Sophie D.
- 7 years paid experience
- 1 mile
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.

- 5 years paid experience

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! My name is Leah Lukert, and I’m a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Kansas, majoring in Digital Marketing/advertising in the School of Journalism. Outside of classes, I stay busy as an active member of my sorority and love being involved on campus. For the upcoming spring semester, I’m looking for an afternoon or evening babysitting position. I’ve been working with children for over eight years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. It allows me to combine my passion for childcare with my love for connecting with others. I’m CPR and First Aid certified through my experience as a lifeguard and recreational center leader, so safety is always my top priority. I bring the same energy, reliability, and sense of responsibility into every home I work in. Whether it’s helping with after-school routines, organizing fun activities, or simply spending quality time together, I always aim to create a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment for the kids I care for.

Ashura P.
- 9 years paid experience
- 10 miles
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!
