I am a substitute teacher for the Fort Zumwalt and Wentzville School Districts and a Lead Camp Counselor for the Rockwood-Parkway School District.

Booked by 2 families in Defiance, MO

Hi! My name is Laura. I'm a 49 year old St. Louis native who recently moved back for a few months before I head to Spain to teach English for a year. I am available for child & pet care, as well as help driving to & from appointments and light housework. I am very comfortable with all ages, including newborns, as well as any & all types of pets. I was a steady babysitter for several families throughout my middle school & high school years, & I've been a regular fixture in the lives of my niece & 3 nephews as they've grown up. Additionally, I've taught students aged 11-14 years in public school. I love playing games, reading books and/or making up stories, & doing hands-on activities (cooking, arts & crafts, Legos, etc.) I'm happy to do whatever's needed to best help your family!

My name is Kristin. I am 28 years old. I have a 6 month old stepson that I look after on occasion. I’ve been working with kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped with my cousins growing up. I’ve also been in the nursery at church helping with babies and toddlers. I’ve helped a little bit with teaching reading to kids as well during summer school. I do enjoy a little bit of housework to make the time go by.

Aubree $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Aubree! 👋 I’m 18 years old and currently in real estate school, but I’ve always had a passion for caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have plenty of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and children under 9. I’m also very involved in my younger siblings’ lives, so I understand the importance of patience, structure, and fun when it comes to childcare! I’m happy to help with light cleaning, running errands, and keeping your home tidy while caring for your little ones. I’m also comfortable with all kinds of animals, so pets are no problem! Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and fully engaged with their kids — whether that’s playing games, helping with routines, or just making sure everyone feels safe and happy. I have 2 current nanny family's but unfortunately I'm moving so I'm in search for a new family to care for!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
