A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ainsley Pyle and I just finished my freshman year at Loyola University Chicago studying biology on the pre-medicine track. At home, I have two young siblings. I have a six year old sister and ten year old brother with Down Syndrome, so I have lots of experience with kiddos that have special needs or are non-verbal. I grew up with many cousins so I have been doing light childcare for over eight years now and officially working in paid childcare positions for six years. I have worked both short term (babysitting) and long term (nanny) jobs with ages newborn to 12 years. I am looking for families in the KC metro seeking occasional sitters. I look forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a reliable, fun and experienced nanny who has been providing childcare for 14 years (both paid and volunteer). I have Bachelor's degrees in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, which included coursework in early child development. I am qualified to care for children with food allergies and can follow any dietary preferences a family may have when preparing food. My previous position as a SNAP-ED nutrition educator allowed me to work with children in fun, educational environments. A true playmate to children, kind, responsible and nurturing. I have experience with kids of all ages. I also know intermediate level Spanish and Portuguese. Outside of childcare, I am happy to help with house management duties including laundry, organizing toys and kid's clothes, meal prep, grocery shopping and other things the family may need. I hope to create a warm relationship with the family I work for.

I’m reliable, energetic, and truly enjoy helping kids learn, have fun, and feel supported, and I love building positive relationships with both children and their families.
