Hi! My name is Kyla, and I’m currently a junior in college majoring in Elementary Education. I’ve always had a passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment.As the oldest of around 12 grandchildren of all different ages, I’ve spent years babysitting and caring for kids, so being around children has always come naturally to me. In addition to family experience, I’ve also worked as a Summer School Teacher Assistant, where I gained hands-on experience supporting students, assisting with classroom activities, and creating a positive learning environment.I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and love building meaningful connections with children. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply making sure your child feels comfortable and cared for, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I look forward to helping families and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing experience for your little ones!

I am a 18 year old student currently in enrolled at swic to become a licensed nurse in psychology. All also while being a full-time working employee. I enjoy letting children be children because i grew up having a very active childhood which i would never be bored. My family received the special chance to take in a child at just 6 months, taking care of him and treating him with love and educating him with the way of life. Which he not only became my mother’s responsibility but mines which he’s now 6 years old. I am a very understanding person when it does come to children and parenting because everyone’s children are different so I make it my best duty to accommodate not only the children but parents as well when it comes to snacks, food and drinks. Also including phone time or any certian health issues. I am very patient and handle and tasks that I am given with care :)❀️

Hi! My name is Evelin and I’m an organized, caring, and experienced caregiver who truly loves being around children. As a mom of two, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a warm, supportive environment. I am CPR certified and confident in handling a variety of situations with calmness and care. During the day, I work one-on-one with Dr. Kristen Marten at UW Health, a pediatrician who cares for newborns, toddlers, and teenagers. In this role, I support her patients directly, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with children of all ages and needs. This background has strengthened my ability to communicate, multitask, and respond quickly and responsibly. I have a passion for helping kids learn, grow, and feel comfortable, and I truly enjoy every moment I get to spend with them. With my professional experience, personal parenting background, and dedication to high-quality care, I would love the opportunity to show you that your child is safe, supported, and well cared for with me
