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 am a certified 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!

Kaya N., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Kaya Nies and I am a graduate student living in Baltimore for the year. I am a medical student interested in pediatrics and am taking the year away for a public health Master’s program here in the area. I have always loved interacting with kiddos of all ages - my parents are elementary school teachers and I spent many teenage years volunteering in their classrooms and serving as babysitter for their colleagues. Helping kids learn and play grew to be very special to me. In college I had a couple of part-time nannying gigs and also worked as my sibling’s full-time childcare during the summers (at ages 6 months to 3 years). Throughout medical school I have spent ample time with babies, children, and adolescents as I learned how to provide care to them. I have a kid-friendly vehicle and love to spend time with pets. As a future pediatrician, I am knowledgeable and passionate about child safety. I am committed to fostering a fun, educational environment with safety at the forefront of my mind. I would be thrilled to spend some of my time in Baltimore with a family in need of childcare. Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Clara B., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 7 years of paid experience

I am a charismatic, kind, and safety-oriented childcare worker who loves connecting with children and seeing what makes them tick. I am currently working in a behavior analysis clinic where I work one-on-one with autistic youth (4yrs-9yrs). I love this work but am looking to get back into nannying. I have nannied for families with littles (1yr-4yrs) for the most part, but feel comfortable around and have experience with all ages! I value safety and educational enrichment above all else, I try to minimize screen time when watching children. I love exposing children to new activities and expanding their horizons, whether that be outdoors, finding museums, exploring libraries, swimming (I am a certified lifeguard with years of swim lesson instruction under my belt), cooking/baking, or educational games. I implement boundaries with kids in a clear and compassionate manner, and am happy to have conversations with kids around these boundaries (terminating unsafe, inappropriate, or unkind behaviors). I like having discussions with parents around their approach and philosophy toward childcare/parenting to make sure I am representing their values properly when working with their kids. I take a lot of pride in my work with children, it brings me so much joy to be a childcare provider. I like to read, work out, go on walks, hang with my cats, find events with live music, make tasty food, and see my friends/family in my free time. I am comfortable working with children that have disabilities, given I am provided background information and specific instructions for their needs. I am comfortable with transporting myself/children around town and having animals around too. I look forward to hearing from you!
