Emmi K., Child Care in Springfield, MO 65807 with 8 years of paid experience

My most recent long-term babysitting job was for a family with three kids and a dog. I worked at a summer camp every summer for 4 years, watching girls anywhere from age 5 to 18. I am first aid and CPR certified, and have completed classes and training courses on child development. I taught summer school for elementary special education for 2 months. Although I do not have a background check directly with this site, I work as a substitute teacher and have a background check with the school system.

Kamryn H., Child Care in Springfield, MO 65807 with 2 years of paid experience

As a natural caregiver with 2 years of experience, I'm passionate about providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive and learn. My background includes attending college to become a Respiratory Therapist. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, allows me to connect easily with children and build strong relationships. I believe in fostering a structured environment while also allowing children to explore their interests. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy a variety of games, from outdoor sports to educational activities that promote learning. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to assist with tasks such as cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping.

Jennifer I., Child Care in Springfield, MO 65807 with 7 years of paid experience

I have been a full time nanny for going on eight years. I love what I do and have cared for dozens of children in my career. I have experience with all ages and a long list of qualifications and certifications including CPR/First Aid, child nutrition, child psychology etc. I am by no means that Pinterest nanny but I love to do crafts and science experiments and love to cook and bake. I have references and backgrounds available on request. I am currently looking for an afternoon/evening job for the summer as I will be working 900-1400 every week day with current long term job. I am also looking for a full time position for the 21-22 school year and on, as my current charge will be going into school full time.

Emilia B., Child Care in Springfield, MO 65807 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Emmy and for as long as I can remember, helping, caring and supporting kids has been my passion!! I have a strong background in children’s education, completing an internship at a preschool + early learning development center, I serve in the children’s ministry of my church, and I have years of experience with babysitting. I stepped away to focus full time on cosmetology school, and now as a new hairstylist, I want to get back into my dearly missed passion of caring of your kiddos! In my free time, I love to cook, read, okay pickleball and spend time with my fiance and friends.
