DD is awesome! She is punctual, easy to work with, and she is clearly passionate about working with kids. She immediately hit it off with our toddler which is not always easy to do. Also, our 10 month old baby has been going through the stranger danger phase but DD knew exactly what to do to keep her happy. She was able to get her down for a nap with no issues on the first try... I even took some pointers from her that first day. I know my kids are in good hands when they are with DD and would recommend her to anyone!

Hi there! My name is Angel, and I absolutely adore spending time with children. They are bursting with incredible energy and an infectious joy that fills my heart. I am passionate about working with children because they have a remarkable ability to teach us valuable lessons, such as appreciating the simple pleasures in life. Over the past 13 years, I have had the privilege of working with children in various capacities, including babysitting, nannying, camp counseling, daycare assistance, teaching assistant, kindergarten and preschool teacher, and even as an education administrator. I have had the pleasure of working with children ranging from newborns to 16 years old, and I have grown to love getting to know their unique personalities and individual needs. Watching children grow and learn is an absolute delight for me. I am thrilled to be a part of their journey, helping them navigate the challenges of school and life in general. I have had the opportunity to work with children in different areas and schools through relief work, and I have developed a deep passion for childcare that I can’t ignore. Currently, I am pursuing my education by going back to study Early Childhood Education and Business. I am eagerly looking forward to completing my schooling and becoming a principal. Kids are simply my favorite to be around; they never fail to bring a sense of excitement and wonder into my life. Angel Murph

Rachel L.

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

Hi! I’m Lauryn—a warm, reliable caregiver with a true love for working with children. I have experience as a nanny, lead camp counselor, and assistant teacher at a Montessori school. I’m currently in college studying Child & Family Development, and caring for kids has always been a passion of mine. I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy building connections with children, watching them grow, and being someone they can feel safe and comfortable around. Every child is different, and I love adapting to their unique personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of all ages in group settings and one-on-one, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. I’m also CPR-certified, very organized, and attentive to routines and safety. Whether it’s helping with homework, imaginative play, or bedtime, I’m here to support both the child and the family however I can. I’d love the opportunity to be part of your village and make a positive impact in your child’s day!

Lauryn was reliable, safe, and very sweet to our three year old for afternoon pickup from preschool. She did a great job driving him, making sure he had his snack, and keeping him entertained until we got home from work. We have another baby on the way and have changed our work schedule, but we would not hesitate to use Lauryn again.
