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.
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.
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.
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.
