My most recent long-term babysitting job was for a family with three kids and a dog. I worked at a summer camp every summer for 4 years, watching girls anywhere from age 5 to 18. I am first aid and CPR certified, and have completed classes and training courses on child development. I taught summer school for elementary special education for 2 months. Although I do not have a background check directly with this site, I work as a substitute teacher and have a background check with the school system.

Hello! I’m a Journalism student at MSU & just recently moved back to the KCMO area! I have had tons of hands on experience being an older sister (he is 14 now), but along with that I have done plenty of babysitting for family friends! I am comfortable with a wide age range of children as I have worked in a Childcare facility (mainly working with preschool aged kiddos) & I have also had my fair share while working in a Pediatric dentist office! Hope to hear from you!

I have been a full time nanny for going on eight years. I love what I do and have cared for dozens of children in my career. I have experience with all ages and a long list of qualifications and certifications including CPR/First Aid, child nutrition, child psychology etc. I am by no means that Pinterest nanny but I love to do crafts and science experiments and love to cook and bake. I have references and backgrounds available on request. I am currently looking for an afternoon/evening job for the summer as I will be working 900-1400 every week day with current long term job. I am also looking for a full time position for the 21-22 school year and on, as my current charge will be going into school full time.

Hi! My name is Emmy and for as long as I can remember, helping, caring and supporting kids has been my passion!! I have a strong background in children’s education, completing an internship at a preschool + early learning development center, I serve in the children’s ministry of my church, and I have years of experience with babysitting. I stepped away to focus full time on cosmetology school, and now as a new hairstylist, I want to get back into my dearly missed passion of caring of your kiddos! In my free time, I love to cook, read, okay pickleball and spend time with my fiance and friends.

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I am a responsible, compassionate, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I am currently a nursing major, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, communication, and providing attentive, patient-centered care. I have hands-on experience working at the YMCA Kid Zone, where I cared for children of varying ages in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. During my freshman year at Missouri State University, I also worked as a nanny for an infant from birth through 14 months of age. In that role, I was responsible for bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, developmental play, maintaining routines, and creating a nurturing environment that supported the child’s growth and milestones. I am CPR and First Aid certified, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. My nursing education has taught me to stay calm under pressure, think critically, and respond quickly in emergency situations. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel comfortable, whether that means reading books, playing games, helping with homework, or encouraging creative activities while limiting unnecessary screen time. Families describe me as reliable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to communicate with parents, follow household routines, and provide care that gives families peace of mind. I strive to build positive relationships with both children and parents, creating an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time with me. I would love the opportunity to care for your family and provide dependable, loving, and engaging childcare.
