A little bit about us

Hi everyone!

I’m Nawaporn, and I’m excited to introduce our little one, [Baby’s Name] (born [birth month/year]—currently [age in months/years]). I’m a first-year DMA student at KU and also teaching in the Pianos Without Borders program. My husband is currently away in Basic Training with the National Guard, so it’s just me and baby during the week!

Childcare Schedule:
We’re looking for help on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 3-5pm. Tuesday and Thursday 11-1pm. I’ll usually be nearby Meadowbrook, but I need focused time for practicing, classes, or teaching.

Responsibilities:
• Basic care (feeding, diaper changes, playtime)
• Naps and comforting if needed
• If you’re open to light help with baby-related tidying (bottles, toys), that would be wonderful but not required.

Other Info:
No pets at the moment. Baby is very sweet and curious—loves music (of course)! We’re flexible and just grateful for gentle, reliable support.

Let me know if you have questions—thank you so much!

A little bit about us

Need someone to watch my 1.5 year old on Saturdays while I work. It would be for approximately 10 hours starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. We are looking for someone who enjoys time outdoors, and structured crafts/ creativity. She is definitely adventurous, loves to climb, and playing in dirt is a joy of hers. She has bad fear of missing out so she fights her naps and typically takes one around 4:00. She is spunky and loves figuring out new ways to do things, and only a tad mischievous.

However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the 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 make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.

The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Lawrence. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
