Kylie Strackbein - Seeking Work in Baton Rouge

Nanny Kylie

"Kylie is an excellent nanny and we are sad she moved away. She got along perfectly with our toddler and was always doing a fun activity with her. The house was always tidied up when we got home even though we didn't ask her to do that. Overall, just a very pleasant person to work with; very punctual, responsive to communication, dependable. We would definitely hire her again if she moved back :)"
