I am a dependable, friendly, and compassionate babysitter. I am currently a student at Mizzou studying Early Childhood Education. This past year I took a gap year and had the opportunity to work as a full time teacher at WUFLC where I learned so much about the care of children of all ages. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting or a part-time nanny position if it works with my class schedule. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, babysitting family and family friends' children as well. I have experience with food allergies and the use of an Avi-Q as well as an Epi-pen. I love creating different activities. I love getting the chance to take kids out on adventures to explore their environment through nature along with engaging in arts and crafts to spark our imaginations.

Hello! My name is Leela Ravipudi and I am a 20 year old college student with over six years of childcare experience. I started babysitting when I was 14 and I have always had a natural connection with kids. I love working with children of all ages and helping them learn, grow, and express themselves. I enjoy keeping kids creative and engaged. I love doing arts and crafts, encouraging imagination, and helping children explore their interests. I also like taking kids outside to play, walk, or spend time in nature where they can use their imagination freely. I understand that parents work hard and it is important to come home to a comfortable and clean house. I always make sure to tidy up before parents return. I wash the dishes, clean up after cooking, and make sure the space looks nice. I am a very good cook and I enjoy preparing meals and snacks that kids love. I also try to limit screen time and fill the day with fun and meaningful activities. A little more about me. I will be attending Metropolitan Community College in January where I am pursuing a degree in Environmental Science. Outside of school and childcare I love staying active. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. I often go on road trips and back country adventures and I love bringing that sense of curiosity and energy into the way I work with kids. I am reliable, patient, creative, and passionate about providing a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. I would love the opportunity to support your family.

I want to be a pediatrician when I get older, so I have always enjoyed working with kids and caring for them. I love getting to meet new kids and their families and having fun.

I have volunteered with other youth groups, as well as done my senior service with 5-6 year olds in an elementary school. I have car and first aid training, on top of my experience working with kids.

My name is Kaitlyn Phee, and I am the Lead Twos Teacher at Mother's Day Out Preschool in Columbia, Missouri. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education online at Grand Canyon University to further my career as a toddler teacher. While earning my degree, I am working full time running my own classroom teaching two year olds basic vocabulary, numbers, concepts, and skills in a play-based but academically motivated learning environment. I previously also led the Junior Preschool class at Mother's Day Out, and before that I co-taught in the Twos room and Threes room at Kids Unlimited Daycare and Preschool in Jefferson City. Teaching and working with kids has been my passion as long as I can remember. In high school, I worked as a volleyball coach at HEAT Volleyball Club in Wisconsin, coaching the VolleySeeds program that worked with kids aged 4-9, as well as assistant coaching the 15s and 12s teams. I've also been babysitting since I was 15 years old. While I primarily work with toddlers at the preschool, I have experience babysitting and taking care of kids of all ages ranging from infant to thirteen. I am also certified in basic first aid and CPR. Outside of working with kids, my hobbies include outdoor activities like hiking and biking, cooking, reading, and sports. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your family and would be excited to work with you!

I love being a sitter because I love to be around kids. I have experience in lifeguarding which required me to have medical training and required me to watch many children at once.
