I’m a 29 year old mother of a 5 month old girl. I did years of child care during and after high school plus the occasional baby sitting since. I’m looking to earn extra money while still being with my daughter. She would be with me but I would give equal attention to any child with me as well. Have always been great with kids and keeping them active!

I’m Kayla, I have a 2 year old daughter. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 2 1/2 years. I’ve been applying everywhere and it’s seemed impossible. Then I realize their are women who are also trying to work and find care for the children. I am 27, single parent, looking to find a full time / permanent to semipermanent position with 1 or 2 families if the hours will work out for 2. Hard working, creative, am able to understand and sign ASL, fun, attentive. If you may have any questions do not hesitate to message me & we can see our possibilities.
Thank you for your time.
