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.

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 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!

I'm an energetic sitter with a genuine passion for caring for kids. I recently left my jobs as a lead infant teacher to care for my baby girl who is now 2 months. I would like to be able to bring her along with me while helping you and your family out. I'm CPR + First Aid certified and have experience with children of all ages, particularly babies and toddlers. I can help with meal prep, diaper changes, nap times, activities and house cleanup. I do have my drivers license but I do not have a car at the moment. I'm patient, enjoy building connections with kids, and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities.

I would love to spend this time helping your family with any extra childcare needed! I have extensive experience and success with potty training, am cpr/first aid certified, have had trainings in many areas including lead teacher, safe sleep, and SIDS prevention, and am currently working on my CDA.

Hi, friends! I am currently a Missouri DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) Certified Substitute Teacher for both the Wentzville and Francis Howell School districts! I am registered with Missouri’s Family Care Safety Registry and have completed all required background screenings to work as a substitute teacher in public schools. I’m happy to provide documentation upon request. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have over 15 years of childcare experience, working with children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I have extensive knowledge in infant and newborn care, including safe sleep, car seat safety, baby-led weaning, and safely handling breast milk. I am pursuing my degree in Elementary Education and have three wonderful children of my own. I believe in treating children with respect and meeting them where they are. I value their individuality. 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!
