Sydney $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.

Jillian $18 per hour for 1 child

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.

Audrey $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.

Presley $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!
