A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Jayla, an experienced childcare professional with a strong background in nannying, family support, and hands-on care. I’ve been caring for children since my teens and have experience with children of different ages, including children with medical and developmental needs.
In my most recent nanny role, I cared for two young boys, including a child with epilepsy and frequent seizures. My responsibilities included meals, medications and medical needs, school transportation, homework, structured activities, potty training, laundry, light household organization, and caring for the family’s dogs.
I’m dependable, nurturing, organized, proactive, and comfortable managing a busy household. I value becoming a trusted, long-term part of a family’s life while respecting their routines, privacy, and parenting style. I’m also comfortable with pets and flexible with scheduling, including occasional evenings and weekends. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family! 😊

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Kimberly LaRaviere. I’ve always been a nurturing and caring person, and I knew at an early age that I wanted to work with children. I was a Preschool Teacher for 10 years. I started to feel the burnout, but wanted to still work with children, so I’ve decided to become a nanny in 2018 and I’ve been one ever since! I love teaching too, but love the personal nature of caring for children and families closely. I absolutely love being a nanny, and I will be a welcome and loving addition to your family.
