Hi, my name is Ky! For the last 6 years I have worked with children/ students. I started at a daycare working with infants- pre-k aged kids, followed by nannying for a family of a 2 yr old, currently I work in a school district with high school aged special needs while pursuing as degree in social work (BSW). Besides my career, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and our dog named Chance as well as doing little hobbies, like building, Lego sets and painting.

As a responsible high school student and athlete, I’ve mastered balancing school, extracurriculars, and work—making me a reliable choice for babysitting. As the oldest child and only girl in my family, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for my younger brothers. From cooking meals and doing laundry to washing dishes and keeping them entertained, I’ve handled it all. If your child ever needs help with homework or staying organized, I’m more than capable of lending a hand. You can depend on me to provide attentive care, though my schedule can get busy at times, so feel free to contact me for more details!
