Lily $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!

Nicole $16 per hour for 1 child

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!

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!
