A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Kailiah! I’m an 18-year-old babysitter with 6 years of experience caring for children ages 3 months to 14 years. I’m patient, kind, and reliable, with a calm yet fun-loving demeanor that helps me connect with kids of all ages.

I’m knowledgeable about childhood development, a great problem solver, and I stay calm under pressure, making me ready to handle any situation. I can cook, tidy up, run errands, and safely transport children. I’ve also spent 4 years as a camp counselor at Summer Hummer, leading activities and caring for kids ages 3 to 13—a role I absolutely love!

Outside of babysitting, I’m an online student and part-time gym employee, planning to pursue an Associate’s Degree in Biology next year. I love animals and would be overjoyed to care for pets as well. At home, I live with my mom, little brother, two cats, and a dog. I take pride in being dependable and adaptable and would love the chance to support your family!

Laura Bennett
"We had the pleasure of having Kailiah care for our 3 year old and 8 month old on two separate occasions and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was so attentive, kind, and patient with both kids, making an instant connection with our toddler and handling our baby with such care and gentleness. Our toddler loved playing games, doing crafts, and reading stories with her, while our 8 month old seemed completely at ease in her arms. She kept both kids engaged and happy, which is no small task with their different needs! We also appreciated how communicative Kailiah was on both occasions, keeping us updated and making sure everything went smoothly. Even in the short time she was with us we could tell how much she loves working with kids. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for a dependable, warm, and capable nanny or sitter."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve loved working with kids ever since I started babysitting at 12 years old! Over the past 5 years, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to be a camp counselor, where I created fun, engaging activities and ensured kids had a safe and memorable experience. I’ve also spent years caring for my baby and toddler cousins on a regular basis, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with little ones. Caring for children has always been a rewarding and exciting part of my life!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged and making every day fun and exciting! I enjoy taking them to places like parks or hands-on children’s museums to explore and learn. At home, I’m all about creativity—whether it’s arts and crafts, playing dress-up, or diving into make-believe adventures. I also love playing outside, joining in their games, or just spending time with their favorite toys. When they’re feeling calm, I’m happy to read, color, chat, or occasionally watch something age-appropriate together. My goal is to create activities that are both fun and enriching for the kids!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is creating a sense of safety, comfort, and joy for children and their families. I specialize in caring for infants, toddlers, and younger kids, and I know how important it is for little ones to feel nurtured and secure when their parents can’t be there. I focus on helping children feel safe, confident, and valued by providing a loving, supportive environment where they can thrive. I love building special bonds with the kids I care for, establishing trust, and making them feel seen and understood. Whether it’s soothing an infant, engaging a toddler in play, or simply making them smile, my goal is to bring happiness and peace into their lives. I also believe in showing patience, gentleness, and compassion to set an example for children. I aim to provide relief and reassurance to families by being dependable and supportive, making life easier while creating joyful memories for their children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

All of my nanny moments are so enjoyable, but my absolute favorites are the ones where I can make the kids smile and giggle. Those little moments of joy and laughter are so rewarding and remind me why I love nannying. Creating happy memories for the kids I care for is always my top goal!
