well as creating engaging lesson plans. I also have experience in Montessori settings. I have a current copy of my Basic Life Support certification as well as my Food Handler’s if prepping meals and snacks is a necessity for your family. Thank you for your consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sarah M., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 27 years of paid experience

My name's Sarah and I’ve been in the childcare industry for going on 27 years now. I have experience with kids of all ages and I'm CPR certified in all age groups. I just finished with the family I've been with for the past 2 years- their youngest is ready for Pre- K *proud tears*. ! I'm looking for a family in need of a full time nanny. I love pets and drive an unbelievably reliable vehicle. I have tutoring experience as well and it's not unlike me to do the dishes or sweep the floor while your child takes a nap or plays with toys on the floor (always within my eyesight)! I can do school drop offs or pick ups, take to after school activities, or bring them to meet you at a doctor's appointment you forgot about until the last minute ("life"- It happens! Whatever comes up, I've got you!! 😉). I wish the best of luck to you in your search and hope to be meeting you and your little blessing(s) soon!
