Find experienced child care providers in Eureka, MO

Hi! My name is Merritt :) I am a recent graduate from Butler University with a BS in Biochemistry and a minor in Healthcare Administration. I am currently taking a gap year while applying to medical schools with goals to pursue a career as a physician scientist specializing in pediatric oncology. I am passionate about providing children with safe, joyful, and nurturing care. I have spent the last 7 years working with children of all ages--from newborns to teenagers-- and multiples (up to four children at any one time, including nanny share) as well as children with both medical and developmental special needs. My background working and volunteering in healthcare and childcare allows me to approach every situation with a level-head, confidence, and compassion. I am EMT-B trained as well as certified in CPR/First-Aid and "Stop the Silence" CSA prevention. I am happy to assist with meal prep, light cleaning, laundry, errands, and pet care. I love the outdoors, animals, crafts, puzzles, and creating hands-on activities that spark curiosity and creativity in kids. I am always looking for a long-term opportunity with a family who values warmth, structure, and strong communication; I am open to overnight positions (with negotiable rates). Please reach out with any questions--I'd love to learn more about your family's needs!

I am 34 years old. I have cumulatively about 10 years of nannying/babysitting experience. In highschool at the age of 16, I babysat and took care of my baby and toddler cousin on a part-time basis. In college, I was an after-school nanny caring for a 6-year old and driving/taking her to activities. I had a full-time position caring for a 10-month and homeschooling a 4-year old. I have worked with special needs children. I have managed a household. I have worked with several twin toddler families on an as-needed basis. I have done overnight care for an infant. I have watched as many as 5 children at once. I have professional teaching and tutoring experience. I play tennis and violin. I promote enriching activities for children. I'm sort of a germaphobe so I am very good about being clean and keeping things clean! I am a non-smoker. I do have a college degree. I will care for your children as if they were my own.

Hi! My name is Lexie and I’ve been in childcare since I was able! I started babysitting when I was 10 to my nieces and nephews before babysitting locally through my teen years to multiple families, all of whom I watched until I left my hometown. Once I turned 18 and left for college, I had a few families I watched part time through care.com. When I took a break from school in 2019, I became a nanny to a family with then 5, now 6 children. I currently work at a childcare facility (I have had a state background check, been fingerprinted, and completed both infant/child/adult CPR and first aid, as well as safe sleep courses) assisting ages 6 weeks-5 years and am a nanny to an almost one year old. I am also a personal care attendant a few evenings throughout the week. I have experience with children with behavioral needs as well as medical, I am well versed on anything your child may need! I am comfortable with any age, any amount, and any pets! I like to think of myself as a chaos coordinator of fun fanatics! Every day is an opportunity to learn a lesson or make a memory, and some days we’ll find a way to do both. I look forward to chatting more! I can send references upon request. Thank you for your time.

I want to work with kids in a professional setting and I think babysitting will help me reach that goal. I am very passionate when it comes to working with children and I do my best when it comes to making kids feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

I have sat for a neighborhood couple who had a 5 month old son and a 1 yr old daughter, which were both left in my care on a continuous basis for about a year. I have 2 nieces, which I have sat for on a semi-continuous basis since they were newborns and they are now 13 and 14. I have also sat for a single mother whose 1 year old daughter I have cared for since she was a newborn. I have nannied for a couple who had a 2 year old boy and a 4 month old babygirl. I was a nanny for a family who had twins (boy,girl) and a 5 year old daughter. I was with this family for 2 years, but due to the father's job, they relocated to another state. I have an endless amount of experience with newborns/infants (even preemie). Anywhere from newborns/infants to toddler age is my preference but I do have experience with older kids. Majority of experience is with the younger age group!

Hello! I have over 20 years of experience in childcare. I’ve worked extensively in both homes and childcare settings and with a variety of ages. I’m passionate about early childhood education and birth to 5 are my favorite ages! I’m trained in Reggio Emilia inspired learning, and I believe in a true child centered approach. My language with children is always intentional and sounds similar to the gentle parenting techniques. This includes clear boundaries presented in a respectful, logical and consistent manner. I’m laid back and flexible, and most of all seek to have fun engaging with children! Early language development is a passion of mine as I have a background as a special education teacher who focused on verbal behavior. Many current references are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you!

I genuinely love spending time with children. My mom was one of 9 children. I have been taking care of younger cousins since I was a pre-teen. With my college training I have a good understanding of child development, and can provide children with developmentally appropriate activities. I am a good communicator with both children and parents, and always keep in mind that parents have the final say. I am energetic, fun, flexible and patient. When children lose their temper or become irritated, I know how to stay calm and divert their attention to something positive. I strive to be proactive instead of reactive. I understand that I am solely responsible for a child's care and must always put safety first. Reliability, responsibility, and trustworthiness are all strong values of mine. I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of children in my care. I want to be sensitive to a child's needs, and build an engaging day around the child's interests. I am dependable. You can count on me to show up every day with a positive attitude and ready to work with your child.
