A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kiera , and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic person who enjoys working with kids. I’ve been babysitting my little cousins since they were as young as 9 months old, all the way up to age 8, so I’m very comfortable with different age groups. I’m CPR certified, and safety is always a top priority for me. I love coming up with fun, activities like games and story time. I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and light cleaning. Families can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and fully present when caring for their children.

I’m currently in high school and play a fall sport (volleyball), so I have summer workouts. In July, I’m available after 12 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In August, I have workouts Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. However, I’m always available to babysit on weekends—anytime!
