Find experienced babysitters in Linwood, KS

I’m a 27 year old special education para for grade school aged children. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, from babies to early teenagers. I also have experience supervising and providing care for multiple children through my previous work at Lawrence Community Shelter. I will be working the extended school year during the month of June between 7am-12pm, but am looking for a sitting position basically any time outside of those hours, and have completely open availability after that until school starts again in August. I enjoy art, reading, and spending time outdoors, and I would love to share those things with the children I care for. I am a non-smoker with reliable transportation, and am eager to help in any way I can, including cooking, housework, and caring for pets. Let me know how I can be of help to you and your family, and I look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Jacqueline. To start off with a little bit about my experience, I am currently a Postpartum Doula for a set of preemie triplets, totaling over 10 years of Doula experience with multiple births. I have worked in home day cares and childcare centers, as well as babysitting and nannying for ages newborn to 12 years old. I have raised 4 children and will be a new grandma in December! I absolutely adore kids and always make it a point to treat them how I want my children & grandchildren to be treated! I truly believe that my passion is working with children and think it's important to not only care for them, but to teach them through creative activities as well. I have 3 animals of my own, so I’m definitely a huge animal lover! A few general activities I enjoy doing with children are singing, dancing, playing instruments, reading, painting/crafting, learning colors/ABCs, fun outings, etc.

Hello! I am currently a junior at KU studying political science and pre-law. I have experience with nannying and with newborns all the way up to middle-school age children. This sounds like it could be a really great fit! I am able to provide references and would love to chat more on the phone or meet in person to discuss further details!

Hello! If you are looking for a dependable, organized, and nurturing House Manager/Family Assistant, I’d love to be considered for the role. I have over 8 years of experience working with children ages 0–12 in both nanny and babysitting positions, along with hands-on experience helping families maintain a smooth, well-run household. I am BLS (Basic Life Support) certified, and the health, safety, and well-being of the children in my care will always be my top priority. In addition to providing attentive and engaging childcare when needed, I genuinely enjoy helping create a calm, organized, and supportive home environment for busy families. I’m comfortable assisting with household tasks such as tidying and organizing common areas, children’s laundry, meal prep, dishes, running errands, keeping schedules on track, and helping manage the day-to-day flow of the home so parents can come back to a peaceful and functional space. When caring for children, I focus on creating a positive and enriching environment through age-appropriate activities like outdoor play, walks, park visits, arts and crafts, board games, imaginative play, and helping encourage healthy routines. I’m also highly experienced in infant care, including feeding, swaddling, soothing, diapering, helping with gas and fussiness, and recognizing different cries and needs. My goal is always to provide loving, attentive care while supporting the overall needs of the household. One important note: I would need to bring my infant daughter with me during working hours. She was born in March and is still in the young infant stage, so she spends much of her time being worn, resting, or feeding. I’m hoping to find a family who is open to this arrangement and values a warm, family-oriented environment. I would love the opportunity to speak further about how I can support your family and help your home run more smoothly. Warmly,Faith Ehrsam
