A little bit about me

My name is Kayla, and I have a strong background working with children of all ages in both home and school settings. I’ve previously worked as a nanny, where I gained hands-on experience providing attentive, reliable care while creating a safe and engaging environment for kids.

In addition to my nanny experience, I’ve worked in schools as both a Behavioral Technician (BT) and a paraprofessional. In these roles, I supported children with a wide range of needs, helped manage behaviors, assisted with learning activities, and built strong, positive relationships with students. This experience has given me a lot of patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to each child’s individual personality and needs.

I genuinely enjoy working with kids and take pride in being dependable, nurturing, and attentive. I’m happy to help with daily routines, activities, homework, and creating a fun, supportive environment where children can thrive.
