I believe in encouraging curiosity, independence, and confidence while making sure every child feels safe, valued, and cared for.I also understand how important it is to support the entire family, so I’m happy to help with children’s meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing play areas, and maintaining daily routines. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and someone who thrives in busy environments. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with pets, and always strive to be a positive, trustworthy presence in every home.I look forward to building a strong relationship with your family and becoming someone your children are excited to spend time with each day!

Hi, my name is Kaylah. I've been working in the childcare field for about 3 continuous years, and overall, 6 years part-time. I love and enjoy working with children daily! What I've grown to learn is that while in childcare, you get to see the growth in all of your students. You don't realize how fast a child is actually learning and growing until you spend one-on-one time with them. I'm open to many opportunities such as babysitting, a nanny, etc. I'm always free and available on weekends as well.

As a college student studying Elementary Education, I love building connections with kids! I currently work in a daycare, primarily with preschoolers, and I have spent the last four years as a summer camp leader supporting children with physical and intellectual disabilities. These roles have taught me how to adapt to different needs with patience and creativity. I am comfortable supporting everything from high-energy playtime to structured routines, including homework help, imaginative play, and meal preparation. I am looking for a position during the school year, specifically as after-school support and on weekends. I look forward to meeting your family!
