Sophie D.
- 7 years paid experience

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.

Ajune R.
- 10 years paid experience
- < 1 mile
Hi there! My name is Ajuné, I'm 21, and I currently attend Cornell University with an intended major in Psychology. I aspire to become a child therapist. I've always been great with younger children and have always felt like they gravitate towards me for some reason. Their sweet, innocent energy melts my heart. I had my first recurrent, independent babysitting gig at about 11 with a 2-year-old boy, and my first gig with a 1-year-old girl a year later, both of which went very well. Since then, I've babysat a number of different ages (from 2 months), siblings (up to 3), and personalities, as well as children with special needs. I would be glad to entertain your child, provide homework help, make sure things stay tidy (or get tidied up before I leave), and prepare easy, light meals. I'd also be glad to help with pets; I love animals! Full disclosure, I do not drive and generally use the bus and/or rideshare for transportation. I look forward to connecting with you!

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!
