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, 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 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.

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, my name is Zoe! I'm 22 years old and I'm currently a daycare infant teacher. I have over two years of childcare experience, primarily with infants and toddlers but I love kids of all ages. I also have a dog and two cats of my own that I take care of, but I have experience with birds, turtles, and fish as well. In my free time, I like reading, writing, and listening to music.

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.
