A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Allie, I’m currently studying Health Sciences at Saint Louis University, and I’m looking for a summer nanny position! I love bringing creativity into everyday activities and finding fun ways to keep little ones engaged. I’m a big fan of being outside, whether it’s playing tennis, going for walks, or just soaking up the sunshine. I’m also trained in emergency care and have experience working as an EMT, so safety is always a top priority for me. I can’t wait to meet your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rachel. I am a new transplant to St. Louis, and I am looking to get back into childcare. I am a former preschool assistant teacher, former scrub tech and nursing assistant, and have been in helping roles most of my life. My profession experience is primarily with 4-5 year olds, but I have experience with other ages through paid babysitting, volunteer childcare hours, and helping with younger relatives.

I am an oldest daughter in every sense of the word. I like to tidy, organize, and fuss over the kids. I have a very firm but fun vibe, and am very difficult to rattle. I tend to get along great with autistic kids, and love working with mixed age groups.

Pros of hiring me:
-I love to meal prep
-I’m a great cook
-I have a ton of fun crafts to share
-I love reading and do a lot of story-time
-I will make them play outside

Cons of hiring me:
-I got my license late, so I am not an experienced enough driver to feel comfortable driving kids. At-home only or driven by others.
