A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Kayia Anthony. I’m 19 years old and grew up in Chicago, IL, where family and community have always been a big part of my life. I’m a very family-oriented person with a genuine passion for working with children and helping others.

I have always enjoyed spending time with kids—whether it’s engaging them in fun activities, helping with homework, or simply creating a safe and positive environment for them to thrive in. I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and trust when caring for children, and I strive to bring all of those qualities to every family I work with.

As a babysitter, my goal is to not only ensure children are safe and cared for, but also to make their time enjoyable and enriching. I look forward to the opportunity to support families and build meaningful connections with the kids I care for.
