hello my name is Nychelle.I currently reside in Springfield. I'm currently CPR and first aid certified. I do have lots of experience with children. For starters I have two younger siblings of my own, and being an older sister can really set you up for things like this. I've baby sat for numerous people I know with younger, disabled, mentally challenged and babies. I was a regular sitter for year working with a 2&4 year old. I can work with kids of all ages!! I'm fun creative and very patient! I would love the experience of being a nanny, I loved mine growing up. Can provide references if needed.

Hello! My name is Kathleen. I have over 20 years experience as a Nanny and babysitter for infants and children of all ages. I am experienced in infant motor skills, tummy time, and eye hand coordination. I love kids! I enjoy reading all kinds of books and stories, science projects and arts and crafts, and being active with children outside. At age 10 I started babysitting for my family. As the second oldest of 8 children, I became a "second mom" to my siblings. I helped with the babies' baths, diapers, and feedings, starting when they were infants. By 12 yrs old I spent weekends babysitting other families and I continued babysitting part time throughout high school and college. I have a degree in the medical field and am now retired. I was a Nanny from 2013 to 2016 for 3 children ages 4, 6, and 10, and an infant 3 months old. I have many families with infants and young children that I have been a babysitter for. Currently I'm working part-time days and evenings. I would like to work permanent, full time, 30-40 hours a week, days or evenings, as well as weekend date nights. I am Certified in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR and First Aid and emergency trained. I am a non-smoker. I have an excellent driving record and a current background check available upon request. I have excellent references from the many families with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and older that I have been a babysitter for. Thank you for looking at my profile. I look forward to talking with you about your babysitting/nanny needs. Thank you. Kathleen R.

I’m a 19 year old with plenty of childcare experience. I completed 4 years of a Teaching Class in High school while shadowing a special needs pre-k class & worked in a Preschool for almost a year! I’ve also baby sat on the side since i was 15! I love connecting with the kids & getting to know them personally. I find when teaching children new things it’s always important that they’re taught with their personal needs in mind!
