A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Emily.
For 10+ years I have worked with children (newborns to 16 years). I have been employed as a daycare associate, babysitter, tutor and nanny.

A little bit about me

My name is Cece Ulrich . I am a Junior at Rockhurst University majoring in elementary education.
I have over 8 years of childcare experience working with children of various ages and abilities.

’ve spent years working with children through coaching and teaching. I’ve led structured activities for kids ages 5–12 at Woods Tennis Center and Wilderness Ridge Country Club & Resort, and I’ve assisted with lessons in both school and community settings, including programs through ACEing Autism and Tennis Without Limits.

I’ve also worked with children of all ability levels, including those with disabilities, through Lincoln Tennis Buddies and Special Olympics. These experiences have helped me build strong communication, patience, and classroom management skills, while learning how to adapt to each child’s individual needs.


I have gained experience working with elementary students through classroom observations in various schools, teaching lessons, and leading small-group instruction.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Kansas City, MO

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Kansas City Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Kansas City? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Kansas City?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in MO? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility.
