Find nannies in Arnold, MO

I simply love children and am looking for passive income. I am a 46 year old professional with plenty of experience taking care of children ages six months-ten years old.

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!
