Booked by 1 family in Shawnee Mission, 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!

Saydee Overland Park
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is saydee and I am super excited to meet new families and become a part of your family. I have my associates degree in early childhood development from JCCC. During my schooling I worked at a daycare in the infant room working with infants ages to 6 weeks to a year. I also experienced working in the toddler room which was ages 2-4. After graduating I became a nanny to 4 children, ages 3, 7, 8, and 11. I have worked there for 2 years. My tasks were daily chores such as dishes, laundry, and tidying up. I would make snacks, breakfast and lunch on a daily. My goal while I was a nanny was to bring everyone together to have fun and productive days. I would also encourage reading, practicing grammar, math, and learning letters and new numbers (for the youngest)! I love being creative and bringing new ideas into children's lives. Creating crafts is an excellent way to express creativity, and i've found that it feels rewarding to children. I also love reading and encourage it very heavily, learning how to read, reading to young ones and going to the library! While I was getting my associates degree I did get CPR certified for infants and young children!

Hi my name is Darriane , I am 30 years old with no kids but I have 6 nieces that I take care of occasionally. I love being a babysitter/nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities in the past have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and after school activities or just things to do in the community. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands as needed. I have been a caretaker for the last 8 years and I am comfortable with caring for all ages. I currently work with special needs adults and I have over 10 years of experience working with special needs children as well. I am CPR/ First- Aid certified. I enjoy caring for others, as I can adapt to different backgrounds and lifestyles very easily. I am very honest, dependable, reliable and good with time management. I am a active person, I don't smoke of any kind and I am very organized. I don't have any pets but I am not against pets as I USED to have a little dog.

Overland Park
$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 22 families in Shawnee Mission, KS

I am currently a nanny and do lots of baby sitting in the Kansas City area. I have experience as a full-time nanny for a 1.5 and 3 year old. I also have experience with newborns, babies and toddlers, as well as young kids and teenagers. I’ve taught gymnastics to all elementary school ages and have experience as a middle school/high school youth group leader. I have limited experience with children with autism. However, I have had good outcomes when I do watch them, and have taken to me well. I’m open minded and friendly. I am a child at heart, so I enjoy the activities we do throughout the day, especially getting outside! One of my favorite parts of the job is teaching and seeing the growth and development over time. I also admire the small things we can learn from children as adults. I’m great with animals, so that’s never a problem, and I would love to dog/cat sit. I’m open to help with cleaning, organizing, meal prep, grocery shopping, and driving. My availability has a tendency to be inconsistent due to my other jobs. If my calendar states I’m unavailable for a certain day, feel free to contact me in case I am available.

Great Job.
