Hello my name is mbabazi I can’t write many things here but we will get to know each other when we meet But I love baby’s so much since I was like 4y I’ve been taking my sisters babies last year
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.
I have worked as a tutor in many capacities for years, as well as in my Church's preschool, nursery, and VBS roles. I have also been in customer service for years and involved with many programs that require me to be a good people person. I love the opportunity to interact with kids and help them feel supported, as I believe that one of the most rewarding feelings is to watch as they learn and grow. Similarly, I have worked for years as a pet-sitter and greatly enjoy the feeling of a pet opening up to me for the first time. I am kind, patient, and very good at working with all age groups. I hope to help provide support to your family and loved ones soon.
Hi parents! Nurturing young minds is something I truly love, and my past 8 years of babysitting/nanny experiences have made me even more passionate about supporting families with reliable, fun, and caring childcare. I'm patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I'm comfortable caring for children of different ages and following your family's routines. I believe consistency is important, so I'm confident enforcing household rules while keeping a positive and supportive environment. I also make sure to keep open communication with parents and can provide updates in whatever way you prefer. I'm available 2-3 weekdays, based on what works best for your family, and most weekends that I am here in Columbia! If you're looking for a dependable and friendly babysitter, feel free to message me--I'd love to chat!
Hi! My name is Abby and I am a current junior at Mizzou studying to become a child life specialist! I love working with kids and have been babysitting for about 10 years, starting with my 2 younger siblings. I also have experience as a teaching assistant at a child development center and my full-time job at a preschool last summer! I am passionate about helping children grow to their full potential and want to be someone they can rely on! I am offering babysitting services! I can sit up to 4 children maximum, and have flexible availability. I love working with infants through pre-kindergarteners, but am open to work with up to 15 years. I have reliable transportation, am willing to do light cleaning and cooking, and care for your children in the best way that I can!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
