Hi! I’m Morgan. I’m 22 years old and I’m looking to be a babysitter. I have babysat kids before and have been told I’m very good with kids. My patience runs high so maybe that’s it. I love to play volleyball, sing, read books. My favorite singer is P!nk. I love pets (my favorite animal is a monkey) and I have 2 cats. I have 6 years of paid babysitting experience. I also have CPR certification and know basic first aid. I am willing to do light house keeping and simple meals (I’m not much of a cook). I have my own car so if there are activities, sports, or just a trip to the park, I can do that. My availability is very flexible right now as I am currently looking for a job. I hope to hear from you soon!

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.

Why do you love being a sitter? I’ve always found purpose when it comes to caring for kids. There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping them feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow. What experience do you have? Oldest of four with an unofficial PhD in conflict resolution, snack distribution, diaper duty, and last-minute science project rescues. For 10 years, I’ve been the built-in babysitter, backseat therapist, and go-to role model—earning my stripes in spilled juice, scraped knees, helping with everything from ABCs to algebra. I’ve learned how to balance patience with play and structure with silliness, all while showing up with love and reliability. What skills and training do you have? I’m currently attending Kirkwood Community College for nursing and have completed my first year, which included courses in anatomy, nutrition, psychology, and developmental psychology. This academic foundation gives me a deeper understanding of child development and overall wellness. I’m also a certified CNA with clinical training in patient care and emergency procedures like the Heimlich maneuver. I also am CPR certified!

Hello! I’m a 20 year old who has had a love for kids sense I was a teen. I started out babysitting my own siblings and then extended family and family friends. I have several years of experience in paid babysitting from families that I can give as references. I also nannied all summer a couple of years ago for 2 kids ages 7 and 9. I have tons of driving experience. I have worked with ages 0-12 a ton. The last 4 years I’ve been mostly working with ages 0-2, 2-5, and some elementary ages. I absolutely love working with 1-3 kids vs a daycare setting as it allows me to connect with them more and do things catered more to what they desire. I love running errands if you need someone to go grocery shopping for you, transporting kids to swimming lessons or sports, going to the park, trampoline parks, or any other activities. I don’t mind picking up toys, folding laundry, helping with things around the house, cooking meals, baking desserts with kids, etc. I am currently a Lead 4 and 5 year old teacher and onsite supervisor at my current job with preschool kids. I’m not the preschool teacher, I’m the wrap around care teacher who provides structure, play with a purpose, and more learning while the kids are not currently at preschool! I am CPR and First Aid certified for infant, child, and adult. I’ve been certified for the last 4 years! I have several other childcare trainings as well. A little more about me! My favorite age I’ve worked with probably has to be age 3! I love all ages, but working with 3s and watching them grow and develope so much in just 1 year was incredible and so rewarding for me! I also have experience being a lead teacher with the 2 year old classroom at one of my past jobs. I absolutely love to be silly and do activities with kids! I think I dislike being bored just as much as they do which helps all of us! I love painting, coloring, riding bikes, playing with chalk, bubbles, you name it. I also love me a good dance party with any age! I have several pets at home and have grown up with so many different kinds as well. I’m a huge dog and cat lover. I also have pet birds and a rabbit of my own. One of my favorite activities in nice weather is walking outside or riding a bike. Being in nature is wonderful! I also enjoy making bracelets and working with clay. I take spin wheel pottery classes every now and then for fun. I take so much pride and confidence in what I do and all that I’ve learned in the childcare industry. I am always learning!

Hi! My name is Bergen and I am 24 years old. I have experience with a wide variety of ages! While I was still in high school I would volunteer my free time helping out in a Preschool classroom because I love spending time with children and helping them grow. I have also taken an early childhood education college course and when I was in middle school I went through a babysitting training course. I also have a toddler of my own currently and would like to find opportunities where he could come with me! I believe my goofy and friendly personality makes it easy for children to feel comfortable with me and have fun, but I am also mature and responsible.
