A little bit about me

Hello I’m 21 years old. I have a son of my own that is now 3 months. While growing up since I was 14 I took care of baby’s and toddlers. I would always watch my family kids. I never really had a tittle as a nanny but I have a lot of experience. I love animals and kids. I want to be able to care for my son and go to school while doing something I like. Being a baby would be the perfect job for me. I do know how to do CPR and everything I am jus not certified.

A little bit about me

Hello ,my name is Jeremiah. I’m a former English middle school teacher from Pennsylvania. After moving to St. Louis with my partner I decided to branch out into Early childhood care and education. It seemed a better fit for me. I have also done much volunteering and substitute teaching among grades K- 2. I believe my education background could help foster your child’s academic needs, be it preparing them for pre-school or even just needing a little extra attention with homework. You have to start them young. I also consider myself a pretty good amateur cook, I would always be happy to prep snacks and full meals for the children in my care as well as the family as a whole. I am available to nanny at anytime since the school year has come to a close, but i can happily extend my working hours into the school year if parents would like to discuss that with me at the right time. Please be aware that in my experience queue, it has listed that I have only taken care of one child. This is inaccurate, I have taken care of classes of students ranging in numbers of 10-30 children per class. The more the merrier! I do hope you may considered me to be a helpful part of your family, as well as I hope to hear from you soon.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m LaShaye, and I have a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I’m energetic, dependable, and enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while providing a structured and nurturing environment. My background in leadership, education, and customer service has strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to stay calm under pressure.

Whether it’s helping with homework, outdoor play, crafts, meal preparation, or maintaining routines, I strive to make each day positive and enriching. I believe every child deserves to feel supported, encouraged, and valued, and I treat every family with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I look forward to meeting a wonderful family and becoming someone your children can trust and enjoy spending time with!
