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 am currently a sophomore in college and have 6 years of babysitting experience. Being around kids is something I enjoy, and I love to get creative with activities and ways to keep kids entertained. I have experience with kiddos from the ages of less than a year old to middle school age, and I have two dogs back home, so pets are totally comfortable for me to be around! I have first aid training and am comfortable in difficult situations should they arise. I also have my own car and am comfortable handling light housekeeping, meal prepping, homework help, diaper changes, and putting kids to sleep. I am very patient, energetic, and adaptable if kids have specific needs that need to be met! Feel free to reach out with any questions or for references!

Hello! I am a third year physical therapy student at KUMC. I’m on my full time unpaid clinical rotations and am in need of some extra cash. I worked at a Bright Horizons in Iowa for 2.5 years as a toddler teacher. I typically floated between the infant, preschool, and kindergarten prep rooms as well. I also have experience as a summer camp counselor and fitness center childcare provider that helped me connect with older children. I currently nanny a family of four, ages 2.5, 9, 12, and 13 years, and have been doing so for two years. Unfortunately with them being in KC and me in Lawrence right now, I have less availability for them, hence why I am on here!

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!
