Emilia M., Nanny in Columbia, MO 65203 with 2 years of paid experience

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.

Haley C., Nanny in Columbia, MO 65203 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Haley! I graduated from Tulane University with a bachelors in neuroscience and psychology and from Duke University with a doctorate in Physical Therapy. I work full-time as a neuro physical therapist for Mizzou healthcare, but am looking to earn some extra money to help with my student loans. I have experience babysitting all ages, and I love working with kids. I have volunteered with Miracle League for many years and gotten to work in pediatric clinics through school which has given me the opportunity to work with special needs children as well. I have 3 dogs at home, so I am very comfortable around animals. I tutored elementary - high school for 3 years, so I’m happy to help with homework. I can also help with cooking, cleaning, or anything else you might need. I have my own transportation and am CPR certified. Please feel free to ask any questions!

Carolina U., Nanny in Columbia, MO 65203 with 3 years of paid experience

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.

Madeleine W., Nanny in Columbia, MO 65203 with 4 years of paid experience

I’m currently a college student at Mizzou with years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have developed a strong ability to connect with kids of all ages. During high school, I worked for four years at Hi-Five Sports, where I coached children in activities like gymnastics, basketball, soccer, and more. Through that role, I built great relationships with families, and many parents trusted me enough to recommend me to others for babysitting. I genuinely love working with kids and focus on creating a fun, engaging environment. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or spending time outdoors, I aim to keep children active and happy. I also try to minimize screen time and encourage creativity and interaction instead. I’m responsible, energetic, and patient, and I always prioritize safety while making sure kids have a great time.

Hi! My name is Maddie, and I have over 10 years of experience working as a nanny. I have worked for the same wonderful family for over 3 years now, caring for two children. During that time I helped with daily routines, learning activities, outdoor play, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where the kids felt supported and encouraged to grow. Due to the kids starting school full time I am needing to find new employment. I have open availability, and I would love to meet your family! Please message me with any questions you may have
