A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 27 years old and currently living in Soulard, St. Louis and have over 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to toddlers. I’m known for being super hands-on, loving, and full of energy! I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments where kids can learn, laugh, and grow. I’m bilingual (Spanish and English), and always bring lots of patience, creativity, and heart into everything I do. I am very active, and very curious, I enjoy outdoor activities I like to exercise a little by dancing or jumping rope in the morning or at night. My favorite place is the cinema or simply to watch a movie, I cook desserts but I'm not an expert.

A little bit about me

I’m Che’ Roberts, a professional caregiver listed in the Missouri Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR). I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns through school age. Raised by a nanny myself, I place a strong emphasis on consistency, emotional presence, and fostering strong connections.
With a background in children’s theatre, curriculum development, and educational programming, I bring a creative movement approach to caregiving. I design thoughtful routines and engaging activities that balance structure with imagination, supporting a wide range of learning styles.
Families appreciate my organized, attentive, and supportive presence, as well as my ability to introduce creativity and calm structure into daily life, helping children thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

A little bit about me

I have been working with children for a better part of my life! I’ve worked with them since I was 13 during church volunteer opportunities. As I grew, I went to make this a career. I gained my associate degree and continued this path. I’ve worked with families and children in a daycare setting since. I work hard to create strong relationships with families to best support them as a whole both in and out of the classroom. I have worked with 2 year olds mainly in the last seven years but have worked with all age groups over the this time. I create lessons and activities that are developmentally appropriate for a wide variety of ages. I am happy to help your child in their growth.

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.
