Find nannies in Smithton, IL

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!

I have several years of childcare experience with children of all ages, including infants through school-age. I’ve worked in schools, ran my own Pre-K–3rd grade classroom, and supported children with special needs. I do not smoke or drink, have open availability, and am currently on track to attend college for early childhood education, making me a reliable option for both short-term and long-term childcare needs.

Hi, I'm Caroline and I am 23 years old! I am originally from the Chicago suburbs, but I graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor's Degree in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences in 2024. I will be staying in St. Louis for the next couple years to pursue my Master's in Speech Language Pathology at SLU! I have been babysitting for almost 10 years and I have experience working with ages 6 months to 14. I have experience working with individuals with special needs both through babysitting and in my graduate program. I have nannied for the same family for the past few summers back in Chicago and am looking to continue babysitting in St. Louis! Some activities that I have done in the past include arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, cooking, baking, and help with homework. I can also speak Spanish conversationally and I have a car to drive children to different activities, appointments, etc. I love interacting with children and can't wait to meet you and your family!

Hi, my name is Sabrine I have been a paid babysitter for over two years, and I also have experience working in a daycare. Through my experience and training, I have learned how to provide safe, caring, and responsible care for children. I really enjoy working with children and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I also have CPR training and have completed a fingerprint/background check. I can provide the documentation for both if needed. I currently do not have a car, but I am very reliable and always make sure I arrive to work early and on time. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and become someone your family can trust. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to hearing from you!
