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!

Hello! I’m Samantha, and I love babysitting because it gives me the chance to support kids in a safe, positive, and fun environment. I enjoy reading with children, playing games, and encouraging creativity, as well as helping with homework and daily routines. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable managing multiple children at once. I’m also a nursing student and certified phlebotomist, so families can feel confident that I take safety seriously. I’m trained in CPR/First Aid, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. Parents I’ve worked with describe me as dependable, warm, and responsible. I’m happy to help with transportation, meal prep, bedtime, and light household tasks, and I always aim to create a positive, engaging experience for each child.

Hi! My name is Jaidyn. I am looking for something to do that I enjoy. I have been nannying/babysitting for 6 years so I have a lot of experience with child care. I live in Wentzville and have lived here for about 9 years. I just recently left the goddard school and now searching for a babysitting/nannying position. I enjoy working in childcare because it allows me to contribute to children's growth and development in meaningful ways. Each day presents new opportunities to engage, teach, and support children as they reach important milestones. I think I would be the perfect fit for families looking for someone to care for their children as much as they do. In my free time I love to go on walks and spend time with family.

First of all, I am a single mom. I retired from the medical field in 1999 to work at my daughter’s daycare, where I started as a temp and soon became the lead infant teacher in the nursery. I loved the work so much that I chose not to return to the hospital and instead began a career in Early Childhood Education. For seven years, I cared for four infants daily, trained new teachers, and helped oversee the care of ten additional infants. In 2008, one of our daycare families hired me as their private nanny, and I’ve continued supporting families throughout the west county area of St. Louis ever since. I truly enjoy helping families with newborns and toddlers—it’s both fascinating and deeply rewarding. I understand the emotions new moms face when returning to work and leaving their infants with someone new; I went through the same thing when my daughter was only three months old. I have college credit hours in Early Childhood Education and have successfully taught preschool curriculum to groups of six toddlers. I’m experienced with all aspects of newborn and infant care, including bottle-feeding (breast milk and formula), baby food, diapering, swaddling, sleep training, and supporting developmental milestones. I’ve helped many infants learn to crawl, talk, and walk—yes, they often say “DaDa” first! I believe in maintaining a consistent daytime schedule and keep a detailed daily log for parents, covering diapers, feedings, and meals. I also have experience caring for newborn twins. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 16 years of full-time experience as an infant nanny. I plan to continue caring for babies for as long as I am physically able, as I truly can’t imagine doing anything more fulfilling.

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.
