A little bit about me
My name is Kyla Spencer, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate childcare professional based in Lima, Ohio, currently looking to relocate. With years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through their early teens, I’m excited about the opportunity to support your family. I pride myself on being hardworking and proactive. I was honored as the first female All-American at my school—an achievement that reflects my drive and leadership. I’ve cared for children from 3 months to 14 years and held roles ranging from nanny to nanny/house manager, balancing childcare with household tasks. Growing up in a foster family gave me early experience managing multiple children’s needs and creating a calm, structured space. I’m certified in infant and adult CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I have a clean driving record with a reliable vehicle. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care into your home and become a trusted part of your family’s team.

"I am actually Kyla's school counselor and have had the privilege of getting to know Kyla over the last couple of years. Kyla has assisted with many soccer camps for a variety of ages and is also a referee for many soccer games as well. Kyla has had many interactions with my own children, all of which have been very positive."

"Gabrielle expresses a raw talent a lot of Nannies that I had before didn’t. She genuinely loved and cared for my little ones as if they were her own. Always on time, would come at drop of a hat if we had an emergency. I wish we could take her with us on our journey but we can’t. A beautiful individual inside and out. I would recommend her 1000x over if I had to."

"Maria worked for us for over 18 years. In those 18 years Maria rarely if ever missed a day of work. She was very conscientious in following all of my instructions. We have 4 children ranging in age from 24-19. Our youngest 3 children are boys and are all within a year of each other. Maria was wonderful with all of our kids and adapted easily to their different personalities. Two of our boys were diagnosed with ADHD when they began school. Maria was extraordinarily patient yet firm with them which is exactly what they needed! All 4 of our children consider Maria a part of our family. My husband and I traveled several times a year and we left Maria in charge of our kids with no qualms. Maria is responsible, honest, hardworking and truly enjoys taking care of children. She frequently planned physical activities for our kids when they were little. In short, you could not ask for a better person to care for your children than Maria Dolores Mendiola!"

Because of her previous experience as a lifeguard, we felt especially safe when she took our son to the pool. They have a beautiful bond, and she remains our go to babysitter. Any family would be lucky to have her"
