A little bit about me
Hi!! My name is Akiah but everyone calls me Kia! I have my bachelors in psychology at WestChester university. I love kids and enjoy watching them grown and learn through new experiences, especially babies. I want to find employment with a loving family I can work with while I work towards my masters. It would also fulfill my interest in helping guide others through life’s obstacles and overall growth, this way I can always be fulfilled in my work and strive for better. I have tons of experience with kids, I started babysitting in high school and went on working mainly with kids professionally as a whole as time went on. I hope to be able to build bonds with any family I work with to better understand each other and inspire longevity.

A little bit about me
My name is Pertunia originally from South Africa. I have started taking care of the little creatures at the age of 11 years old , as growing up I always played the role of being a big sister. Being the last born at home & not having a little sister/brother was not the fun times for me but when I started babysitting for my next door neighbor I found in me something that I thought I had , the genuine love for the little ones , it grew every time I saw someone’s else’s baby & I found passion from there I started doing more of babysitting & I love spending time with the little ones because it brings me alive as they show us a different world. Choosing me to take care of your kids will be the best decision you would have ever made.

*Flexible to relocation
Hello my name is Kira. I am the oldest of four in my family and grew up babysitting/nannying children for roughly 11 years now. I have also volunteered for four years in assisting the upkeep of a program called Top Soccer, a special needs soccer team for children and adults ages five years and up. I have found out of all my jobs that I love working around children the best. They brighten my day and have taught me patience, kindness, love, and joy. I try to approach children with both gentle care and efficient guidance. I am easy going and open to lending a hand beyond childcare and am open to cleaning and cooking, etc upon further instruction. Thank you for reading,
Kira
