Chasya E., Child Care in University City, MO 63130 with 13 years of paid experience

My name is Chasya, I'm 32 years old. I speak English and Spanish. And I am looking for a full time nanny position. (30+ hrs, between 7am-5pm) I consider myself reliable, flexible, loving, fun, patient, creative, honest and responsible. A little bit about myself and my childcare experience: I have been a career nanny since 2012 but have over 11+ years of childcare experience with kids from newborn to 12 years old. In those 11+ yrs of experience: I've worked 6 months as a kids swim instructor, 1+ years as a mothers helper, 1+ years as a part time nanny, 3+ years as a full time live-in nanny (including many overnights), 3+ years as a full time live out nanny (including lots of traveling). I'm familiar with potty training, structured routine for kids(prefer it), dropping off and picking up at school, light homework help, light meal preparation, planning outings to kid friendly locations, play dates and swimming with kids! I believe in building a strong relationship with the child(ren) based on love, kindness and respect. I am invested in the children's life and over all their development, emotional, social and intelectual. I still have relationships with many of the kids I've nannied for. I value these life long connections/friendships. So I'm not looking for a transactional relationship. I have experience driving kids, up to 4 kids all in car seats. I have been CPR certified a couple times in the past 15yrs (current certification is expired, but can renew again). Attending Liberty University online part time (BS: Psychology: Christian Counseling) I live in st charles and willing to travel within an hour from my home.

Heidi M., Child Care in University City, MO 63130 with 35 years of paid experience

TEMPORARY AVAILABILTY, PLEASE CONTACT. CURRENT AVAILABILTY NOW - AUG 29. Maybe you are looking for fill-in childcare while looking for someone long-term OR just need random dates. My background check was renewed April 2025. They only last 90 days and I haven't renewed because jobs have been slow on this site. Hello! My name is Heidi, I am 50 years old and have 34 years experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I am kind, patient, have great time management and organizational skills, and above all else, love and adore children. My mother owned and operated an in-home daycare service in our home for 20 years throughout my K-12 years. During college I worked at Martha Rounds Academy for Children (now Elaine Rosi Academy) in Brentwood in the Newborn/Infant room as a care provider for 4 infants in a room of 16 infants and 4 care providers. I was a substitute teacher (all grades) for 7 years for the Lindbergh School District from 2000-2007. I was an independent contractor for TLC for Kids, a babysitter/nanny placement service, from 2014-2018 working for 230 families!! In 2015-2016 I was a Nanny and Estate Manager for a family in Clayton 60 hours/week taking care of their entire estate and their 2 boys, including traveling solo with the boys and stepchildren all over the country and Australia. I have since worked for clients on other platforms and clients from my time at TLC for Kids (now TLC Family Care) I love to do puzzles, arts and crafts, dance, take walks, play sports, read books, bake cookies, imaginative play, play board games, spend time outside...whatever the kids want to do. With babies I am 100% interactive...singing, talking, tummy time, reading, etc., immersing the child into their surroundings. I can help with and supervise virtual learning, homework, and transport children to/from school and other places such as the local park or zoo. I am comfortable with cameras throughout the house and all pets. Flu and Covid-19 vaccinations are both up-to-date. I renewed my Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED 2 year certification on June 10, 2023. I have full coverage car insurance at maximum limits. 4 HOUR MINIMUM. $20/hr for up to 2 children. An additional $2/hr per additional child. I look forward to hearing from you!

Merritt J., Child Care in University City, MO 63130 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

Erin M., Child Care in University City, MO 63130 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi there! I’m Erin, a 35-year-old with a passion for working with children. I’m currently seeking part-time opportunities but am open to full-time work as well. Over the years, I’ve worn a few hats, from nannying to teaching outdoors at Whole Child Montessori School in Portland, and even working as a rock climbing instructor. With a background in English from the University of Missouri - Columbia, I also bring a love for learning and creativity to everything I do. In my free time, you can usually find me climbing, running, or exploring the outdoors on hikes. Adventure and activity are a big part of my life, and I love bringing that spirit to my work with children. My approach is all about empowering kids to make safe, informed decisions while offering plenty of positive reinforcement and compassion. I always make sure to keep things light with a sense of humor and embrace their unique personalities—there’s nothing quite like seeing kids shine in their own goofy ways! With over ten years of experience caring for infants through to older kids, I’m well-equipped for the energy and excitement that comes with the job. Coming from a big family myself, I know how to keep up with the lively atmosphere that kids bring. I especially enjoy encouraging imaginative play, getting outside for adventures, and diving into a good story together. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, and I’d love the chance to connect with you and your family! Warmly, Erin
