Hi! I’m a responsible teen looking to babysit. I have experience caring for kids – I recently babysat a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old, and I’ve also helped watch a 7-year-old neighbor for a couple of years (informally, not paid). I enjoy spending time with children, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re safe.

Cook simple meals or snacks
Help with homework or activities
Clean up after playtime or meals
Run errands that are within walking distance
Availability & Notes:
If the babysitting is after 8 PM, I will need a ride home.
I don’t have a car, but I’m happy to help with errands nearby.
I’m friendly, reliable, and excited to work with kids! Message me if you’re interested and we can talk about your needs and schedule.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel within Lawrence for work.

Hi! My name is Heaven, and I’m a passionate, reliable, and energetic caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. From museums to summer camps to after-school programs, I’ve supported kids in creative, safe, and engaging environments that help them grow and thrive. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have worked as a Child and Youth Program Assistant for military families, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Museum Studies with a focus on education and youth programming. Whether it’s helping with homework, leading fun activities, or just being a supportive presence, I love building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with.
