Find nannies in Millstadt, IL

If you need tutoring, special education support, or behavior support — let me help! If you need a calm adult who can support the entire family, from behavior plans, to deescalating arguments with children, transitions, and general emotional support- I'm here! I have a Bachelor's degree in Special Education and hold a Special Education K-12 license, with over 10 years of experience working with children and young adults from 6 weeks to 21 years old. I started working with children in high school through early childhood education classes and built my career from there — working in Montessori and Waldorf school settings, as a Special Education teacher, and most recently as a behavior specialist working across school, family, and clinical settings with children, teens, and adults. Working with children is my passion, and I have a particular love for supporting kids who are navigating behavior challenges. I've worked extensively with ADHD, ASD, SPD, and a wide range of cognitive and learning differences. I believe deeply in positive behavior supports and lead with social-emotional learning in everything I do — helping kids not just manage their behavior, but actually understand themselves better. I also bring over 13 years of experience supporting families directly in their homes, so I understand the full picture — not just the child, but the whole family system. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I'm happy to connect you with references right away!

Hello! I am Saba. I am a graduate student in English rhetoric and composition. I enjoy with being around a diverse group of people. For me, it helps me be a better person because of all the people I have met.

Hello Everyone, My name is Kimberley, and I recently moved to the Saint Louis area to attend graduate school at SIUE in the Art Therapy & Counseling program. Now that my daughter is attending college, I am able to focus on completing my own master’s degree. I spent many years as a volunteer at my daughter’s cooperative preschool and at her elementary school helping in the classroom and on field trips. I also have worked as a nanny for several families as well as providing childcare for other parents at my daughter’s schools. In addition, I have been a YMCA camp counselor and a Big Sister with Big Brother Big Sister Foundation. This semester, I also completed at internship which involved an afterschool program with the students at Bel-Nor and Jefferson Elementary Schools. I also have experience with dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and caring for a variety of other small pets, as well as plant care and general housesitting. I have my own small dog named, Guac, who is a very important member of my family, and I understand how much our pet friends mean to us. I enjoy spending time with and assisting elderly people and anyone else who needs help with household chores and running errands. I have experience volunteering at St. John’s Adult Daycare in Edwardsville and Collinsville, Illinois, and I will be interning there starting in August of 2024. I have a patient and gentle nature, and truly enjoy working, playing and supporting people of all ages and abilities. I’m excited to have found Urban Sitter, and I would love to be able to assist you in any way I can! Warmly, Kimberley

I am a friendly, dedicated child care provider and a current Graduate Student at Washington University in St. Louis, where I am pursuing my Master of Social Work (MSW). I bring nearly two years of professional experience from a child development center, where I spent my days caring for sweet infants and young children ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years old. This time taught me so much about infant care routines, early childhood milestones, and how to create a safe, stimulating space where little ones can thrive. Right now, I also work as a Therapist Intern at a local developmental trauma center, providing play therapy for wonderful children and youth aged 4 to 18. This clinical training allows me to bring a deeply supportive set of skills into my babysitting roles. I love using child-centered play techniques to build genuine rapport and help kids express their creativity. I am also highly skilled at co-regulation, which means I excel at helping children navigate big emotions or anxiety with a calm, gentle, and patient presence. My approach centers on strengths-based guidance, relying on warm connection and clear boundaries rather than reactive discipline.Whether it is soothing a newborn, engaging a toddler in fun sensory play, or connecting authentically with pre-teens, I easily adapt to exactly what your child needs to feel safe and happy. I am truly passionate about creating a nurturing, joyful environment where your kids feel completely seen, protected, and cared for. I would love the chance to support your family and look forward to connecting with you soon!
