I’m offering babysitting/childcare along with pet setting if inquired. I have 6+ years of babysitting, starting when I was 12 years old. I have a deep love for children and knowledge on the importance their developmental years are. I have experience from ages of 6 months to 6+ years. I have confidence in my ability to provide great care for younger or older. I also have experience with multiple children care, so don’t fret if you have pairs of siblings!I’m reliable, patient, and can provide a nurturing, kind environment for your kids. I can follow any schedules/meals/bedtime plans you may have. I have a serv-safe food handlers certificate so preparing any nutritious meals you have planned for your child(ren) is no problem! I come to youβ€” so expect light housekeeping: tidying after the children, doing dishes we may use, and small things to leave the house in the same shape it was left in. Other potential house keeping can be discussed further!

hey there!! My name is Kaley. I am currently attending Roosevelt University and I am in my second year. I am excited to be apart of the Wyndy community in hopes of getting to connect with families and be a good influence for any kid(s) that I work with. I grew up with little siblings and currently work as an afternoon pre-k teacher at a daycare over the summers, so being involved and around children is something I am very comfortable with. My schedule is pretty up in the air at this point as I am a theatre student so my availability can be a little all over the place but I am ready and eager to help out whenever works for me and you! Reach out to me with any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
