Evening Babysitter for Young Children

We are seeking a reliable, energetic, patient, and nurturing babysitter for our three children aged 3, 5, and 6 years old in Springfield, MO. The position is for Monday, August 31, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The ideal candidate will enjoy engaging in hands-on activities such as painting, coloring, playing games, learning activities, music, movement, and outdoor play. You will help children learn healthy ways to express and regulate their emotions. Responsibilities include preparing simple meals/snacks and performing light cleanup after activities. It's important to maintain a tidy environment without being a housekeeper. No additional driving or bedtime duties are required. We have other pets, including a cat, chickens, a parrot, and a dog that stays locked up. Reliability and strong communication skills are crucial, as flexibility for extended hours may occasionally be necessary. We are looking for someone trustworthy, active, and loving to become a consistent part of our routine.
