A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Grace I’m a 23 year old University of Kansas graduate with a warm, energetic, and responsible personality. I spent two years in high school nannying for a 3 year old and a 6 year old, and I’ve missed working with kids ever since. I’m currently transitioning out of a sales role and am looking for a part-time position while I explore my next career path.

I’m patient, dependable, and creative. I love planning fun adventures, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, and whatever else helps make your family’s day run smoother. I’d love the chance to support your household and get to know your kids!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a grad student with over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-age. I've worked as a nanny, babysitter, and mentor, and I truly enjoy creating a safe and supportive space where kids can learn, play, and feel seen.

I'm patient, dependable, and love keeping kids engaged through fun activities like storytime, crafts, learning games, and outdoor play. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with school pickups and carpooling, and happy to help with light tidying or meals related to the kids.

I believe communication is key, and I always keep parents informed in whatever way works best for you. Whether you need someone part-time or consistent support throughout the week, I'm excited to bring positive energy and care to your family.

Looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Yailene, and I’ve always had a big heart for working with kids! Growing up with a toddler and a high schooler as siblings (talk about range!), I quickly became the go-to helper in my family — from diaper duty to high school homework. I’ve also cared for family friends’ children, from newborns to teens, and even kids with special needs, including epilepsy and ADHD.

I’m super organized, love to cook (especially kid-friendly meals!), and I bring a fun, energetic vibe while always staying alert and responsible. Whether it’s playtime, story time, or navigating a tricky moment, I’m all in and ready to support every step of the way!
