I have 10 years of early childcare experience. I have experience with babysitting, leading summer camps, and working in early childcare centers. I can help with daily routines, remote learning/small lesson plans, and sometimes travel for example. I have both my Bachelors and Masters in Criminal Justice & Criminology. Throughout my years in school, I also took many courses centered around childcare and development. I am currently CPR and First Aid/Oxygen certified and also have up to date clock hours. I have primarily worked with infants through 5 year olds; however, I do have experience working with school aged and older children.

I am a very loving person, I am energetic, active and creative and very patient. You can count on me to be there in times of emergencies and last minute needs of childcare. I am trustworthy and can ensure that your child will be always in a safe environment, and treated as I would my very own, if I had any children. I enjoy learning kids many different personlities and interest, and I am always open to new adventures or unique styles of play and fun. I love to laugh, really laugh and will do whatever it takes to get the kid to smile and have the best time they deserve and should as often as possible. They are our future and have so many great talents that should be given the chance to show as much as they or willing to express themselves. Yolanda

Howdy! I'm Alexx the loving experienced sitter and preschool teacher! I’m currently a full-time preschool teacher in the toddler room entering my second year, and I’m also pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Child Development. Caring for children is more than just a job to me, it’s part of my family legacy. Both my mother and grandmother were preschool teachers, and I’m proud to continue in their footsteps. On the topic of family I come from a big one! I have babysat all 17 of my younger cousins, nieces and nephew's over the years so I’m very comfortable juggling multiple kiddos and meeting each child’s unique needs. I’m CPR certified (infant/child and adult), and while I don’t own a car, I do have a valid driver’s license and am happy to drive if needed. Pets are no problem I’m a big animal lover! I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. Before teaching, I was a certified housekeeper for two years, so you can count on me to keep things clean, organized, and toys put away. I bring patience, energy, and genuine care to every family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your little ones!

TEMPORARY AVAILABILTY, PLEASE CONTACT. CURRENT AVAILABILTY NOW - NOV 28. Maybe you are looking for fill-in childcare while looking for someone long-term OR just need random dates. My background check was renewed November 5, 2025. Hello! My name is Heidi, I am 51 years old and have 35 years experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I am kind, patient, have great time management and organizational skills, and above all else, love and adore children. My mother owned and operated an in-home daycare service in our home for 20 years throughout my K-12 years.

I was an independent contractor for TLC for Kids, a babysitter/nanny placement service, from 2014-2018 working for 230 families!! In 2015-2016 I was a Nanny and Estate Manager for a family in Clayton 60 hours/week taking care of their entire estate and their 2 boys, including traveling solo with the boys and stepchildren all over the country and Australia. I have since worked for clients on other platforms and clients from my time at TLC for Kids (now TLC Family Care) I love to do puzzles, arts and crafts, dance, take walks, play sports, read books, bake cookies, imaginative play, play board games, spend time outside...whatever the kids want to do. With babies I am 100% interactive...singing, talking, tummy time, reading, etc., immersing the child into their surroundings. I can help with and supervise virtual learning, homework, and transport children to/from school and other places such as the local park or zoo. I am comfortable with cameras throughout the house and all pets. Flu and Covid-19 and Tdap Vaccinations are current.

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

New to St. Louis from North Carolina, and relocating my new LLC to the Midwest, I am looking for occasional work in the area I excel. I have cared for children as well as cleaned homes and cooked my whole life. Prior to relocating to the area, I was with my last family for 2.5 years caring full-time for their 2 little girls since birth and miss them greatly. I do have two college degrees, one in nursing and the other in social work, which add education to my already natural ability and expertise working with children. I do have experience with children on the autism spectrum as well as newborns and multiples. My ideal position currently would be a with infants, including twins and on a part-time and flexible schedule. I hope to bring my magic into your home and care for your little one/s like I do my own grandchildren.
