Lily Kansas City
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Lily and would love the opportunity to help you out. I am a part time college student so I have a lot of free time. I find so much joy in helping people and making new connections. I have experience with kids, pets, and household chores. I like to keep busy so anything you need I'd be happy to do. My experience I am the third of 10 cousins and an older sister. I have helped teach summer schools and Bible schools assisting with children pre-k to 6th grade. I can play games, assist with homework and anything else. I can help with pets too. My household has had 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny and snake, as well as fish. I can dog walk, scoop litter, feed, play, etc. I can also clean and organize your home. Last summer I helped elderly folks clean and declutter and enjoyed that so much. I can sweep, vaccume, wash dishes, and do laundry. If you have errands you need to run but don't have the energy, I do! I am a detail oriented person who enjoys keeping things orderly and doing things right. I would love to help in any way I can!

$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sofía, a nanny who loves helping kids grow, learn, and have fun. One of my greatest skills is planning activities, I’m also a teacher and I know what kids love and how to keep them engaged, so parents can rest assured their children will have fun and feel at ease. As part of their daily routines, I sometimes introduce a few Spanish words it’s often hilarious to them, and it sparks their curiosity, helping them pick things up quickly. I’m all about creating a safe, positive environment where kids enjoy themselves and learn. Schedule me now, and let’s make it fun for your little ones!
