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 worldly knowledge and quick thinking allow me to adapt to various situations and engage children effectively. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and following their preferred communication method. With my experience and skills, I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment.

I am a nanny with years of experience working with children from the ages of 1 month to 12 years. I enjoy caring for children and bring a considerable skill set to meet the needs of each child. I provide nurturing, compassion, creativity, and problem solving in my care of children. On a personal note, my two kids are grown and I have more time on my hands. With that time, I want to help young families thrive and earn money to surprise my Mom with a large gift.

Hi, I’m Lydia! I’ve always loved being around kids. Growing up in a big family with 18 siblings gave me lots of experience with children of all ages and personalities. Four of my siblings have special needs, and from an early age I helped care for them—whether that meant lending a hand with daily routines, being patient when they needed extra support, or just being a steady friend they could count on. Over the years, I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum. In my job with a company that provided support services, I assisted families with potty training, food training, and building language skills. While the company used ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), I personally don’t agree with every method, and those experiences really shaped the way I see caregiving. They taught me not only how to support growth, but also what not to do—helping me focus on raising confident, happy kids by encouraging their strengths and respecting who they are. By the time I was 12, I was already babysitting without adult supervision, and that taught me responsibility and confidence at a young age. I learned how to keep kids entertained, how to create a safe environment, and most importantly, how to be someone they could trust. When I was 16, I even traveled to England to work as a caregiver for a woman with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). That experience expanded my caregiving skills—I helped with laundry, cooking meals, assisting her in the bathroom, giving her showers, and making sure she was comfortable at night. What I enjoy most about working with kids is knowing that every interaction, no matter how small, shapes the way they see the world. Sometimes it’s through teaching, other times it’s just through listening, laughing, or playing alongside them. To me, caregiving isn’t only about keeping children safe and cared for—it’s about giving them kindness, encouragement, and a sense of joy that will stay with them as they grow.

I'm a stay at home mom with two amazing children ages 17 and 13. I worked as an RN for 15 years in critical/ICU setting until my husband joined the military and I decided to be a stay at home mom. On Sundays, I teach second grade bible at First Baptist Church in O Fallon; I have also volunteered the last 2 years for FBC's week-long summer bible camp; working with 2 year olds through 1st grade. In addition, I volunteered to watch 9 children (ages 2-11) for 2.5 hours during our homeschool group (2018-2019). I love children. For me, being a mom is the best job in the world. I love to do things outside: walk, bike riding, playing games. I'm very creative with activities to keep kids busy and learning new things. One of my favorite things to do is reading books.
