Alyssa D., Nanny in Independence, MO 64055 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi i'm great with getting to know people and new surroundings. Once I get a routine going there's no stopping me. I cook, clean, watch, entertain, and whatever you ask as long as the kids come first, your wish is my command!! I love kids I'm around them a lot. I have 6 nephews 3 nieces!! I spend a lot of time with them. I just finished a job working 6 hours or more a day with a 3 month old and a 3 year old. I cooked, cleaned carpets, took care of the dog, the kids, lunches, bottles, baths and more!! I did above and beyond my job just because I wanted to make their life easier. If you need someone I'm your lady!!! Thank you for your time.

Eiley H., Nanny in Independence, MO 64055 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Eiley! I’m almost 21 years old and have been a nanny for about 7 years. I’ve worked with children of all ages — from as young as 2–3 months old up to 19 years old, including children with disabilities and special needs. Most of my experience is with infants, toddlers, and young children under 5–6 years old, often caring for little siblings at the same time. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children and have cared for up to 4 at once. I also went through my EMT, which includes infant and child CPR, choking response, and Stop the Bleed training. Your child’s safety is always my top priority, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I have up to 6 strong references available and pride myself on being dependable, patient, nurturing, and adaptable. I’m extremely flexible with hours, pay, and household expectations — whether that includes light housekeeping, meal prep, organizing, or helping wherever needed to make your home run smoothly. I truly love what I do and aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and encouraged to grow with lots of different activities in and or outside the house!

Clara B., Nanny in Independence, MO 64055 with 7 years of paid experience

I am a charismatic, kind, and safety-oriented childcare worker who loves connecting with children and seeing what makes them tick. I am currently working in a behavior analysis clinic where I work one-on-one with autistic youth (4yrs-9yrs). I love this work but am looking to get back into nannying. I have nannied for families with littles (1yr-4yrs) for the most part, but feel comfortable around and have experience with all ages! I value safety and educational enrichment above all else, I try to minimize screen time when watching children. I love exposing children to new activities and expanding their horizons, whether that be outdoors, finding museums, exploring libraries, swimming (I am a certified lifeguard with years of swim lesson instruction under my belt), cooking/baking, or educational games. I implement boundaries with kids in a clear and compassionate manner, and am happy to have conversations with kids around these boundaries (terminating unsafe, inappropriate, or unkind behaviors). I like having discussions with parents around their approach and philosophy toward childcare/parenting to make sure I am representing their values properly when working with their kids. I take a lot of pride in my work with children, it brings me so much joy to be a childcare provider. I like to read, work out, go on walks, hang with my cats, find events with live music, make tasty food, and see my friends/family in my free time. I am comfortable working with children that have disabilities, given I am provided background information and specific instructions for their needs. I am comfortable with transporting myself/children around town and having animals around too. I look forward to hearing from you!

Marie M., Nanny in Independence, MO 64055 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello, Caring for children has shaped my entire professional life. I actually began my career as a nanny many years ago, supporting families in their homes. I loved being part of a child’s daily world — helping with homework at the kitchen table, organizing creative afternoon activities, walking to the park, listening to their stories about school. That experience inspired me to become a teacher. For more than 25 years now, I have worked with children between the ages of 3 and 11. In the classroom, I have guided shy children to find their confidence, helped energetic ones channel their energy positively, and supported students who needed extra patience and encouragement. I’ve learned to truly observe children — to understand what they need emotionally, not just academically. But even as a teacher, what I value most are the small, meaningful moments: reading together, encouraging creativity through art projects, exploring outdoors, or celebrating a child’s progress when something finally “clicks.” As a mother of two (now grown), I also understand family life from a parent’s perspective — the importance of routines, safety, communication, and trust. I know how reassuring it is to leave your children with someone who is calm, responsible, and genuinely joyful. Being born and raised in France and fluent in English, I also enjoy sharing language and culture naturally through daily activities, stories, and conversation. I would love to bring my background in education, my experience with children from preschool through elementary age, and my warm, structured approach to your family. Whether it’s homework support, after-school activities, creative projects, or maintaining consistent routines, my goal is always the same: to help children feel secure, confident, and happy. I would be honored to support your family. Warmly, Marie
