I love children and always have. I started babysitting 20 years ago and then became a nanny from there. I took a break to go back to school and get a degree as a Registered Medical Assistant. After school, I started a family of my own and stayed home to be with my daughter and also provided an in home daycare. After my little one started school, I went to work as an RMA and had most recently been working in a pediatric doctor's office before offering an in home daycare again when my second daughter was born. She just turned 4 & we recently moved to the South County area and I have been unable to find any preschool availability so I'm opening up once again, this time offering a little bit more structured, pre-k learning curriculum. I am due with baby girl #3 in August and am not currently accepting infants. My 12 year old daughter loves helping out with the little ones and my 4 year old loves having new friends to learn, play & grow with. We will sing songs, play games, read books, learn new things and do some fun arts and crafts. Meals, snacks and drinks provided unless you prefer to bring your own. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a meeting! I look forward to meeting you and your little one!

Hi, my in-home day care currently has two openings for full-time infant or toddler. The day care is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and provides a healthy breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. Please email me for prices. A little about me, I am a highly experienced individual with over 20 years of experience with children of all ages. I have two grown daughters. Previously, when my daughters were younger I ran an in-home day care. Currently, I am CPR / First Aid certified, with a fully stocked first aid kit, fire extinguishers, and have emergency plans in place for fire or weather related problems. I think it is important to be able to give children as much one on one care as possible, thus the day care keeps a four to one ratio with the children at all times. I feel a smaller settings helps aid in the development of young minds which is why the home day care will be small. Additionally, the children will still get the interaction with other children, but they won't be fighting for attention like they would be at a bigger day care center.The main focus at our day care is to ensure all the children have a great day. We love to do crafts and plan fun activities for the children. Additionally, my house has a large backyard for the children to play in with my supervision. I think it is very important to let kids be kids. Learning and developmental skills are an essential part of the day care. These skills are incorporated daily. Whether it is through our educational toys or activities. I do NOT believe in spanking. I think a time out in tune to the child's age is appropriate. When children learn to be respectful of each other they carry that for a lifetime. I think the most amazing thing to see is a child learning new things each day. I would love to be a part of that with all of the children I watch. I know the feeling of having to be away from my daughter and working full time. I want to be sensitive to other parents in that area because I know how hard it is to leave your child(ren) with someone else all day. My home is newly remodeled and in a quiet / safe subdivision. If you would like to learn more or see my house please let me know. Thank you, Gina

I am offering a loving, caring, and positive atmosphere for children to grow and learn at my In Home Day Care. I am located in Fenton. I am 41 years old and I am married to a wonderful husband and we have 2 beautiful children (11 & 8 years old). I am looking to find 1 more child to watch. I am looking for an infant that is about 3 or 4 months old. I prefer them all the same age so that they are all on the same learning curve. I only take 3 babies at a time. I just got done watching three 4 year olds that have moved on to preschool in August, and I started watching them when they were infants. I am currently watching 2 babies, one is 3 months and one 4 months. And I hoping to find one more baby to fit in with our little day I have 20 years of experience working with children. I worked at a daycare for 4 years in the infant room. Then I decided to move on to be a nanny. I went through a nanny service and found an absolutely wonderful family with one 3 year old boy. I worked there for about 4 years. Then I was 27 and decided to go to school and got my license to be an aesthetician. I worked for a year. And I decided I missed the kiddos. So I went back through the nanny service and I found another wonderful family. They had a 2 yr. old and 4 week old when I started. We went on lots of outings, (parks, zoo, bowling, chuckie cheese) just to name a few. We also did lots of hands on activities like painting, play dough, gluing, and crafts. I worked with them for 4 yrs. I had my first child while working with them and was very blessed that they let me bring her to work with me. Then when I had my second child, I started doing In home day care. And found twins that were 10 weeks old and I watched them until they were 4 years old And went to preschool. Then I found the 3 kiddos that I just got done watching. Now they are all turning 4 and have went off preschool Some of the things we do are circle-time with songs and books, tummy time, we work on fine motor skills, shapes, colors, letters, numbers, etc. I also like to spend time outside if the weather is nice. I have a triple stroller we could use for walks. We do bubbles, chalk, swing, bikes and much more. And we love to dance and do arts and crafts! If you think we would make a good match and would want to schedule an interview, I would love to hear from you! My phone # is 314-255-3397

Hi! I have an opening in my in home daycare. I am open for either part, or full time care. I would prefer the child to be 1 year old or older. I have been watching children in my home since my daughter was born 5 1/2 years ago. I keep the number of children I watch to a minimum to ensure individualized care. This also allows me to be flexible with a family's needs. I allow the children to flourish by providing an educational and loving family environment. I focus on teaching the youth within all of our daily activities. I embrace the importance of learning in a group setting and socialization with other children and adults. We go on outings when possible to libraries, parks, and other appropriate area attractions. I have a safe, happy home with play rooms, child's own bedroom to nap in, and a big backyard in a great neighborhood in Crestwood with no through traffic. I have a Bachelor's in Social Work and the past 19 years of my career have been focused on teaching in residential settings. I have worked with children with and without disabilities in their homes as a nanny/caregiver, adults with disabilities in group homes, and homeless youth ages 16-21 in a shelter. I am also a trained ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapist and I worked as a Lead ABA Therapist through Special School District at Parkway Early Childhood Center. I will provide healthy lunch and snacks for the children old enough for solid foods (and breakfast if needed).

I come from a very large family where I am one of nine children, and an auntie of 12! Therefore I am very comfortable around children of different ages. I CURRENTLY am accepting a new family or families (siblings) for the family I was caring for just moved to New Orleans! I have GREAT references. I am one semester away from completing my associate's in Early Childhood Education. I will provide child care, from 26-40 hours per week in my home. I am available Monday through Friday! Ideally, drop off time is at 8 a.m. (flexible) and pick up no later than 4:30 p.m. Promptness of payments and pick up is a must. It is a smoke-free home, and I have an eight pound dog.
