Kelly was great with our two little ones. She showed up exactly on time. The kids both asked to play with "Kewwey" after she left.

Hi, I’m Katie! I graduated from Creighton University in 2023 with a degree in psychology. I worked for a year as an assistant preschool teacher at a Montessori school working with kids aged 2.5-7, but I have worked with kids as old as 12. I currently work at Washington University as a research associate in the Psychiatry Department, and our study population is preteen girls. Currently, I am traveling but will be back sometime in October. I will definitely be around for the winter holidays if you need an extra hand! . The most amount of children I have babysat at once is 5, but I am most comfortable with the 1-3 range. When I am babysitting, I prefer to get the kids moving and doing something fun! Whether that’s making up a game or playing with toys they already have, they will have my full attention. I have tutored kids in the past, so I can help with homework and get snacks/meals ready for them. I can clean up around the house during my time with them as well. I used to be a lifeguard and I am CPR certified through my employer as well. Please message me if you’re interested in getting to know me better!

I am an experienced childcare professional with a background as a preschool teacher and nanny, with over a year of professional experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. Through my experience, I have developed strong skills in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, comfortable, and encouraged to grow. As a preschool teacher, I gained hands-on experience caring for young children, planning age-appropriate activities, supporting developmental milestones, and maintaining a structured yet fun environment. I have also recently worked as a nanny for a family, providing personalized care and building strong relationships with the children while helping with their daily routines, activities, and needs. In addition to my professional experience, I have several years of babysitting experience and grew up helping care for younger siblings. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, flexibility, and how to work with children with different personalities, ages, and needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have completed preschool training, allowing me to confidently handle everyday childcare as well as unexpected situations while always prioritizing the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I am currently pursuing my education with plans to build a career in nursing. My passion for helping and caring for others is something I bring into every childcare opportunity. I am dependable, attentive, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. As an athlete, I also enjoy staying active and engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities. My goal is always to provide families with dependable, trustworthy care while creating a positive, safe, and supportive environment where their children can learn, have fun, and feel comfortable.

Hi I'm Jackie! I'm a Lindenwood Alumni with my Bachelors in Communications who is looking to get back to the job I love doing. I started with working at a home daycare at the age of 16. I worked there until I was 21. I loved working with children and I hope to get back into it since it came easy to me before. My job at the daycare included feeding the children for breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack, putting them down for naps, and 'circle time'. Along with this short list came with of course changing diapers/clothes, educational programs, and much more. After I left my position at the daycare I began working as an Activities Assistant at a local nursing home. In this role I was part of the 'fun team'. It was my job to keep my residents happy and make sure they were always busy. Now currently I work at Magellan Health as a customer care associate. This does not bring me the same joy as the nursing home or daycare. I love human interaction and meeting new people. Since the Covid 19 epidemic I have been sent to work from home which has allowed me to help many friends and family in a tight stop when it comes to childcare. This reminded me of my old in home daycare position. It has inspired me to open my home to children who need a safe, fun, educational environment. Thats right. If you bring your child to me during the week I will be able to structured daycare services in my home. Leaving you with the flexibility to pick up and drop off within a reasonable time frame. All this at an extremely discounted rate.
