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.

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!

Hi, my name is Sydney and I love working with children. I am currently a senior at Missouri Baptist University getting my Biomedical degree and Nursing degree. Once I graduate I will be working in pediatrics. I have always been great with kids and I can wait to work with them everyday while nursing. I have babysat since I was 14 and have never had a problem. I am a great listener, problem solver, and I’m very caring. I know CPR and have worked in a hospital for multiple years before, I have also coached soccer and volleyball. I have worked with kids on many different levels and have loved every minute of it. I can help with anything you need around the house and ai love adventures, I feel like taking a child to a park or museum is always better than just sitting in front of a screen although I always enjoy a movie night. I am very patient and take my time teaching a child to make sure they really understand, I never want to rush through anything, not with coaching or just basics things like helping with homework. I would love to start babysitting more and love working with all ages of children:)

I'm a really friendly person and I love people and I love children and I'm pretty good at teaching kids I have friends that have kids and I hang out with them a lot

I am a passionate childcare provider, who strives to create a fun, stimulating, safe, and nurturing environment where your child can learn and grow! It’s my goal to create an environment that that continually fosters social, emotional, and cognitive development. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and am currently in school working on a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, and a Child Development Associate (CDA). I have 4+ years of childcare experience from internships at elementary schools and preschools, babysitting, and teaching at an educational childcare center. I have experience with children ranging from infancy to 12 years old.

Hello, I’m excited to be applying for this job. My name is Madelyn Haywood but I usually go by Maddie. I’m 22 years old and in December I will have two Bachelor science degrees in Criminology/Criminal Justice and Crime Scene Investigation. I went to Nursing school for a year but decided to take a break partly for my mental health and also because of COVID. My whole life I have loved children and grew up babysitting my 6 cousins lots of times as well as my own special needs brother. My cousins were aged 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 6 months when I first began in high school. The oldest child is special needs and needs extra care such as tube feeding. I also grew up with a special needs older brother who could not talk or walk. I would always play with him/entertain him, help clean and change his diaper, and help feed him. I always put others first in my care and care about their comfort and feelings. He passed away unfortunately, but he had such an impact on me and my heart. I feel he made me extremely caring and selfless. I always put others first in my care and care about their comfort and feelings. I have worked at a daycare for three years and absolutely love my job and all the children. I enjoy teaching children with interactive activities such as sensory play and art and crafts with learning elements such as colors, shapes, numbers, letters, animals etc. I have worked with every age from infant to school age children. Being with kids is such a rewarding job to see them grow and change. In the past three years, I have seen so many kids grow up and it's incredible to see and be there to witness it. I couldn't imagine having any other job than working with kids. I also am somewhat of a “magnet” for children. I have been told many times that children are “attracted to my energy”, they always smile, and want me to hold them. I like having this quality and I would love to get the opportunity to Nanny for your family. As I grow in my life and careers, applying my skills to help others and make an impact on the world becomes more important. I believe this role would give me that opportunity. Thank you for your consideration and time. I’m looking forward to learning more details about this position. Any questions or concerns feel free to contact me any time. Sincerely, Maddie Haywood

I am an experienced, loving nanny with over 20 years of childcare experience, specializing in infants care. I worked for 6 years in a preschool, where I was honored as Teacher of the Year (2006). I have also been a private nanny for two families—one for 6 years and another for 4 years—and I have excellent references available. In addition to infant care, I have worked with children of all ages up to grade school, including experience in public school settings and with children who have special needs. I bring a calm, nurturing, and knowledgeable approach to care and am creative, affectionate, and attentive, with a strong understanding of child development, routines, and emotional needs. I am also a mother to a 14-year-old daughter, which further enriches my experience and perspective. I am currently seeking a part-time nanny position and have fairly flexible availability. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can thrive.

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!
