Koi $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I go by Koi and I'm looking for a part time nanny/sitter position for 25-30 hours a week between the Olathe and Lawrence, KS areas. I have two years of floater experience in childcare with toddlers and babies and absolutely adore my kiddos! I get 16 hours of annual health & safety and developmental training, and will continue to do so to ensure I can provide the best environment for your child. I'm quiet, attentive, calm-natured, but value firm boundaries and redirection, and like to create a child-led environment fostering independence. I take "lead by example" to heart and value modeling above all else. As a natural-born learner and academic, I am always looking to educate myself on, understand, and find new ideas on supporting your child's development—cognitive, social, emotional, physical, language...they all matter! I also love outdoor play and using nature to explore creative opportunities, but some of my other favorites are reading and sensory play! I love to take inspiration from the book Sustainable Play. I'm not a parent, but I understand how important your child(ren) is/are to you. Above all, they are my top priority, and I hope my passion for children will be seen in my care for them! *I can offer references from co-workers and professors as requested.

Kasiya 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Allison $15 per hour for 1 child

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.

$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 22 families in Gardner, 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.
