Booked by 1 family in Kansas City, KS

Hi - my name is Amanda! I’ve been working with kids for about 8 years, starting when I was 13. I have experience with babies as young as 6 weeks all the way up to school-aged children. I’ve worked in several daycare settings, but most of my experience comes from babysitting and nannying. I’m currently part of a nanny share and truly adore the kids I care for. Along with creating safe and fun environments, I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up after the kids or any small things parents might need. In my free time, you’ll usually find me at home with my cats, shopping, reading, or watching TV. I’ve always loved working with children and feel really thankful to have a job that lets me do something I genuinely enjoy.

Booked by 1 family in Kansas City, KS

Hi my name is Izzy! I’m 30, living in Lenexa with my husband and two fur babies! We have a 2 year old English cream golden retriever named Willow and rescued an Australian Shepard mutt named Smudge from KC pet Project back in August last year. I work as an open heart surgical nurse and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. I love caring for others and that extends to my love for animals. I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up which has lead to a deep love for them. I spent many summers caring for neighbors home, animals, plants, ect. growing up when I would have a break from school. I would be honored to be considered to take care of your animals or any needs you may have. Please feel free to ask any questions and hope to work with you soon!
