I am 34 years old. I have cumulatively about 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience. In highschool at the age of 16, I babysat and took care of my baby and toddler cousin on a part-time basis. In college, I was an after-school nanny caring for a 6-year old and driving/taking her to activities. I had a full-time position caring for a 10-month and homeschooling a 4-year old. I have worked with special needs children. I have managed a household. I have worked with several twin toddler families on an as-needed basis. I have done overnight care for an infant. I have watched as many as 5 children at once. I have professional teaching and tutoring experience. I play tennis and violin. I promote enriching activities for children. I'm sort of a germaphobe so I am very good about being clean and keeping things clean! I am a non-smoker. I do have a college degree. I will care for your children as if they were my own.

Our experience with Carolina was wonderful. She was a prompt and proactive communicator, and was great with our son. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our son was in good hands. Highly recommend!

I'm a childcare provider with a deep passion for nurturing children's growth and development. My patient and creative nature allows me to engage children with educational and imaginative activities, making their time in my care enjoyable and stimulating. With 4 years of daycare experience, CPR certification, Safe Sleep certification and 11 hours of Early Child Development coursework, I'm well-equipped to handle up to 4 children of various ages (0-11). I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and using their preferred method of contact. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. From outdoor games to board games and puzzles, I love participating in a variety of activities that promote learning and fun. I'm also willing to assist with light housekeeping. In addition to children, I also have a love for animals and have two dogs of my own. I would love to help with your family's childcare needs.

Claire was an extremely professional young lady who always came prepared with activities every day for her and my daughter to do together. She was extremely close with my daughter and tailored their activities to what my kid liked to do, whether it be painting or color, arts and crafts etc. You will not go wrong with hiring Claire as a babysitter; she became family to us, and she did a lot more than any hired babysitter might do: she truly loved our daughter. Claire took great care in nurturing her young mind, and went out of her way to make our daughter feel special. She was our babysitter for roughly two years until we moved away. You will not find a better or more nurturing person to care for your children.

Hi! My name is Olive, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages through nanying, regular babysitting, transportation help, and camp counseling. I currently work for multiple families on both a regular and occasional basis, helping with school pickups and drop-offs, after-school care, playtime, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged in a safe and supportive environment. I previously worked as a nanny for a family of five, caring for three children ages 3-7, where I was heavily involved in daily routines, activities, meals, outings, and family trips. I've served as a junior camp counselor at Central Studio, helping young campers engage in creative activities while ensuring a fun and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I have experience in customer service and team leadership, working at Oberweis Dairy and as a manager at Snarf's Sandwiches. These roles have strengthened my responsibility, patience, and multitasking skills, which I bring to every babysitting job. I love working with kids, whether it's through creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework. Looking forward to meeting your family! - Olive

Hi families! I’m Val 😊 I’m a 27-year-old experienced nanny based in University City, currently looking for occasional or recurring babysitting on weekends. I have experience with multiple children of different ages, and I also worked as an Au Pair, which gave me valuable hands-on experience with daily routines, structure, and building strong bonds with kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and bilingual (Spanish & English). I’m also very active (I was a national swimmer for 6 years), so I love keeping kids engaged through play, outdoor activities, and a healthy routine. Non-smoker, pet-friendly, and no allergies. Feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!

Elleni has been absolutely amazing for our family. Our kids LOVE playing with her - she's upbeat, energetic, has seemingly endless patience, and creative with activities for kids of different ages. She's flexible and reliable too. 5 stars, 10 out of 10, all the good things.

Hi! My name is Merritt :) I am a recent graduate from Butler University with a BS in Biochemistry and a minor in Healthcare Administration. I am currently taking a gap year while applying to medical schools with goals to pursue a career as a physician scientist specializing in pediatric oncology. I am passionate about providing children with safe, joyful, and nurturing care. I have spent the last 7 years working with children of all ages--from newborns to teenagers-- and multiples (up to four children at any one time, including nanny share) as well as children with both medical and developmental special needs. My background working and volunteering in healthcare and childcare allows me to approach every situation with a level-head, confidence, and compassion. I am EMT-B trained as well as certified in CPR/First-Aid and "Stop the Silence" CSA prevention. I am happy to assist with meal prep, light cleaning, laundry, errands, and pet care. I love the outdoors, animals, crafts, puzzles, and creating hands-on activities that spark curiosity and creativity in kids. I am always looking for a long-term opportunity with a family who values warmth, structure, and strong communication; I am open to overnight positions (with negotiable rates). Please reach out with any questions--I'd love to learn more about your family's needs!

Gifted expertise with children of all ages! Newborn to 18 Hello! My name is AJ and I love children! Every child is unique and special; they deserve nothing less than my absolute best! Having 6 siblings myself, I have also worked with children in many capacities by advocating and caring for them through direct care, supervisory administrative roles & non profit boards. My formal education includes having an associates and bachelors degree in psychology. In addition to earning a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I will complete my HTR for horticultural therapy in September. I am a gentle spirited, advanced clinical counseling therapist trainee at a local psychoanalytic clinic pursuing licensure for private practice. In my free time, I enjoy stand-up comedy; as a hobby I raise chickens, bees and grow a large fruit and vegetable garden. I enjoy cooking, landscaping and staring at the stars :) :) I am here to meet the needs of your family! It’s my pleasure & joy. Please openly cater your experience with me by informing me of what your child enjoys most: academics, nature, gaming, festivals or quiet time. Rest easy in the comfort of knowing your child’s safety, curiosity, interests and fun are my top priority.

AJ has been a huge blessing to our family, she is so gentle, kind, and caring with our little one. I love when I hear her reading and playing with her, she has a huge heart that shines through. She very quickly has become part of our family and makes you feel so comfortable and confident with her. She has made the transition going back to work as painless as possible, she sends pictures and videos and truly cares for her families. We hope she will remain a part of our family for a long time.

Hello, My name is Sholonda. I have 19 years of hands-on childcare experience, including the past 14 years supporting elementary students as an Instructional Assistant and before that, 5 years working in early childhood education in a preschool setting. I currently work for the Wentzville School District as an Instructional Assistant supporting elementary-aged children, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, guiding behavior positively, and keeping kids engaged, safe, and supported. I also have experience with date nights and overnight care, and I can provide strong references. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring a calm, reliable presence into every home. I love adding creativity to childcare and offer optional fun themed weekly activities—like arts & crafts, simple cooking, creative writing and taking trips to finish out the themed week (ex: taking a trip to the zoo, etc) with your permission of course. I provide the supplies for our projects; families just need to have a flat workspace (great for watercolor painting and crafts) and access to basics like a kitchen when needed. I’d love to support your family! Please note my availability:*** I’ll be working summer school in June from 8am–12pm, but I’m available after that for camp pick-ups and evening care. In July and August, I’m available for full-day care, including camp drop-offs and pick-ups if needed.***

Hi, my name is Simone! I recently graduated from the University of Maryland and am starting law school in the fall. I have loved working with kids my entire life. My favorite age group is toddlers/preschoolers, but I have experience with kids of all ages. I am looking for summer nannying or babysitting opportunities, as well as part-time opportunities during the school year. I have 6 years of experience working with kids as a camp counselor and babysitter, including children with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have my own car. My focus is to provide a safe, routine-focused, and supportive space for your child where they will be able to learn and grow. I love crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and spending time outdoors. I am firm but kind and I approach childcare with empathy, patience, and respect. In my personal time, I enjoy trying new recipes, playing piano, reading, playing chess, and sewing. I look forward to meeting you!
