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'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 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!

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:)
