Hi! I'm Lizzy, I have experience caring for young children through volunteering with kindergarten-age kids at Vacation Bible School, babysitting my two younger cousins (ages 7 and 10), and babysitting my daughter's 8 year old girl. I genuinely enjoy working with children and creating a safe environment for them to play, relax, or thrive in.

Destiny
From 2020 to 2025, I dedicated myself to early childhood education, gaining valuable experience and insights into child development. Recently, I transitioned to an ABA clinic to pursue my RBT certification, eager to expand my skills in behavior analysis. My background has equipped me with the confidence and comfort to work with diverse age groups, ethnic backgrounds, and religions, fostering inclusive and supportive environments.

Sarah
I have had lots of experience working with kids. I was a foster parent here in Missouri before I moved to Oklahoma. I have been with 4 families in Oklahoma. I also worked at a public school (in Raytown, Missouri) working with children who had behavior problems. I am back in Missouri and would love to work with a new family. Please feel free to message me anytime with questions.

Barbara
I’ve worked with babies and preschoolers for 28 years as a pediatric physical therapist through the Missouri First Steps program, and worked 2 years as a P.T. with KCMO school district. I retired from physical therapy in 2024, and my husband and I enjoy periodic travel. I’ve been teaching the elementary class at church on Wednesday nights for 2-1/2 years, where we incorporate skits and costume fun. I began doing morning storytimes at preschools 2 years ago, and recently turned it into a non-profit corporation called, “Barbara’s Stories.” I love & enjoy all children, including my own 5 grandchildren! And, of course, I love to see children involved in physical activity, creativity… and books!
