As the oldest child of 5 (including my twin!), I have experience with all age groups. I also have about a year’s professional experience with all age groups as well! I’m certified in CPR and AED use for infants, children, and adults. I grew up with three cats, I currently have two dogs, and my brother has had several fish I’ve helped with. I’m most familiar with cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes. I was a leader in my high school choirs and theatre, and I’m currently attending the University of Kansas for a BFA in Theatre Design! Music and theatre hold very special places in my heart, and I’m very passionate about both fields.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. I have experience caring for children of different ages, helping with daily routines like playtime, meals, and bedtime, and working with children who have different needs, which has helped me become patient, flexible, and attentive. I am responsible, dependable, and a strong communicator, and I focus on creating a positive and safe environment for every child. I am also studying occupational therapy, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, behavior, and supportive care strategies.

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!

Ajune R.
- 12 years paid experience
- < 1 mile
My name is Ajuné, I'm 23, and I'm a student at Cornell. I'm majoring in Psychology in order to become a clinical child psychologist. I have a lot of experience as a babysitter, nanny, and preschool assistant teacher. I've always been great with younger children and have felt like they gravitate towards me. Their sweet, innocent energy makes me feel at peace. I had my first recurrent, independent babysitting gig at about 11 with a 2-year-old boy, and my first job with a 1-year-old girl a year later, both of which went very well. Since then, I've babysat multiple other little girls and boys of various ages (2 months+), needs (including special needs), and personalities. I have experience sitting up to 3 children at a time but have supervised up to 12 as an assistant preschool teacher. I look forward to serving your family!

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and cared for while having fun along the way. Watching kids grow, learn, and build confidence is something I find incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in being someone families can fully trust. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including infants and young children. I currently work in a childcare setting where I’m on my feet for several hours a day, actively engaging with children, supporting their routines, and responding to their individual needs. This has helped me become patient, attentive, and calm in all situations. In terms of skills and training, I’m experienced with infant care, feeding, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate activities. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative with parents, and I always prioritize safety while creating a positive and nurturing environment. I’m happy to follow family routines and adapt to what works best for your child. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!
