A little bit about me

Hello! I currently in a transition phase and I'm looking for a nannying opportunity in Ocala, Florida. I just got back from backpacking around Europe, and I'm only back in Ocala for a couple of months before I move to Tokyo to work as a teacher. I need to provide for myself in the time being but can not commit to a long term job since I will be moving soon (late July). I aim to be a passionate employee, as I love children and I have looked after children ever since I was a child. I can alter my schedule to meet your needs, I love cooking and I love to share what I've learned on my adventures.

"Kayla was a great babysitter. She helped take care of Gustavito when I had a last minute summer session class to teach in May. A coteacher if mine introduced me to her. She took care of him and made sure he was never bored while I was at work. It was only for a month but I would definitely hire her again to take care of Gustavo "

More About Me

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

Bug Camp at the University of Florida.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Hide and go seek! I like to draw and then have kids color in the drawings, a really fun way to bond. I'm an outdoors person, so I love outside activities, sports, and science. But, I can also get down to some video games, board games and all kinds of arts n crafts.

The most important part about being a nanny...

That I get to play! Being around children really keeps me young. The open-mindedness and energetic persona's of children challenge me to stay flexible and imaginative as I age.

My experience with special needs children...

I assisted with special needs children when I was in high school.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Secretly touching the temple of the Goddess of Athena. I was in Greece, looking after 2 children, they were bored and wanted to go into a restricted area, which of course I couldn't allow, but I bent the rules a little to allow them to place their hand on the ancient rock. Because of this slightly rebellious act, they gained interest and then wanted to hear about the history of the place we were visiting. They were not the easiest kids to interest and I felt very proud the moment I was able to teach them something while making it interesting to them.
