- I have years of experience (since I was 10/11) taking care of children of all ages and animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc) - I have a car, and am comfortable driving wherever I am needed, whether it is for errands or taking kids somewhere. - I can cook and help with homework! I’m comfortable with making bottles (breast milk, formula, or whole milk) and with changing diapers and dealing with blowouts/changing clothes. - I worked at a daycare in Lenexa for almost a year, primarily in the Infant room (ages 4 months to a year) but also helped out in the Toddler rooms (1 year- 2 1/2 years) as well as with ages 3 years and up. - I’m currently a nanny to a 15 month old and have been watching her since she was 6 months old. - I am CPR and First Aid certified. - I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Kansas and am primarily located in Lawrence. My schedule and availability changes each semester.

Abbey is wonderful with my 4 year old son. Communication is always the best and she is flexible with times and even location. I’ve have had her watch my son weekly since the first time she was hired. Will continue working with her!

I love working with kids (and animals)! I am the oldest sister of 5, so I have a lot of built in experience with kids! When my cousin was sick, I watched both of her baby boys full time and absolutely loved it. I have experience in watching infants, making lunch, making bottles, cleaning, etc. I have always been passionate about taking care of little ones.

Hello! I am currently a junior at KU studying political science and pre-law. I have experience with nannying and with newborns all the way up to middle-school age children. This sounds like it could be a really great fit! I am able to provide references and would love to chat more on the phone or meet in person to discuss further details!

I’m a 27 year old special education para for grade school aged children. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, from babies to early teenagers. I also have experience supervising and providing care for multiple children through my previous work at Lawrence Community Shelter. I will be working the extended school year during the month of June between 7am-12pm, but am looking for a sitting position basically any time outside of those hours, and have completely open availability after that until school starts again in August. I enjoy art, reading, and spending time outdoors, and I would love to share those things with the children I care for. I am a non-smoker with reliable transportation, and am eager to help in any way I can, including cooking, housework, and caring for pets. Let me know how I can be of help to you and your family, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I have experience caring for children of different ages, helping with daily routines like playtime, meals, and bedtime, and working with children who have different needs, which has helped me become patient, flexible, and attentive. I am responsible, dependable, and a strong communicator, and I focus on creating a positive and safe environment for every child. I am also studying occupational therapy, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, behavior, and supportive care strategies.

Hello, My name is Lily Witkowski. I am a very outgoing, kind and dependable individual. I am a recent college graduate from the University of Kansas and will be coming home this summer for a break before I head back to school to earn my masters. *A little about my experience* I have over eights years of babysitting/nanny experience with the ages of 0-13. I started earning my experience as a camp counselor and a local babysitter in my neighborhood. Eventually I became a trusted nanny to many families and my experience has been nothing but wonderful (more than willing to provide references.) I am CPR & First Aid certified and also have my own and reliable transportation. I am available Monday-Friday during the summer months and very flexible on times & responsibilities. If you are interested in talking further please feel free to message me, thank you! 😊

My name is Ajuné, I'm 23, and I'm a student at Cornell. I'm majoring in Psychology in order to become a clinical child psychologist. I have a lot of experience as a babysitter, nanny, and preschool assistant teacher. I've always been great with younger children and have felt like they gravitate towards me. Their sweet, innocent energy makes me feel at peace. I had my first recurrent, independent babysitting gig at about 11 with a 2-year-old boy, and my first job with a 1-year-old girl a year later, both of which went very well. Since then, I've babysat multiple other little girls and boys of various ages (2 months+), needs (including special needs), and personalities. I have experience sitting up to 3 children at a time but have supervised up to 12 as an assistant preschool teacher. I look forward to serving your family!

Hello! My name is Sophie and I have been watching children for 7 years. I am 21 years old and a junior majoring in communications at KU. I have watched children of all ages, and love to connect with all of them! I sat for the same family for 6 years, nannying for them in the summers. It was a great privilege to watch them grow up, and becoming someone in their life who had an impact on them is why I love kids. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and have had experience with medical emergencies before while babysitting. I have sat at all times of the day and am very experienced with bed time (I love to read them stories!). I can cook and make snacks, clean, and take care of pets. I have a car and experience with car seats and driving children. I love to be outdoors and get the kids active and outside. I am also an artist and fostering their creativity is my favorite thing to do! I know many arts and crafts and am able to teach drawing and painting skills. Once classes are over for the semester, I am available M-F for all-day care during the summer.
