A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kayla Lambert. I am 20 years old (21 this year). I was born and raised in Connecticut. My family and I moved to Estero, Florida in August of 2015. In May 2017, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Estero High School. There, I obtained my DCF training hours (45 hours), making me qualified to work in any childcare facility in Florida. Since then, I have babysat and nannied for many families in the Southwest Florida area, including but not limited to, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Fort Myers. I was also a preschool teacher at Discovery Day Academy for two years. In addition to extensive childcare experience, I am also a mom to an eight month old boy, and a trained postpartum doula. Infant care is my speciality!

"Lisa was an amazing help to me and my two kids (5,7). While I was working, Lisa would get the kids ready and off to school, make lunches, and run errands during the day. She is 100 percent trustworthy and was always putting safety of my kids above everything. Not only would she get errands finished, but did laundry and grocery shopping. Lisa is a great cook and was always willing to start dinner or meal prep for me when needed. I was so sorry to lose her when she returned to Florida. Responsible and hardworking people are so hard to come by! Lisa is a true gem and any one would greatly benefit from her hard work and wonderful personality!"

A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Carly M. I’m originally from central Ohio and moved down to the sunshine state in 2019. Currently located in Cape Coral finding a new path in life! I have 6 years of experience teaching first grade and 3 years teaching preschool. I was also an assistant director at a preschool and after school care center. I’ve babysat for children ages newborn to 12 years old for 15 years. I attend greatly to schedules, meal prep, and cleanliness. While babysitting I enjoy providing experiences outside/taking walks, swimming, reading books, baking, imaginative play, and playing games. I’m very flexible/go with the flow and love creating sensory, science, and art projects with kiddos.
I’m very outdoorsy; My hobbies include hiking, camping, biking, kayaking, and swimming. In my down time I create pottery on my wheel, lounge by the pool, tend to my plants/garden, and explore outdoors. Please feel free to reach out if evenings and weekends work with your family's schedule.. ☺️

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Joy, I am a Filipino and 25yrs old. I dont have any bad habits first of. Filipinos are known to be hospitable thus we are mostly in the hospitality industry (caregivers, nannies, USRN). I have bachelor’s degree in HRM. Ever since I am good with handling kids starting from my young cousins before which grew up taken care by me (not paid tho), I love kids and have all the patience with them. I can do light housekeeping and laundry if needed. I have drivers license and can definitely cook healthy meals. I am interested with morning part-time. Hope we can work out schedule and be interested to meet me to further discuss. I am very open to learn and very sociable. Thank you in advance future family!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kyleigh and I’ve been working with children for almost 7 years. I started my journey freshman year of high school doing the childcare program in my school. And I spent all 4 years learning the ins and outs of being a preschool teacher. I then began my job journey when I was 17 working at a daycare. And have been working with children at every job since then! I find so much joy in working with kids and I know it’s my calling!

Hi there, I am Jennifer! My heart has always been for children and family, so it is wonderful that I get to do this for a living.
