Samantha $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and enthusiastic person who loves working with children and animals. I’ve been working at a preschool for a little over a month, and I absolutely love it! Although I currently work with preschool-aged children, I’m open to caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all kinds of activities with kids, from playing games and making crafts to helping them learn and explore new things. I want every child to feel safe, happy, and cared for while having fun and being themselves. I’m also happy to offer pet-sitting services! I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I’ve been helping foster cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your children or look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to help!

Booked by 1 family in Olivette, MO

I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was about 13 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even just keeping children entertained for a few hours! I consider myself an extremely responsible and attentive person; I have always loved working with kids!!

“Diana was great! She was on time, thorough and very respectful & open to feedback. Will definitely be scheduling her again! ”

Angela $18 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been caring for children since i was 15. I have a paraprofessional license, and I’ve worked as a nanny for two different families. My approach to caring for children is to incorporate play and nature that is at the child’s level. I love to take the child on walks and run errands with them. I will care for your child as if they were my own. I also am willing to tidy up around the house as necessary, and take children to their various activities - as long as a vehicle is provided.
