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 - AUG 29. Maybe you are looking for fill-in childcare while looking for someone long-term OR just need random dates. My background check was renewed April 2025. They only last 90 days and I haven't renewed because jobs have been slow on this site. Hello! My name is Heidi, I am 50 years old and have 34 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. During college I worked at Martha Rounds Academy for Children (now Elaine Rosi Academy) in Brentwood in the Newborn/Infant room as a care provider for 4 infants in a room of 16 infants and 4 care providers. I was a substitute teacher (all grades) for 7 years for the Lindbergh School District from 2000-2007. 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 vaccinations are both up-to-date. I renewed my Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED 2 year certification on June 10, 2023. I have full coverage car insurance at maximum limits. 4 HOUR MINIMUM. $20/hr for up to 2 children.

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.
