Hello, my name is Kailey Dobson and I am a junior at the University of Kentucky. Although I am seeking a degree in English, I have always enjoyed working with and being in the company of children. As an older sister, aunt, and former preschool teacher, I have found that I have missed being around children. I miss playing with them, laughing with them, and most of all, helping them learn and witnessing their progress. I worked as a classroom assistant a preschool and have also babysat since I was in my early teens.

Hello! I've been working with children professionally since 2017. I have 2 years of experience working at a daycare, Temple Trager ECEC, then 5+ years of experience working with older kiddos (7+ y/o) in mentorship positions, both paid & volunteering, through United Crescent Hill Ministries. I've been a camp counselor, babysitter, tutor, and everything in-between. I have extensive tutoring experience & am great at homework help, phonics, and providing additional academic support to kids. I also have loads of experience working with children who face behavioral and emotional challenges, so I am skilled at diffusing situations & working through the big emotions of little people with care. My current job isn't in childcare, it's in law, so I don't get to spend a lot of time working with kids anymore. I'm looking for weekend and holiday childcare jobs doing what I love to do most, which is youth enrichment! I love spending time outdoors and doing crafts in my own free time, and I love to incorporate those activities when I can. I'm a huge bookworm, so I love to share that love for reading through activities related to the books and characters I read with kids. Whether alone, with friends, or with kids I'm looking after, much of my free time is spent on a blanket outside with a good book, music, and some crafts.

Hi, I’m cassi. Thank you for taking the time out to review my profile. I’m the second oldest out of 5 kids. I have been babysitting my 3 younger brothers since I was 12. I’m 24 now and still babysit them bc one of them is handicapped and another one has mild autism. I stay at home to help my family bc my mom has a rare condition and can’t do as much as she use to. I clean around the house, do laundry, take our dog on her daily walk/run, do homeschool with my brothers when needed to, I go to doctor/ therapy appointments for my brothers, etc. I can babysit any age group including kids with special needs. I have always loved being around and caring for children. I love seeing their face light up with joy over some of the smallest things. i enjoy seeing them learn something new everyday. I love playing hide and seek, board games, hiking, nature photography, baking, arts and craft(even though I’m not good at it, it’s still always fun), reading books to little kids, playing outside, etc. I’m compassionate, kind, patient and full of energy. I’ll be shy at first but as you get to know me you’ll see a whole different side( good though, I promise ). I’m going to be honest though and say I don’t drive as of right now because I have driving anxiety but I do have a ride to be able to get to your place. I know that a lot of families require your own transportation which is why I’m letting you know in advance. If this is alright then that’s good. i used to have a certification for cpr but not anymore since it expired. but i still know everything that has to been done in any case of emergency
