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.
Hello! My name is Analisa and I am a Kansas City native. I’m starting my junior year of college this fall at Mizzou, earning a degree in Journalism. I offer services in childcare, pet care, and home/house-sitting I have been babysitting/nannying since I was in high school. My freshman year of college I nannied 3 school aged children and offered safe transportation to and from school. I also have experience with young children (1-5) and can watch several children at once. Along with playing and being involved in activities with your child, I am also able to cook/feed, clean, put to bed, etc. I have been pet sitting for the past few years as well. Mainly cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, each with varying needs. I am able to walk, feed, play with, and transport your pets, along with much more. I have house sat and cleaned for many families as well. Taking out trash, bringing in mail/packages, turning lights on and off, etc. In addition I can do basic housekeeping like dishes, kitchen and bathroom cleans, laundry, vacuuming, and more! If needed I can provide basic cleaning materials. I am an excellent communicator, and can easily follow instructions provided. Whatever you need, just tell me!
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 I go by Tessa and she/her pronouns here’s some about me! I’m willing to answer questions before, during, or after the job! I love taking care of children and animals, I’m going to college right now with the hope to become a veterinarian. I’m the oldest child out of 3 and I took care of my sisters ever since I was really little basically becoming their parent, I am disabled but not to the point where it’ll effect me taking care of children or animals. I’m currently trying to make some money to help my girlfriend out of a financial situation and maybe buy some presents for my loved ones.
