A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Skye Cavallaro. I am currently a part time substitute teacher through various Kansas city charter schools. As a substitute teacher and former behavioral technician, I bring a strong foundation of patience, adaptability, and child-centered care to my babysitting approach. My experience in the classroom has taught me how to manage different personalities, keep children engaged, and maintain a structured yet fun environment for all. Working as a behavioral technician has also given me valuable skills in understanding children’s emotional and behavioral needs, allowing me to respond calmly and effectively in a variety of situations. I am confident in my ability to create a safe, supportive, and positive space where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable, while also giving parents peace of mind.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tambrisha but I like to go by Brisha, and I’m a loving mom and experienced childcare provider with a background working in school settings. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. Being a mother has given me even more patience, understanding, and heart for kids, and I bring that same care into every family I work with.

I have hands-on experience supporting children in structured school environments, assisting with learning activities, routines, and positive behavior. I’m currently nannying to earn extra income while continuing my education, and I love that I get to do it by caring for amazing children.

I’m reliable, nurturing, and attentive, and I always treat every child as if they were my own. I look forward to creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where children can thrive.
