A little bit about me

I’m a nurturing and experienced nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including a background as a preschool teacher. I’ve cared for children from infancy through school age, supporting key milestones such as potty training, early speech, social development, and school readiness. I bring structure, creativity, and warmth to each day—planning engaging, age-appropriate activities and building strong, trusting bonds with both children and parents. I also have experience traveling with families and assisting school-age children with after-school routines and homework. Whether helping with first steps or supporting growing independence, I love creating safe, joyful environments where kids can thrive.

"Jayla has such a sweet person and my kid loved her!! The reason she doesn’t work for us anymore is because we moved. She built a strong connection with my son and he always looked forward to seeing her when she came. She communicates well, she a hard worker, she’s caring. She was a part time preschool teacher and also was taking care of my son. She came with us when we traveled and even on her days off, if I needed her she came. So she’s very dependable. She’s a great person. Any family who picks her will be lucky to have her!!"

"I hired Dontae for about a year (2020-2021) . She is the most trustworthy, attentive babysitter I have come across by far. She is an excellent caregiver, she is patient, understanding, gentle, and responsible. In the duration of the time that dontae cared for my daughter, my daughter had a strict feeding schedule (due to medical reasons) and Dontae made it her priority to keep up with that schedule. Dontae had also shown to have good experience of what to do in case of an emergency. Dontae made it POSSIBLE for me to go to work, and have peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in good hands. I’m forever thankful I came across Dontae’s babysitting profile! I recommend Dontae 100%!"

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Kyla. I grew up in colorful family of teachers in NW Washington D.C. and just relocated back to the area from the West Coast.
Since the start of COVID-19, I have decided to make a career change from public health administration to child care / education in hopes of maintaining a healthy work-life balance while still exercising my passion for family development.

As a sitter, my goal is to help families bond and prosper without overstepping boundaries. I aim to strengthen relationships by lightening the demanding workload that comes with being a parent to enable families more time and emotional energy to live in the present.
