"Lana was wonderful for our family. She was very reliable, and I could rely on her to plan fun things for my two boys to do during the day when I was at work. She started with our family when my boys were an infant and 2 yrs old. They have grown to love her. She supported their educational growth, taught them manners and how to be respectful and take care of their things, and the importance of caring for each other . She even balled out around the house. Lana was a blessing for our family!"

Hi there! My name is Lisa and I can’t wait to meet your family!
I’m originally from Texas, where I nannied for an amazing family for 3 year. They ended up moving to Missouri and I following them up pretty close behind. They ended up moving back a year later but by then I had met my husband and fallen in love with Missouri.
I started teaching at our local childcare center in the 3 year old class. Once covid hit I went back to being a nanny for another amazing family. I’ve been with them for almost 4 years! With them I’ve discovered my passion for homeschooling, exploring many of Columbias local parks, and understanding behavioral challenges. They’re kids are now in school and their financial situation has changed. I’m looking for another full time position.

"Lisa Evans is an amazing human being! She is kind and caring, intelligent and responsible. Lisa is great with our kids! She knows how to set healthy boundaries that the kids understand and respect. They have a blast when she is here! Lisa takes them on fun outings and participates in make believe play. She is a generous and patient teacher. She makes well balanced meals for them and encourages them to eat, even their veggies, in a creative way that the boys enjoy! I cannot say one negative thing about her and I’m truly heartbroken to have to let her go. The only reason we cannot keep her is because our financial position has changed. She is an incredible nanny. The next family she nanny’s for will be truly blessed by hiring her as we have been; I have no doubt."

"Liz took care of my infant son during the end of my medical residency, beginning when he was less than a month old. We’d never hired a nanny before and still (even a year later) can’t believe our luck that we connected with her when we did. She loved our son and truly became a beloved member of our family. She is such a caring, thoughtful, generous person, and a dream as an employee - always early to work with a huge smile on her face and a sticker or a little gift for my older child. I’m a fairly high-strung mom and really relied on Liz as my calm port in the storm amidst the chaos of having two little kids and trying to study for my board exams. She’s truly an angel and I’m only sorry we had to move for my job because if we didn’t, I’d hope she’d still be with us. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have a nanny Liz!"
