A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kaylie, and I’m a full‑time nanny with a background in early childhood education. I’ve spent the last couple of years working with kids from 6 weeks to 12 years old, both in daycare and as a nanny, and I genuinely love helping little ones learn, grow, and feel supported.

I’m reliable, patient, and big on creating a fun but structured day. I’m comfortable with all ages, and I’m happy to help with things like light household tasks, driving to activities, and keeping routines running smoothly
