Hi! My name is Paiton I am 20 years old and in the process of getting a degree in languages studies with five years of experience providing childcare for families. My passion for working with children stems from a desire to positively impact their lives and support families in need of reliable care. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm a creative and friendly person.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

Hi! My name is Keiko, and caring for kids has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I attended Oklahoma State University, where I majored in Business Management with a concentration in Human Resources. Later, I felt called to healthcare, so I switched paths, attended nursing school, and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I recently got engaged and moved to Edwardsville, IL, and I’m currently waiting to start my first nursing job as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. I’ve always had a passion for children and even had a hard time deciding between teaching and my other degrees. Ultimately, I chose different fields — but I knew I would always find ways to be around and work with kids. Nursing allows me to do exactly that! Throughout college, I led the Foster Youth Advocates Club and worked as a support person in a Pre-K classroom that needed extra hands, especially with the littles. I also spent 10 weeks as a camp counselor at an overnight camp for children ages 5–13, where campers stayed for two weeks at a time. That experience gave me a deep understanding of caring for kids on a long-term, consistent basis. Alongside school, I worked with many local families doing school pick-ups and drop-offs, dentist appointments, after-school activities, haircuts, and everything in between. I love helping families in any way I can, and I take pride in being a positive role model for the children I care for. I truly believe it’s a privilege to be part of a child’s life and childhood — even in small ways — and I aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child I meet. I’d love the opportunity to partner with your family!

I've loved caring for children for as long as I could remember. I started babysitting at 12 and as the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping care for younger children daily. 11 years as a mom myself, I truly understand children's needs at every stage and how important patience, structure and kindness are. I have experience with infants, including colicky babies, supporting children with attention, anxiety and behavioral challenges, as well as children with special needs. I'm calm, dependable, and very attentive, with a strong sense of empathy and understanding. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their little ones are in caring hands.

I'm am a nursing student and I enjoy helping people. I love children, animals, and senior citizens. I am also a graduate of UMSL, with a degree in psychology. I am the oldest among eight grandchildren. My babysitting experience involved mostly family, which included cousins, nieces and nephews.

I’m the eldest of the children in my family, so I discovered my natural caregiving nature at a young age. I have been a caregiver of people ages 3 through 93! The elderly are such treasure troves of wisdom and history, and the children are good for my soul; they amuse me, surprise me and fascinate me. I like watching them grow, I like teaching them and getting the satisfaction that I have helped a young one learn learn. Currently I am caring for sisters—a three-year-old, and one who turned six years old last month. I most like to play and interact with them in way in which they learn. For example, the girls’ first language is English, and I am teaching them to speak Spanish. Of course, what I’m able to teach them depends on age and what a parent wants in that regard. I’m willing to do light housekeeping, and I am also an experienced house sitter and pet sitter. I’m extremely flexible, I have references, and I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to get acquainted with some parents to see if our needs mesh!
