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.

Hi! I’m a PhD student in Clinical Child Psychology with a master’s degree in psychology and extensive experience working with children and families. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have spent years supporting children through behavioral, sleep, and toileting challenges in both clinical and caregiving settings. Although it’s been a few years since I regularly babysat, I’m nearing the end of my PhD and have more flexibility in my schedule again. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. I’m also completing certification to become an emergency foster parent and have finished extensive parent training. I bring a calm, patient approach and a strong understanding of child development. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Hi! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas, studying Early Childhood Unified, and my goal is to become a preschool teacher! For the past two years I have worked at an early learning center, and before that I was a gymnastics instructor at a Little Gym. Since I am in school, I am looking for a part time position, preferably on weekday afternoons. I can pick up/drop off at school, provide transportation to extra curricular activities, cook, clean, help with homework, and hang out with the kiddos!

I’ve worked in Montessori schools for about 9 years now. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, up through elementary age. Really love teaching and Maria Montessori’s philosophy of education. I joined Raintree Montessori school a few years ago as a substitute and enjoyed getting to work in different classrooms and having flexibility with my schedule, so I decided to keep subbing. Raintree keeps me pretty busy and they pay me more like a regular assistant due to my experience, but some extra work would be helpful, particularly over the breaks. I like to read/happy to bring books and activities. I’m a very experienced gardener and have worked on an organic vegetable farm/organized a cooperative community garden. I taught a Montessori inspired gardening class for toddlers one summer that was a lot of fun. Happy to work with kiddos in the garden if you have one. I like to cook/happy to prepare meals. I also speak basic Chinese and Hindi.

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.

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!
