I grew up with 2 younger sisters and I have cared for them my whole life. I also am going to be a high school teacher, and would love more experience to work with kids. I am CPR certified and my mom is an ER nurse so I know a bit about health and care. I’m calm and confident in emergency situations as well.

Alissa A., Child Care in Columbia, MO 65203 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Alissa, and I love working with children. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including caring for families with 3 or more kids, and I'm infant and child CPR certified. I'll be working weekends at BJC St. Louis' trauma center and I am looking to fill out my weekdays a little bit more. I have a reliable car, and manage my time well. I'm also very tidy and happy to help around the house, but I also love being active and having fun with kids (I love crafts, hikes, and anything outdoors myself) I'm an animal lover (especially dogs!) and always aim to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children.

Anna G., Child Care in Columbia, MO 65203 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi there!!! My name is Anna, and I have just recently moved to Knoxville to complete an internship at Dolly Children’s! This past May before moving, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Science. With my degree and internship experience, I hope to become a Certified Child Life Specialist, supporting kiddos and their families in coping with the ups and downs of hospitalization! I have always loved caring for others and feeling like I am directly impacting their lives, and this occupation will allow me to do just that for not only vulnerable children, but their families and the people that mean the most to them too. I think what sets me apart is how willing I am to not only provide whatever care I can, but also learn from all of my experiences! I really believe I can apply all of the lessons I learn in my childcare experiences to my future opportunities, and I take that really seriously. I cannot wait to have more opportunities like this because of your consideration, and am so excited to start meeting new families soon!

Jaeda A., Child Care in Columbia, MO 65203 with 4 years of paid experience

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe around. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them entertained, and helping make their day a little easier for both them and their parents. I also enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and being involved in their routines while making sure they feel cared for and supported. What experience do you have? I have experience working with children in both childcare and behavioral settings. I worked at a child development center where I cared for children, helped with daily routines, supervised activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I also have experience as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I worked one-on-one with children and gained experience with communication, behavior support, patience, and individualized care. These experiences have taught me how to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. What skills and training do you have? I am a Certified Registered Behavior Technician and have training and experience in child development, behavior support, communication, and maintaining a safe environment for children. I am patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable handling different situations that may come up while caring for children. I’m also comfortable following parents’ instructions and routines and communicating with parents about their child’s day.
