Ajune R.
- 12 years paid experience
- < 1 mile
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!

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!

Hi! My names Allie Zamudio, and I'm from Oklahoma City. Currently, I am a freshman at KU, so I'm in Lawrence anytime besides breaks! I am pretty quiet, and I strive to make others happy with me. People would describe me as very empathetic, kind, careful, and silly. At home, I have 6 younger siblings between the ages of 1 and 17. I'm constantly babysitting kids in my neighborhood, mostly around the ages of 4-11. I've been babysitting/nannying since I was around 13! Being in Lawrence has been a big change since I'm used to being around so many younger kids. I'm excited to get to meet new people and work with new kids! Feel free to contact me for any references or to set something up!

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!
