Hello! I am a 22-year-old college student I'd describe my personality as bubbly, outgoing, and sweet. In my spare time, I like to crochet, hang out with my pets (I have 2 cats and 5 parrots), or being in nature! I like working with kids because of their curiosity and energy. I can be creative and help be a part of their growth :) Ideally I would love to build a good relationship with the parents and the kids so something long term is what I want.

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.

My top priority is always to ensure children are in a safe (both physically and emotionally) and nurturing environment where they can learn and have FUN!

My background includes roles as a babysitter, camp counselor, nursery worker at my church, teacher’s aide in elementary schools, preschool teacher, and nanny. Most recently, I worked as a nanny for a family with twin preschoolers for a year and a half. Prior to that, I was a junior preschool teacher for four years at a preschool in Wildwood.

Hi, my name is Zoe! I'm 22 years old and I'm currently a daycare infant teacher. I have over two years of childcare experience, primarily with infants and toddlers but I love kids of all ages. I also have a dog and two cats of my own that I take care of, but I have experience with birds, turtles, and fish as well. In my free time, I like reading, writing, and listening to music.

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a B.S. in English and minor in Catholic Studies in the spring of 2024. I love working with kids as they tend to make life interesting in unexpected and novel ways! Who wouldn’t want their joy? I have worked as a nanny for two families whose children have ranged from 2 to 6.5 years of age. I have experience with potty training, maintaining routines, engaging kids in age appropriate activities, snack and lunch times, and buckling kids into front and rear facing car seats with 5-point harnesses. I work closely with families to ensure I follow their parenting style, discipline standards, and routine - communication is a vital element of my job. Outside of nannying, I have taught reading and phonics to students of all ages with disabilities at a tutoring center called Lindamood-Bell. I also have experience working as a substitute teacher. I love working with children, specifically students, because passing on knowledge is so fulfilling for me. I am looking for more experience working one-on-one with children in order to prepare me to homeschool my own future kids. Thank you for viewing my profile!
