Emily Columbia
$15 per hour for 1 child

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.

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.
