A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sierra, I’m looking for a full time (~35-40hr/wk as well as weekend babysitting availability) nanny position this upcoming school year starting late August at the earliest!

I have more than eight years of babysitting experience with children ages 0-10, one year as a part time nanny for a family with three busy little boys (5, 8, and 10yo), and after this summer, three years as a camp counselor (ages 7-16/17).

Ideally, I’d love to find a family with younger children, but I am perfectly comfortable with any age. I am hoping to work a full time schedule, so I am available for school pickup/drop off. At my current nanny job, I am also responsible for taking care of a young dog, as well as light housework and very open to doing the same in another position.

My earliest availability for work is the last week of August (8/24), I work as a Program Lead at a YMCA camp in Kansas so I will be busy with that over the summer.

Thank you and have a lovely day,
❤️Sierra

A little bit about me

Hi!! My name is Sam! I am 20 years old and in my junior year of college at the University of Kansas. My first two years I studied exercise science to be a physician assistant, but just last spring I chose to switch to criminology. I take online classes that have much flexibility. I started babysitting when I was in 7th grade and still continue to when I can. My first job was working as a lifeguard which from there I was able to be certified in cpr and first aid training. I picked up many babysitting gigs with families at this job due to it being a country club and the same people would come to the pool every day. I then switched to working at day cares which I have now worked at three different ones. My first one was at YMCA where adults would drop their kids off in the “child zone” so they are able to work out. My responsibility was to watch the kids and make sure they aren’t doing anything to hurt themselves or others etc. The next 2 summers I worked at day cares.
