$25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in early childcare since January 2021 when I started at Kindercare. There, I taught all ages from pre-k down, having my own toddler classroom with 4 children on my own for a year, before settling with infants. I now work at Kol Rinah ECC as an infant teacher, as well as regularly babysitting for many of my families. Infants and toddlers are my favorite humans, but always stoked to hang out with big kids too! I am originally from the UK, where I got my degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I have lived in St Louis since 2013. I am also a children's author with Penguin Random House, and I have a passion for childhood literature.

Hi! I’m Kareena, a sophomore student at UC Berkeley studying biology and public health. Previously, I worked as a Kumon instructor for children ages 3-18. I speak English, Spanish, Hindi, and Telugu. I can assist with cooking, meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, errands, swim supervision, language learning, and remote learning. I am CPR certified and have an active EMT license. I’d love to ensure your kids become the best version of themselves they can be!

Kareena spent the day with my 4 year old who LOVED her and is already begging for her to come back!

$19 per hour for 1 child

With over 4 years of hands-on experience in daycare and preschool settings, I’ve developed a strong passion for working with children of all ages. As the oldest of 8 siblings and a long-time volunteer at a church nursery, caring for kids has always been a part of my life. I have experience with children from 6 weeks to 10 years old and currently work at a preschool, where I continue to grow my skills every day. I’m fun, patient, and friendly, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Safe Sleep certified, and currently working toward earning my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. I am also currently pregnant so I am looking for part time work that isn’t long term. I would love to help out you and your family with watching your little one/s!

I have over 25 years of experience working with children in various settings from training adults who serve children birth to 3, to being a nanny caring for four children. Currently, and for past five years, I have been working with middle school children with special needs specifically, Autism. I have extensive experience with children birth-3 and significant experience with ADHD and behaviors. I'm a few courses shy of my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and have significant amounts of training in various areas in education. I took a break from school to support my stepson who struggled in school. I value all children and their abilities. I enjoy working with children and believe all children should be encouraged to be kind, good, human beings and I believe we, as adults working with children are integral in making that happen.
