Presley Columbia
$18 per hour for 1 child

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!

Sydney Columbia
$15 per hour for 1 child

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.

Hi, my name is Travion! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable college student who enjoys working with children and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for them. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when choosing someone to care for their kids, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m patient, respectful, and always focused on making sure children feel comfortable, supported, and valued while they’re in my care. I enjoy helping kids stay active, being creative, playing games, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, and making sure they have a great experience while their parents are away. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing reliable childcare they can trust. I will always communicate clearly, follow your family’s routines and expectations, and treat your children with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, fun, and dependable babysitting experience!
