Hello! My name is Kasiya I’m a 21-year-old college student at Johnson County Community College, currently pursuing my degree in Respiratory Care with the goal of becoming an RRT. I was born and raised in Overland Park, KS, and have been working in childcare for 7 years in a variety of settings—including summer camps, daycares, after-school programs, and in-home care. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens (0–14 years old), and I’m also great with pets. I’m CPR certified and approved to supervise groups of up to 10 children at a time. My experience includes homework help, arts & crafts, planning fun group activities, and keeping a safe and positive environment. I’m also happy to assist with light cleaning, meal prep, and household tasks to help things run smoothly. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and energetic, and I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging atmosphere for every child in my care!
“Kasiya was great! She watched our daughter and was very reliable, a great communicator and our gal seemed to have a good time. I would have her back again. I recommend her!”
Hello, Imm Allison and I am a 42 year old living in Olathe. I have been here for 11 years. I moved here from Iowa to be close to my niece and nephews, who are now 18 and 14. I am a paraeducator at an elementary school in Overland Park. I have been doing that for 11 years now. Prior to that, I have worked in daycares and as a private nanny. I enjoy working with kids if all ages. In my free time I enjoy babysitting. I love the outdoors whether it's playing games, sports or simply just going for a nice walk. I also love swimming. I also enjoy playing board games and reading books to children. Other than babysitting, I enjoy reading good nin fiction books, spending time with friends and family and thrifting.
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!
Hello! My name is Taylor and I'm 23 years old. I’m new to Kansas City, and I just began a part-time job as an Emergency Room tech at University Health downtown. I’m also pursuing my Master’s in Public Health and will graduate in December. I graduated from Mizzou in 2025 with my bachelor’s degrees in Health Science and Spanish, and my ultimate goal is to become a Physician Assistant. I haven’t babysat since I was a teenager, but I have 4 years of healthcare experience where I’ve taken care of patients of all ages. I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I even had the opportunity to volunteer in the NICU at University Hospital in Columbia, MO. I’m organized, reliable, and look forward to providing your child with safe and entertaining experiences. ¡Hola! Me llamo Taylor y tengo 23 años. Me mudé recientemente a la cuidad de Kansas, y acabo de empezar un trabajo de medio tiempo como técnica de sala de urgencias en University Health en el centro. También estoy cursando mi maestría en Salud Pública y me graduaré en diciembre. Me gradué de la Universidad de Misuri en 2025 con mis títulos universitarios en Ciencias de la Salud y español, y mi meta final es ser asistente médica. No he trabajado de niñera desde que era adolescente, pero tengo 4 años de experiencia en el sector de atención medica, donde he cuidado a pacientes de todas las edades. Estoy certificada en RCP y soporte vital básico (SVB). Incluso tuve la oportunidad de hacer trabajo voluntario en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales (UCIN) en el Hospital Universitario en Columbia, Misuri. Soy organizada, confiable, y tengo ganas de brindarle a su hijo/a una experiencia segura y entretenida.
My name is Sarah. I am 22 years old and currently a senior online at The King's University. I am planning to go get my master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling in the fall. I do have my own car. I have a really big family so I have been babysitting kids for as long as I can remember. When I was 16, I watched my 6-month-old cousin for a weekend by myself. I have tons of cousins between the ages of 0-15 whom I have babysat on many occasions. I have watched multiple kids at the same time on many occasions as well. My mom worked at a daycare for teachers' kids for a few months and I helped out a couple of times there also. I have more recently been working with a nanny company in Raleigh NC. During my time at this job, I was with multiple families. I helped them do laundry, and dishes and (most importantly and fun) played with the kids. I am very sad to leave and have only been due to moving to KC, Missouri. I love kids and I understand the importance of who influences a young life. When I babysit, it is important to me that the child has the attention they need. I had babysitters often when I was younger and I know that sometimes when they didn't play games with me or always engage with me it hurt my feelings. With that in mind, I am willing to help with homework as well as play games and engage with your kids. The days and times you need sound amazing with my schedule and would love the opportunity to work for you! I would really appreciate the opportunity to work with you and would love to meet with you or call to talk more.
