A little bit about me

Hello my name is Kelzi Walls I attended Parkway Central High and I am dual enrollment at South Technical High which by my senior year I will have my CNA. I grew up in an early care and education facility that was ran and created by my family for over 30 years. I love to be creative and curious about everything around me. In my free time I enjoy to read, cook, and bake. I am more of a type A personality and like to keep things organized and scheduled. I truly love children and I am excited to take on this new opportunity!

A little bit about me

My name is Caitlin, I have been a nanny for 5+ years, and am moving back home to STL when I graduate college in May! I am getting my degree in Spanish and Criminal Justice, and am starting law school in August. I love kids and animals! I am CPR and First-Aid certified. Nannying/babysitting is my favorite job ever and I wish I could do it for the rest of my life! I am looking primarily for a summer nannying position for this summer of 2025. But am also open to random date nights on weekends! I hope to make some connections with families and build relationships to continue to babysit for. I look forward to connecting with you.

Recent reference

"The very first time Caitlin and my daughter met, they connected in such a natural way. My little girl immediately warmed up to her, and I could tell she was in good hands. Caitlin always made sure to engage her with fun and educational activities, whether it was playing, reading, or spending time outdoors, and she did all of this with such warmth and patience. As a mom who had just transitioned from being a stay-at-home parent to going back to work, I was really nervous about leaving my daughter with someone else. But Caitlin made me feel completely at ease. She was reliable, always kept me updated on how my daughter was doing, and truly made me feel confident about my decision to return to work. Caitlin is a kind, caring, and dedicated individual, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our family."
