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.

Claire was an extremely professional young lady who always came prepared with activities every day for her and my daughter to do together. She was extremely close with my daughter and tailored their activities to what my kid liked to do, whether it be painting or color, arts and crafts etc. You will not go wrong with hiring Claire as a babysitter; she became family to us, and she did a lot more than any hired babysitter might do: she truly loved our daughter. Claire took great care in nurturing her young mind, and went out of her way to make our daughter feel special. She was our babysitter for roughly two years until we moved away. You will not find a better or more nurturing person to care for your children.

Hi! My name is Olive, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages through nanying, regular babysitting, transportation help, and camp counseling. I currently work for multiple families on both a regular and occasional basis, helping with school pickups and drop-offs, after-school care, playtime, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged in a safe and supportive environment. I previously worked as a nanny for a family of five, caring for three children ages 3-7, where I was heavily involved in daily routines, activities, meals, outings, and family trips. I've served as a junior camp counselor at Central Studio, helping young campers engage in creative activities while ensuring a fun and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I have experience in customer service and team leadership, working at Oberweis Dairy and as a manager at Snarf's Sandwiches. These roles have strengthened my responsibility, patience, and multitasking skills, which I bring to every babysitting job. I love working with kids, whether it's through creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework. Looking forward to meeting your family! - Olive

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!

Merritt was a fantastic baby sitter for our 2 kids! She was incredibly responsible, organized and accommodating to our 1 and 9 year old. The kids gravitated towards her immediately! She was very caring and engaging; the kids loved their time with her. Playing, feeding and night time routines-she did it all. With her depth of childcare experience we always knew our kids were safe and secure in her hands.

I am a trusted caregiver, whom has cared for many children. I provide a fun, creative environment for your child to enjoy his/her day.I love to teach, and feel it is important to always lead by example, Children look to adults for examples of kindness,sharing and positive behavior. I really have a great time caring for children of all ages. I am aware of their stages of development, and get the biggest kick out of seeing the excitement on their face when the accomplish something new. I cook as organically as possible, and currently cook for a child with food allergies. Most importantly, I understand the importance of communication between myself and you as a parent, I am a big note taker, and I will keep you informed on your children's day. I think it is important to keep your home neat and tidy. Thank-You. Lynne

Lynne has been SO helpful for us. She always arrives a few minutes early to go over things for the day before I leave. She always leaves me notes from what went on that day, activities they did, how many poops he had, etc. My son is happy when I get home- so he must like her! I'm a new mom and she always has good tips to share with me too! She always picks up after herself, my son, and even helps me get the kitchen in order!

Carolina was exceptional! My family was visiting STL from out of state so hiring a babysitter was a scary thought. I read through Carolina’s reviews about how wonderful she was, and that paired with her au pair experience put my mind at ease. She was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, and immediately went to work making a playful connection with my toddler. She sent photos throughout the evening and my girls loved her. I would absolutely recommend Carolina, she is warm and nurturing, jumps right into action with the kiddos. Hire her!

Hello, My name is Sholonda. I have 19 years of hands-on childcare experience, including the past 14 years supporting elementary students as an Instructional Assistant and before that, 5 years working in early childhood education in a preschool setting. I currently work for the Wentzville School District as an Instructional Assistant supporting elementary-aged children, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, guiding behavior positively, and keeping kids engaged, safe, and supported. I also have experience with date nights and overnight care, and I can provide strong references. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring a calm, reliable presence into every home. I love adding creativity to childcare and offer optional fun themed weekly activities—like arts & crafts, simple cooking, creative writing and taking trips to finish out the themed week (ex: taking a trip to the zoo, etc) with your permission of course. I provide the supplies for our projects; families just need to have a flat workspace (great for watercolor painting and crafts) and access to basics like a kitchen when needed. I’d love to support your family! Please note my availability:*** I’ll be working summer school in June from 8am–12pm, but I’m available after that for camp pick-ups and evening care. In July and August, I’m available for full-day care, including camp drop-offs and pick-ups if needed.***

Hello! My name is Maddie. I’ve been working with kids for several years and have been paid for 4. I have experience with all ages and can change diapers as well as helped potty train. I love working with kids and helping them become the wonderful little people we know they can be. I am first aid and CPR certified and know how to remain calm in difficult situations with kids. I would love the opportunity to help care for your kids and help make your day a little bit easier. What I enjoy about sitting is getting to help kids feel comfortable in their own homes and have fun with them as well as helping with all the day to day little things. I enjoy getting to help out around the house because I know parents are busy and i love getting to do my part. I’ve always loved working with kids and I love singing to them, playing games with them, or even just laying with them. I am very excited for the chance to help with your kids and hang out with them!

Maddie was perfect teacher for my 3 year old daughter. My daughter isn’t afraid to push the line and Maddie was able to help her see that line in a loving caring environment where my daughter could still be herself!
Sarah K.
- 3 years paid experience

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 three families whose children have ranged from 2 to 10 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 Emma, I’m 18 (turning 19 in May), and I will be continuing college next semester pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice with plans to become a police officer. Responsibility, leadership, and safety are values I take seriously in every part of my life. I have been a certified lifeguard for 4 years and hold current American Red Cross certifications in CPR (infant, child, and adult), First Aid, and AED. Safety is always my top priority, and I am trained to remain calm, attentive, and quick-thinking in any situation. As the oldest of four siblings, caregiving has always been second nature to me. I have years of hands-on experience helping raise my younger siblings and have also babysat for families outside of my own. I am comfortable caring for multiple children, maintaining routines, assisting with homework, preparing meals, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and fun environment where children feel supported and parents feel completely confident in their choice. I am dependable, patient, protective, and treat every child in my care like family. I look forward to connecting with your family!
