A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kaila — it's so nice to meet you!
I'm currently a senior in college and home for the summer, and I'm excited to spend this time doing something I truly love: working with kids! I've been babysitting since I was 13, so I bring over eight years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages.

I'm a creative, energetic, and responsible caregiver who genuinely enjoys connecting with kids and making each day special. Whether it's arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor adventures, or hands-on learning activities, I always aim to keep kids engaged and having fun while also encouraging curiosity and growth. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, homework, meal prep, and sticking to daily routines.
If you’re looking for a dependable, enthusiastic summer nanny who truly enjoys spending time with children, I’d love to chat more. Thank you for considering me to be part of your family's summer!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Kiara and I am 20 years old. I studied early childhood education at College of the Desert in my first year, but am now pursuing business. Working with kids on the daily has always been my passion and making connections with little kiddos is what fills my heart! There truly is nothing else I would rather be doing. I enjoy singing, dancing, sports, and more! Being active is very important in my life so I try as best as I can to encourage the kids to do the same. I also have experience with distanced learning and can assist with online sessions. (Also fully vaccinated and Covid conscious. ;))

I hope to be a perfect fit for you and your family! (Side Note: Currently working for a family full time until the kids go back to school August 5th. Looking for a full time position then).
