Erica M., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Erica, I’m 26 years old, and I am currently a dental resident at University Health Lakewood Medical Center. I just relocated to KC for this position and recently graduated from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center with my DDS. During my time in Memphis I babysat for multiple families, with kids aged 14-mo to 12 years old (can provide references from multiple families) over the course of 3 years. I was also heavily involved in my church, Memphis Tabernacle, and served on our kids ministry team 2x per month for 4 years. While I did my undergraduate Biology degree in Tulsa, Oklahoma, before moving to Memphis, I babysat for a family with three kids consistently, and I also worked as a reading tutor for ReadSmart Learning, in which I would help kids ages 5-12 improve their reading level. I love taking care of kids and grew up with younger cousins and children that I would look after all the time thanks to the after-school program of a private school that my mom was the administrator for. I am energetic and flexible with kids, as well as firm when needed. I have received my CPR certification multiple times and just renewed it this last fall 2023. Due to my residency schedule, I am available weekends and occasional weeknights if you and your partner go on a date night, or something of that nature.

Samantha Y., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 15 years of paid experience

I’m 29 years old and I have 15 years experience babysitting and working with children. I’m was a lead teacher at a daycare center until I had my baby girl who is now almost two in December. I wanted a more flexible schedule to stay home with her as much as possible. Sometimes she does come with me but I can also leave her with family. I can do meal prep, change diapers, potty train and bedtime/naptime routine. I love being outside and taking “field trips” with the kids I babysit for. I have plenty of references as well.

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!

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 temporary/flexible 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!
