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!

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.
