I have been working at a day care for the past three years with ages that range from 4-12. I work now as a swim instructor from ages 2-10. My major is social work and want to be in an elementary school but am comfortable with all ages! I am very passionate with working with kids and would love to find a family to babysit/nanny!

Jordan R., Babysitter in Columbia, MO 65203 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jordan. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education and minoring in Special Education (SPED) and Psychology, with the long-term goal of becoming an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) therapist. I absolutely love working with children and helping them safely explore, create, and learn about the world around them. I bring four years of professional childcare experience working with all age groups, from infants to 12-year-olds. Because I navigate personal allergies myself, I am incredibly vigilant, experienced, and comfortable managing strict allergy constraints for children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and happy to provide proof of credentials upon request. I view myself as a true "mommy's helper" and am always glad to go beyond standard babysitting by assisting with grocery shopping, meal preparation, and household tasks. My current availability is highly flexible, including evenings, weekends, and overnight care.

Abby L., Babysitter in Columbia, MO 65203 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! I am currently a college student home for summer break looking to continue babysitting. After graduation, I plan to continue on to Occupational Therapy School, aspiring to work in pediatrics. I am CPR and first aid certified, and have 4+ years of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary aged children. When not babysitting, I work part-time as a caregiver in multiple group homes. I am skilled in house keeping, meal prep, diaper changes, and behavioral management. One of my favorite things about babysitting is seeing and interacting with each child’s fun and unique personality. I genuinely enjoy connecting with kiddos in a nurturing and caring way!

Alissa A., Babysitter in Columbia, MO 65203 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Alissa, and I love working with children. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including caring for families with 3 or more kids, and I'm infant and child CPR certified. I'll be working weekends at BJC St. Louis' trauma center and I am looking to fill out my weekdays a little bit more. I have a reliable car, and manage my time well. I'm also very tidy and happy to help around the house, but I also love being active and having fun with kids (I love crafts, hikes, and anything outdoors myself) I'm an animal lover (especially dogs!) and always aim to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children.

Madeline  L., Babysitter in Columbia, MO 65203 with 5 years of paid experience

I’m the oldest of five children, and have been babysitting as far as I can remember. I have experience with special needs, both in my personal life with my little sister, and through high school training. I took a course called Peer to Peer, where we worked one on one and focused on motor development and behavioral regulation. I’m a skilled cook and housekeeper, and often meal prep for my families. I love babysitting because kids have such active imaginations and I love seeing how they view the world. Every kid is different, and I enjoy getting to know each one.

Maryam K., Babysitter in Columbia, MO 65203 with 1 year of paid experience

I’m a recent master's graduate from Duke, where I majored in marine science. I gained previous experience in childcare during my summer as a daycare teacher for 0-2 year olds at the Noor Academy in Columbia, MO. I assisted in supervising a class of 7 bright and energetic toddlers. I found a lot of fulfillment and love in interacting with and caring for them while creating a safe environment that nurtures their individual growth. I recently received my CPR/First Aid training, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I’m happy to chat more if you have any specific questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
