Diane T., Babysitter in Independence, MO 64055 with 35 years of paid experience

I have been a preschool teacher for over thirty years from infants to age three and four. I have been a full time nanny for the past four years now and I love working with families more one on one.i know CPR and first aid as well. I have actually done CPR on an adult and child and saved both their lives. It was an amazing feeling that I thought I would never have to do and it made me feel so good about myself. I really interact with the children and I bond with them so well too. I'm a very flexible person to work with and go beyond the call of duty. Children are a big part of my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

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.
