Samantha Y., Child Care in Merriam, KS 66203 with 15 years of paid experience

I’m 29 years old and I have 15 years experience babysitting and working with children. I’m was a lead teacher at a daycare center until I had my baby girl who is now almost two in December. I wanted a more flexible schedule to stay home with her as much as possible. Sometimes she does come with me but I can also leave her with family. I can do meal prep, change diapers, potty train and bedtime/naptime routine. I love being outside and taking “field trips” with the kids I babysit for. I have plenty of references as well.

Alexis W., Child Care in Merriam, KS 66203 with 11 years of paid experience

I love working with kids! I have worked at an elementary school (as a substitute teacher and daycare counselor), as well as at Autism Behavioral Spectrum, and in my free time, I tutor. I have a lot of experience working with children, and genuinely love being around them and learning from them. I studied psychology and anatomy at Maryville University, and I am now pursuing my doctorate in health/pediatric psychology at KU. I’m CPR certified, and I passed my EMT course as well. I’ve grown up babysitting my four younger siblings as well as working for other families in St. Louis. I really enjoy spending time with children, and I hope someday I’ll get the opportunity to meet yours.

Angela C., Child Care in Merriam, KS 66203 with 32 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m a patient & caring sitter with over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages including infants, toddlers, grade school, middle school kiddos and kids of all ages with special needs. I have experience with twins & multiple children close in age. I have a background in child development & some child psychology. I’ve also done some grade school tutoring as well as a couple of years of online schooling and assisting. I was a volunteer firefighter so I’m trained in first aid & CPR. I’ve cared for severely handicapped adults as well as the elderly with dementia. I like to play tea & pretend, trucks & cars, eat mud pies, play hide n seek & I really love to color! I’m familiar with the developmental stages of children and I’m able to adapt their ever changing challenges. I’m good for a little extra household help. I can do a little light cleaning to help keep the place tidy and germ free. I’m not a half bad cook so I can assist with meal prep. Oh I almost forgot to mention that I have great references, they’re mostly police officers who would love to talk to you. Another thing…. I LOVE ANIMALS…Almost any kind of animal is fine with me. Even some of the creepier ones. I'm a volunteer at NAWS and active in the animal rescue community. I hope this covers everything & if not please feel free to contact me and I’ll respond to you as soon as possible! Thank you for reading & have a great day. I look forward to your reply!
