Hi! My name is Izzy and I am a student at Mizzou studying health science. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household help. I have helped take care of my younger cousins over the years and have babysat younger children in the past. I am patient, attentive, and love keeping kids engaged and doing activities while also making sure they’re safe! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playing, and maintaining routines. I am comfortable driving places, running errands, and helping with light cleaning and organizing.
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’ve gained valuable caregiving experience through a variety of roles with children and pets. I’ve cared for my infant cousin several times, which taught me patience and attention to detail needed for younger children. I’ve also babysat my toddler neighbor on multiple occasions, building skills in keeping young kids engaged and managing daily routines. Over the summer, I consistently babysat school-aged children for a family, handling activities, meal prep, and ensuring a safe, fun environment every day. In addition to childcare, I’ve also been trusted to dog- and cat-sit for family friends. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility and reliability, as I made sure their pets were well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I’d describe myself as dependable, caring, and adaptable. I enjoy connecting with kids and pets, keeping them active and happy, and maintaining calm and organized routines. I take pride in being someone families can rely on to provide safe, loving, and attentive care.
Hi families! My name is Jillian, I am a junior accounting student at Mizzou so I am in Columbia most of the year! I have been babysitting since I was 15 and I do it full time when I am home in St. louis for STL sitter! I love engaging, playing and building relationships with the kids and families! I try to limit screen time when I am babysitting as much as possible and help with any chores while the kiddos are sleeping! I truly want to be as much of a help to your family as I can! My rates are 18 and hour for 1-3 children and 20 an hour for 4+ children. I have experience watching 5 children under 6 at once.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
