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!
