Jenna Columbia
$18 per hour for 1 child

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!

$12 per hour for 1 child

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.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
