A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kayla Gentles, and I am a caring, patient, and dependable nanny/babysitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.

I have experience caring for children of various ages, including those with special needs, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, creative play, and outdoor time, while also maintaining daily routines and structure
