Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Missouri - Columbia

I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!

Hi, my name is Sophia! I’m a 19 year old student at Mizzou from St. Louis, Missouri. I am a responsible, caring, and dedicated babysitter with years of experience with younger siblings and cousins! I prioritize fun and safety, always available to adapt to your family’s needs!

I’m currently a finance major in college, which might not seem directly related to caregiving, but it’s helped me become really responsible, organized, and dependable. I take commitments seriously and always try to show up prepared and on time. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15, and now that I’m almost 20, I’ve worked with kids of different ages and personalities. I also work as a lifeguard, which has taught me how important it is to stay alert and calm in any situation. Being responsible for people’s safety, especially kids, is something I never take lightly. I also have younger siblings, so I’ve grown up helping out at home, whether that’s with homework, rides, or just keeping them entertained. I love caregiving because I genuinely love being around kids. I think it’s so fun to see their personalities grow and to be someone they feel comfortable and safe with. It’s really rewarding to know parents trust me with their children, and I always try to create a balance between having fun and making sure everything runs smoothly. Something personal about me is that I’m very family-oriented. My siblings are a huge part of my life, and being an older sibling has shaped how I care for others. I’m patient, positive, and pretty easygoing, and I always try to bring good energy wherever I am.

I'm a compassionate and knowledgeable nanny with a background in Montessori philosophy and over 10 years of experience in childcare. I love the outdoors and have also been an outdoor educator and rock climbing instructor. I love doing activities outside as much as possible. Encouraging children to explore their interests and curiosity is my priority, as well as cultivating their own sense of agency and autonomy while being a nurturing guide.

Hello, My name is Brianna and I am looking for occasional caregiving opportunities. I currently work full time as a coordinator for a student resource program at a high school and am currently studying in school to become a social worker. I have 8+ years of experience working as an in home caregiver! I am a super energetic and outgoing person that works well with kids of all ages and am also willing to take care of any pets that you may have. I am readily available for interviewing and can provide a list of references. I also have my own vehicle with a clean record that can be provided as well.

My name is Presley Kiser. I am a freshman at the University of Missouri and I am an elementary education major. I have lots of babysitting experience, I have had a consistent family who I babysat for quite some time, and I coached a youth soccer team, 2-5 and 5-7 year old age groups. I have also done volunteer work at local elementary schools through a program my high school offered, reading to kids and working on their reading and writing skills. I am very outgoing and bubbly. I love to watch movies, and do outside activities. I think I would make a great caregiver because I am playful, patient, creative and I have a lot of experience with kids. I have good communication skills and am very understanding of safety and creating a good environment for kids. I am also willing to do things around the house like cook, clean and run errands. I am also good with any animals as well!

I simply love children and am looking for passive income. I am a 46 year old professional with plenty of experience taking care of children ages six months-ten years old.

Hi, my name is Kate! I have lived in Capitol Hill for the past four years, but I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I am offering child care, household services and can help with any pets. I love being a babysitter and have a lot of experience watching toddlers and kids from a young age, including my cousin, who was born when I was 13! I babysat him multiple times a week until I left for college (and after), as well as other kids in my neighborhood. My older sister and mom are both elementary school teachers (kindergarten and 1st grade!), so I also have a lot of fun experience helping out in their classrooms! I grew up with a dog and currently have 2 cats, so happy to also help out with pets where needed.

Hi! My name is Laura. I'm a 49 year old St. Louis native who recently moved back for a few months before I head to Spain to teach English for a year. I am available for child & pet care, as well as help driving to & from appointments and light housework. I am very comfortable with all ages, including newborns, as well as any & all types of pets. I was a steady babysitter for several families throughout my middle school & high school years, & I've been a regular fixture in the lives of my niece & 3 nephews as they've grown up. Additionally, I've taught students aged 11-14 years in public school. I love playing games, reading books and/or making up stories, & doing hands-on activities (cooking, arts & crafts, Legos, etc.) I'm happy to do whatever's needed to best help your family!

I am a dependable, compassionate caregiver with 3–5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’ve developed strong skills in creating safe, structured, and nurturing environments tailored to each child’s needs and personality. My background also includes working at girls’ youth basketball camps, where I coached, mentored, and supervised groups of children. This experience strengthened my leadership, patience, and communication skills while teaching me how to encourage teamwork, confidence, and positive behavior. I am energetic, attentive, and calm under pressure. I enjoy planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and promoting active play. In addition to childcare, I’m comfortable assisting with light household tasks such as meal prep, tidying play areas, and maintaining organized routines. I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and supportive, and I am committed to providing high-quality care that helps children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow.
