Find experienced child care providers in Odessa, MO

I started babysitting when I was around 12 as part of a Girl Scout badge. I have lots of nephews and nieces so it came naturally. I am certified in birth through 6th grade and am going into my 15th year of teaching (majority in Prek). I have experience with twins, epilepsy, feeding tubes, food allergies/epi pens, AAC devices, mobility devices, potty training and have worked as a behavior therapist to children with autism. I love playing and creating with children . They see the world in such a wonderful way and when they let you join them it’s wonderful.

I enjoy being around children! I used to be a nanny for a 6 month old little girl, and a 4 year old autistic little boy. I would take them out to jungle gyms,eating, and the zoo. One of the funnest jobs I've had.

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a mom of four with many years of hands-on experience caring for children and supporting busy families. I truly enjoy being someone a family can depend on—not simply a babysitter, but an extra set of trusted hands when life gets busy. I previously owned and operated my own preschool, where I cared for children from infancy through kindergarten and created a structured, nurturing environment focused on learning, creativity, play, and kindergarten readiness. I also hold a Missouri substitute teaching certificate and am CPR and First Aid certified. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with patience, kindness, attentiveness, and good judgment. I’m comfortable helping with everything from childcare and school routines to crafts, outings, homework, meals, transportation, organization, and simply keeping children engaged and having fun. I’m also happy to help families with some of the everyday things that make life easier—running an errand, helping around the house, organizing, transporting children to activities, or stepping in when you simply need another dependable adult. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with pets, and can provide excellent references, including families whose children attended my preschool. I’m also able to provide a clear background check and fingerprint screening. Ultimately, I want to become an extension of the family I work with. Whether you need occasional help, temporary care, date-night coverage, after-school assistance, or a consistent part-time arrangement, I want you to feel confident knowing your family is being cared for by someone who genuinely cares. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and learn how I can make your days a little easier. ❤️

I’ve always enjoyed caring for children and have experience working in my church’s daycare, as well as babysitting for family and friends throughout my life. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for children in both structured childcare settings and one-on-one family environments. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe and comfortable environment where kids can have fun while still having appropriate structure and boundaries. I’m happy to help with playtime, meals and snacks, activities, bedtime routines, light child-related tidying, and other everyday needs. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable with the person caring for their children, and I strive to be someone both parents and kids can trust and feel at ease with. I’m also an animal lover and very comfortable caring for children in homes with pets.

I’m 21 and have lots of experience with kids! I worked in professional childcare for a little under a year. I’ve also done tons of babysitting over the years. I truly love kids and getting to pour into them and be a positive role model!

Big sister of many, I’ve always loved working with kids! I’ve been babysitting for family and friends since I was 13, I’ve done volunteer childcare for a church, and I’ve helped with kids homeschooling.
