Hi parents!
I'm Lila, a passionate preschool teacher with 4+ years of experience working with little ones. Children are naturally drawn to my vibrant personality because I focus on creating a fun, engaging environment where your kids feel safe, happy, and inspired.
I believe in the magic of play, creativity, and hands on activities: crafting, storytelling, outdoor adventures, educational games, etc. Your child won't be glued to a screen and instead will be exploring, learning, and having a blast! I understand how to balance fun with structure, and I tailor activities to suit each child's interests and developmental needs.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Olathe for work.

Hello! My name is Mary and I have about 7 years of paid childcare experience. I’m mature but I love to have fun like going to the movies, mall, zoo, carnivals and so much more. I’m not afraid of getting dirty despite being a bit of clean freak. I have reliable transportation and can drive kiddos around. I truly love kids and helping parents out. Raising children is hard work with little off time; let me help! You deserve a break and a reset without having to worry about your kiddo(s).

Hi! My name is Aigner Flowers, my first name is pronounced (On-Yay), ever since I was little I was the oldest grandchild and as I got more cousins, I would always watch them at a young age. I absolutely love kids especially babies; they’re so cute!! Even as an older dancer they are very young kids in the class that I help out with from ages 2 - 7. Something that I love about babysitting is being able to teach young children new things! Whether that’s learning new words to spell, how to walk, crawl, and even clean up. Although I am only 17 I will not disappoint. I really enjoy energetic kids because that’s how am i especially when I'm excited. I also enjoy quiet calm kids because I’m quiet a lot of the times too, even shy! I hope I can babysit more children in the future, thank you!

Hello, My name is Deanne and I live in Leavenworth KS, I am 21yrs old and I love pets and kids alike!!
My experience with children starts with being the oldest of 8 children as well as nannying/ babysitting for families and friends when they need it. I also have been serving and volunteering in my church's nursery and kid hallway since I was 12! I also have experience with pets since I grew up with dogs and cats all of my life but recently I have dove into the realm of poultry/waterfowl so that's a bonus! I also have worked in a doggy daycare for a couple years so I know the difference in right and wrong behaviors/actions and I love going on walks with pets
One of my hobbies is cooking so I can cook as much food for a meal or as little for a snack! I love being outside and talking walks and doing park runs, I am not that brilliant when it comes to crafts but I can come up with some ideas to help entertain your littles

Fun Enough for the Kids, Responsible Enough for the Parents
Hi, I’m Addy! I’m 19, and I’d describe myself as outgoing, caring, and a little goofy once I’m comfortable. I’m the type of person who will absolutely commit to the imaginary restaurant your kid just opened and place a full order 😂.
I come from a family with younger siblings, so being around kids has always felt pretty natural to me. I love getting to know their little personalities and figuring out what makes them laugh, what they’re interested in, and what helps them feel comfortable around me.
Outside of babysitting, I’m getting ready to start college in the spring, I’m a huge animal lover, and I’m usually spending time with my family or finding something new to get into. I’m looking forward to meeting some great families and hopefully becoming someone both the kids AND parents are excited to have back!

Hi! I’m Addy! I’ve been helping care for my little brother since he was a baby (he’s 8 now), and I also have a 2-year-old little sister, so I’ve gotten plenty of real-life experience with everything from bottles and diapers to snacks, playtime, tantrums, and the famous “but I’m not tired” argument. 😂
I’m patient, dependable, easygoing, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I love keeping them entertained, whether that means playing games, getting creative, watching their favorite movie for the 47th time, or just matching their little personalities. My goal is to make sure your kids feel comfortable and have fun while also giving you peace of mind knowing they’re safe and cared for!
