Hello, my name is Randy. I have over 40 years working with children in a multitude of diverse roles. I started babysitting at 13, to Nannying, to Daycare (Infant room to Site Director), to Substitute Teaching (all grades), to the State of MO in Social Services as a Foster Care Worker & CA/N Hotline Investigator, to my last professional role as a Unit, House 6, Supervisor at a Therapeutic Residential Treatment Facility. 9 years ago, at 46, I took an early retirement to live out some dreams, one of which was to motorcycle the continental US, Canada & Mexico. About a year ago I decided to return to work in Childcare again at 52. I'm currently working M-F, 8-5 as both a Lead Pre-K Teacher (school year) & Lead School-Aged Summer Camp Counselor (Summers). I'm currently FT. Honestly, being a Nanny again would suit my lifestyle better at this time Read more in a more personalized, relaxed, home setting focusing on all aspects of fostering child development. Being a Babysitter & Nanny for families were some of the best experiences I've ever had. I've Babysat & Nannied for all ages (infant to 14), cultures & genders, from 1-5 children. Most of the families I've worked for were 1-3 children. I love my current position as a Pre-K Teacher/Summer Camp Counselor, though I'm always willing to help out parents some eves & weekends who need a quality Babysitter. It's a good break from the classroom setting. I don't smoke, am physically fit, trained & skilled in childcare, responsible, reliable, emotionally & cognitively mature, love pets, have a clean driving record, fully insured & a Class E (Chauffeur) on my DL. I'm happy to provide copies of my resume, recent Childcare DHSS/MO State Highway Patrol fingerprint childcare background checks, CPR-Infant/Adult/AED, ongoing Childcare training class certifications, references, recent physical & TB test & any other paperwork you may require. I do hope you consider me, would love the opportunity to talk more about my qualifications & to meet your family to see if it's a good fit. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time, Randy

I hired Randy to watch my daughter and her three cousins for two late nights when I was in town for my brother's wedding. The kids loved him. He really does have a way with children and I was very grateful for his skills and availability. The group he watched was made of two 6 year olds, a 7 year old, and an 8 year old. He was unfazed and did a great job.

I cannot say enough beautiful things about Randy. My husband Pat and I were looking for a very unique and special person to care for our very special little person. I don't know if it was cosmic karma or the universe speaking but we connected with Randy. Randy speaks little person. He sees their souls, their hearts, their joy for life, and he makes them feel worthy of anything they choose to accomplish. He creates courage and curiosity. He has a deep understanding of what helps to build a psycho-socio-emotionally healthy child. He is a God send and it is clear his purpose in life is to grow other humans. We are so grateful to have come to know him. He sees your tiny human in a way that few people are able to- truly. He sees through their eyes. He has a gift.
