A little bit about me

Hi there!
My name is Bethany! I have experience as a nanny and as an assistant teacher at Stepping Stones Learning Center. I have an EQIT (Expanding Quality in Infant and Toddler Care) certificate and I'm continuing to expand my knowledge on the development of infants' and toddlers' brains, the way they think, and how that knowledge can help me become a better caregiver. I'm familiar with safe-sleep practices to prevent SIDS. I also know ASL and am willing to teach your child some basic signs if you'd like. I am CPR certified and I enjoy puzzles, developmentally appropriate games, reading, and the outdoors! My favorite thing about being a nanny is watching the children grow and learn to become independent little humans.
I hope overall to have a positive impact on your family's life :)

Hi, I’m Luli! I'm a college student at WashU and I absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been babysitting for several years and have experience in elementary after-school programs and assisting in children’s ballet classes.

Growing up with two younger brothers, I’ve always enjoyed finding fun ways to keep them active and happy without relying on screens.

I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and a bit of Italian. I’m happy to help around the house, I love cleaning!

Overall, I’m enthusiastic, playful, and dedicated to making sure kids have a fun, safe, and stimulating time!

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Tianna! I currently work as a substitute teacher at an elementary school, with experience teaching children from pre-K through middle school. This year marks my eighth year in childcare, a path I began when I was 16. I've always felt a strong connection to working with children, and I can’t imagine a more fulfilling way to spend my days than by being around kids. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, you'll find me outdoors, staying active with activities like skiing, fishing, kayaking, biking, zip-lining, soccer, basketball, and ice skating. These are some of my favorite ways to stay active, challenge myself, and enjoy the great outdoors.
Being around kids keeps me energized and excited every day. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or having fun conversations, I love making a positive impact on their lives. Babysitting and childcare aren't just jobs for me—they're a passion. They bring me joy, purpose, and a deep sense of fulfillment.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a 20 year old student at WashU originally from Portland, Oregon. I love kids, and have been babysitting since I was 12 and have babysat long term for many families with children ranging from infants to middle school. I am Red Cross certified. Making art, cooking, and playing board games are a few of my favorite things to do when I’m babysitting. I also enjoy helping with homework. My schedule is relatively consistent, and I’d love to connect with families looking for someone to watch their child(ren) once or twice a week or on a need-basis.
