Hello, I go by Koi and I'm looking for a part time nanny/sitter position for 25-30 hours a week between the Olathe and Lawrence, KS areas. I have two years of floater experience in childcare with toddlers and babies and absolutely adore my kiddos! I get 16 hours of annual health & safety and developmental training, and will continue to do so to ensure I can provide the best environment for your child. I'm quiet, attentive, calm-natured, but value firm boundaries and redirection, and like to create a child-led environment fostering independence. I take "lead by example" to heart and value modeling above all else. As a natural-born learner and academic, I am always looking to educate myself on, understand, and find new ideas on supporting your child's development—cognitive, social, emotional, physical, language...they all matter! I also love outdoor play and using nature to explore creative opportunities, but some of my other favorites are reading and sensory play! I love to take inspiration from the book Sustainable Play. I'm not a parent, but I understand how important your child(ren) is/are to you. Above all, they are my top priority, and I hope my passion for children will be seen in my care for them! *I can offer references from co-workers and professors as requested.
Hi! My name is Soraya, I’m 19 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn and grow. I’ve been caring for children from newborns up to age 11 for the past year, and I love creating a calm, safe, and fun environment for them. I’m a patient and imaginative person, and I love using creativity to keep kids engaged — whether that’s through storytelling, games, crafts, or outdoor play. I’m also very respectful of household rules and routines, and I always communicate clearly with parents through whatever method they prefer, whether it's texts, calls, or quick updates at the end of the day. I have some college experience, and I’m comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. Having a positive impact on a child’s day means a lot to me, and I’d love the chance to bring my calm energy and creativity into your home!
I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I have lots of experience with school age children! I have been babysitting since I was around 10 years old. My aunt owned a daycare company and so I helped her after school for many years. As a senior in high school I was also a teachers aide for a kindergarten class so I have experience creating activities and helping with school work A little about myself, I am currently a senior at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth. There I am a part of the swim team, honors program, theology club, prelaw club and more. I was also previously a lifeguard so I have very extensive CPR, First Aid, and Emergency training. Let me know if you have any more questions, thank you for your time!
I am a certified nursing aide who has experience with senior care in a senior living facility. I have CPR and basic life support certifications as well. I have a brother who is a toddler that I regular babysit. As well as various other family friends children. In addition, I have experience in caring for animals such as dogs, as I have three dogs myself and I regularly care for my friends animals as well. I am a very flexible and lively individual who can find fun activities for anyone and everyone to participate in!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
