I'm originally from western South Dakota and I moved to Lawrence to study for my bachelor's in biochemistry. I have been a babysitter for over a decade now and a nanny for the past five years. I have worked with a variety of families and ages ranging from two months to sixteen years. I'm very high-energy and am an avid crafter. I enjoy making projects and learning new things as well as teaching others new skills. I am both CPR and first aid certified, additionally I received my nursing assistant certification as well so I can handle a bit more on the medical side too. Please reach out if you would like anymore information or would like to set up a call!

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and cared for while having fun along the way. Watching kids grow, learn, and build confidence is something I find incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in being someone families can fully trust. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants and young children. I currently work in a childcare setting where I’m on my feet for several hours a day, actively engaging with children, supporting their routines, and responding to their individual needs. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and calm in all situations. In terms of skills and training, I’m experienced with infant care, feeding, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative with parents, and I always prioritize safety while creating a positive and nurturing environment. I’m happy to follow family routines and adapt to what works best for your child. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!

Hello! My name is Ashura (“ash-rah”). I graduated from John Carroll University with a degree in Exercise Science in May of 2019. During my time at John Carroll, I was a member of the track and field team, a mentor, and a part of the Scholars service program as well. After graduating from college, I moved to California to pursue my doctorate in physical therapy at the University of Southern California. Life, however, had other plans and I now live in Kansas as I work towards my masters in Health, Sport Management and Exercise Science at KU. When it comes to my childcare experience, I have been caring for children for what seems like an eternity. I am the oldest of 3 girls, so I have helped care for my sisters since birth. I babysat for numerous families while I lived in Ohio. I’ve also done lots of work with children from volunteering, to tutoring, to working at a day camp. In California, I was the primary caretaker for several families with children ranging from newborns to about 6 years old. I have my basic life support certification, so I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and a clean driving record should I need to transport your child(ren). I have experience caring for children of all ages and am comfortable doing so. Overall, I am trustworthy, compassionate and a responsible caregiver who looks forward to meeting you and your family!

Sophie D.
- 7 years paid experience
- 1 mile
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.
