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 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.

As the oldest child of 5 (including my twin!), I have experience with all age groups. I also have about a year’s professional experience with all age groups as well! I’m certified in CPR and AED use for infants, children, and adults. I grew up with three cats, I currently have two dogs, and my brother has had several fish I’ve helped with. I’m most familiar with cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes. I was a leader in my high school choirs and theatre, and I’m currently attending the University of Kansas for a BFA in Theatre Design! Music and theatre hold very special places in my heart, and I’m very passionate about both fields.

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.

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!
