Hello All! I am a qualified and responsible Nanny/Caregiver who is a ready to give you amazing parents a break. I am comfortable with all ages - from infant to pre teen. And if you have pets … that’s a plus! I love cuddling babies and animals! I am a dog mom to a handsome Great Dane. I would describe myself as a proactive, positive and flexible person who loves nature and cooking. Open to full or part time opportunities. Multiple children ok.

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.

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 three families whose children have ranged from 2 to 10 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, 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 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.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, have experience with child transportation, and am also comfortable caring for animals. I am currently seeking a part-time opportunity between the hours of 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM. And also occasional babysitting opportunities as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding my experience, availability, or references. Thank you!
