A little bit about me

As the youngest sibling in my family, I was very fortunate to become an aunt at 9 years old. At 15, I became the primary sitter for my 6 nieces & nephews, which introduced me to the joy of caring for children. For my high school internship, I developed a "transitions" course, assisting children with the changes of K- to-1st grade and 5th-to-6th grade. For 5 years, I was a lifeguard/ children's swim instructor at YMCA, and an activity leader for an aftercare program. I was employed at Disney World for 3 years, where making "magical moments" for children was my daily joy. I have a B. S. in Event Management from the University of Central Florida. I have worked as a full-time professional nanny for the past 4 years, and hope to have children of my own in the next few years.

I believe it is a beautiful honor to be an integral part of a child's development; a responsibility I approach with patience, empathy, creativity, & communication.

Thank you for your consideration!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

getting creative! I encourage children to find exciting ways to channel their creativity; whether outdoors in nature, building a fort on a rainy day, or simply with crayons on paper... there are unlimited possibilities for creativity. I particularly enjoy creating fun, yet educational games together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

when a 9 year old girl I was working with opened up to me, and said that I taught her the importance of kindness and empathy. When I started working with her, she had a mean streak and often bullied others. After several months together, this began to shift, and I started to see her sweet, caring side more often. It felt like a huge win when she told me that I helped teach her that its better to be kind.

Kyera N. - Seeking Work in Elkridge

Babysitter Available in Elkridge, MD: Kyera N.

Hi! My name is Kyera, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently studying psychology, and I’ve always had a strong interest in working with children and supporting their development. I also have 6 younger siblings, so taking care of children has been a big part of my life. Growing up, I helped take care of my younger siblings every day, which taught me a lot about being patient, responsible, attentive, and understanding each child’s individual needs.

I’m a very caring, dependable, and patient person, and I genuinely enjoy being around kids. I like keeping them engaged through activities, playing games, reading, helping with homework, or just being there to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with their children, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!

Hi! My name is Asia, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience, including caring for infants and toddlers. My favorite part of being a nanny is building a genuine bond with children and becoming someone both they and their parents can trust.

I’m patient, active, nurturing, and love planning fun activities, outings, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning experiences based on each child’s interests. I also believe communication with parents is extremely important. I provide regular updates, follow each family’s routines and expectations, and communicate openly about any questions or concerns.

I’m CPR/AED certified, comfortable with pets, and have experience caring for children with severe food allergies and individualized needs. I’m looking for a family that values open communication, mutual respect, and a nanny who will genuinely care for their children!
