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!

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 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.

- I have a 4 hour minimum and I ask for a car home after 10pm for safety. Thanks! Hi! I am an actress/singer/photographer/web designer who adores kids! (and pets!) Originally from Kansas City, I have been living in NYC for 18 years. I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory of Theatre Arts in St. Louis, MO. Not only do I love spending time with kids - I also love performing for them. I have toured the country performing in the Dr. Seuss musical SEUSSICAL and I have also performed with Disney Cruise Line playing Mary Poppins, Mrs. Potts, The Fairy Godmother and more! I began babysitting when my little brother was born (I was 11) and I have been babysitting ever since! I adore kids and their outlook on life. They bring me so much joy. I have worked with newborns, teens and every age in between. I audition a lot during week days so nights and weekends are best for me. (I do not mind working really late nights!) I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Mallory was wonderful with our 9 month old son!! She was great at communicating and made my husband and I feel fully at ease being away from him for the night. We highly recommend her!!
