A little bit about me
I have been nannying for almost 3 years now and have loved every second of it. I am enrolled in Missouri State University and majoring in Speech Pathology. I love working with kids and watching them grow into their little personalities. I am super fun and love all things bubbly, bright, and colorful! I am currently looking for some part time work before I go back to school in August, so reach out if you need me!

A little bit about me
I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am currently earning my master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. My background helps me understand child development, emotional needs, and how to create supportive, positive environments where kids feel safe, confident, and cared for.
I’m available for short-term nannying, date nights, or part-time care before I begin my new full-time role in early November. I can assist with homework, crafts, outdoor play, bedtime routines, and light household tasks.
Families describe me as: patient, responsible, and upbeat — someone who brings structure, calm, and creativity to their home.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Kansas City, MO
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Kansas City, MO for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Kansas City, MO
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
