Hi! My name is Emilia, and I am a college student at Harding University with a strong passion for helping families create calm, organized, and supportive home environments. I have experience in both childcare and household management, including cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal prep, and running errands. I’ve worked with families to help take stress off their day-to-day responsibilities so they can spend more quality time together. I also grew up helping care for my younger brother and cousins, which naturally built my love for working with kids. I am dependable, flexible, and communicate my schedule clearly and in advance. I thrive in both structured routines and situations that require adaptability. I bring a fun, positive energy into the home while also prioritizing peace, order, and efficiency. I am calm under pressure, proactive, and always look for ways to be helpful. In addition to my home experience, I’ve worked as a server and barista, where I developed strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. I also have a natural eye for organization and enjoy creating systems that help homes run smoothly. I love staying active and being outdoors, and I enjoy engaging with kids in ways that are both fun and enriching. I have previously been CPR certified and would be happy to renew my certification if needed. I truly enjoy working with people and take pride in creating environments where families feel supported, cared for, and at ease.

Emilia was a wonderful asset to our family this semester. She was hired to take care of laundry in the beginning as well as lighthouse work throughout the semester. She picked up doing some kitchen work in addition to the laundry for our family of eight. She was always dependable showed up on time and was very trustworthy.

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 worked as a camp counselor CIT for 2 years and a paid camp counselor for 3 years. I have also worked as a youth leader for 3 years and volunteered with youth before them. 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.

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!

Hi! I’m Delaney! A caring, energetic, and dependable sitter who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I’m outgoing, creative, and patient, and I always try to bring a fun, positive energy into every home I’m in. I love being outdoors, going on walks, playing games, doing crafts, and finding activities that keep kids engaged, active, and excited to learn about the world around them. I’m comfortable working with children of all ages and really enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality, interests, and routines. Building trust and creating a safe, happy environment is always my top priority. Outside of babysitting, I work as a CNA and have extensive healthcare experience, which has taught me the importance of being responsible, calm under pressure, and attentive to every child’s needs. I’m also currently in nursing school, and caring for others is something I’m passionate about both personally and professionally. My goal is for families to feel completely at ease knowing their children are safe, supported, and having a great time while they’re with me.

Hi! I’m a 25-year-old Colombian athlete and high-performance Track & Field competitor specializing in hammer throw. I’m fully bilingual in Spanish and English, which helps me communicate easily with both children and parents. I graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Psychology and a certificate in Human Behavior. I also worked as a Behavior Technician supporting children with autism, where I developed strong skills in patience, emotional support, positive behavior guidance, and creating safe, structured environments for children. Families describe me as responsible, warm, dependable, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, feel supported, and have fun in a safe environment. I love creating engaging activities, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and encouraging creativity and confidence. As an athlete, discipline, trustworthiness, and consistency are a big part of who I am. I take safety seriously, communicate well with parents, and always aim to care for children with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own family. I also love animals, enjoy cooking healthy meals, and would be happy to help with routines around the home. I’m always eager to teach, learn, and be a positive role model for the children I care for.
