Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I have several years of experience nannying children of all ages — infants, toddlers, and school-age kids alike. I hold a Master’s in Social Work with a certificate in Clinical Mental Health, which gives me a strong grounding in child development, emotional regulation, and creating a supportive, structured environment for kids to thrive. I also have a Bachelor’s in Fine Art with an emphasis in painting, so I love bringing creativity and hands-on art projects into everyday care. I’d love to bring warmth, patience, and genuine attentiveness to your family. I’m happy to chat more about your specific needs!

- I have years of experience (since I was 10/11) taking care of children of all ages and animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc) - I have a car, and am comfortable driving wherever I am needed, whether it is for errands or taking kids somewhere. - I can cook and help with homework! I’m comfortable with making bottles (breast milk, formula, or whole milk) and with changing diapers and dealing with blowouts/changing clothes. - I worked at a daycare in Lenexa for almost a year, primarily in the Infant room (ages 4 months to a year) but also helped out in the Toddler rooms (1 year- 2 1/2 years) as well as with ages 3 years and up. - I’m currently a nanny to a 15 month old and have been watching her since she was 6 months old. - I am CPR and First Aid certified. - I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Kansas and am primarily located in Lawrence. My schedule and availability changes each semester.

Abbey is wonderful with my 4 year old son. Communication is always the best and she is flexible with times and even location. I’ve have had her watch my son weekly since the first time she was hired. Will continue working with her!

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.

Jacqui has excellent communication—whether it’s about her expectations as a sitter, upcoming shifts she has you down for, or if something pops up to interfere with a shift. Jacqui loves kids and allows them to be fully themselves. She also brings her vast experience to the table and helps the children to grow and learn and have fun. Jacqui is firm but flexible. She is confident in her skills. I appreciate her expertise and gentle manner with my daughter.

I love working with kids (and animals)! I am the oldest sister of 5, so I have a lot of built in experience with kids! When my cousin was sick, I watched both of her baby boys full time and absolutely loved it. I have experience in watching infants, making lunch, making bottles, cleaning, etc. I have always been passionate about taking care of little ones.

Hello! My name is Natalie I am a sophomore at the University of Kansas! I have been around kids my whole life, including many cousins and family friends I've cared for. One of the families I took care of had two kids, with one of them having special needs. I watched them from second grade through middle school, so I got to build a close relationship with them over the years! Some of our favorite activities included baking, playing outside, having fun movie nights, and going out to eat. I also have experience helping with household cleaning and tidying up while babysitting. I love creating a fun and welcoming environment where kids can have a great time!

Hi! I’m a PhD student in Clinical Child Psychology with a master’s degree in psychology and extensive experience working with children and families. I’m also a licensed foster mom, so I am CPR and First Aid certified and have spent years supporting children through behavioral, sleep, and toileting challenges in both clinical and caregiving settings. Although it’s been a few years since I regularly babysat, I’m nearing the end of my PhD and have more flexibility in my schedule again. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. I bring a calm, patient approach and a strong understanding of child development. I’d love to support your family however I can!

Hi! I’ve spent over 25 years working with children of different ages and backgrounds, and caring for kids has always been something I truly enjoy. I love getting to know each child’s personality, helping them learn and grow, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience includes owning an in-home daycare, teaching preschool, and for the last 12 years, I've been working as a special education paraprofessional. I’ve worked with children from infancy through school age, including children with different learning, behavioral, and developmental needs. I understand that every child is unique, and I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routines. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and attentive. I have experience with daily routines, meal preparation, activities, behavior management, and creating a positive, structured environment. I’m also trained in supporting children with a variety of needs and have experience working as part of a team with families and other professionals. I genuinely enjoy helping families and being someone they can trust with their children. I want kids to have fun, feel supported, and be themselves while knowing they’re in good hands!
