A little bit about me

My name is Kayla.
I come from a big family and have been around kiddos for most of my life.
I was a baby sitter, kids ministry lead/teacher, youth leader/camp counselor through most of my teen years.
I started child care professionally with a family friend in 2019.
In 2023 I become a live-in nanny/au pair in Australia for 6 months with a wonderful family. (Ages 14m, 5, 7)
Once back home, I became a nanny for 2 amazing kids. (Ages 6, 8) After 1 1/2 years I left and help care for 3 kids in Hawaii. (Ages 7m, 2, 4) it was a family tripped. Did another live-in/vacation care for one month before the family moved on.
Once home, I started with a wonderful 3 year old. Handling morning care and supervised visits. Exploring new things everyday. Still with them as of now.

I have my own car and valid license.
I am cpr and first aid certified.
Each family requires different needs. Parents need a little help sometimes.
As they say it takes a village. Hopefully I can be part of your village.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I’m a creative individual!
My goal is to bring out the imagination, creativity, and curiosity in children. Now a days kids are stuck on screens (as am I) and don’t allow themselves to get bored. Boredom sparks creativity.

I love to make crafts and art pieces. Playing pretend. Dance parties and so much more.
I enjoy nature. As everyone should. Going to play outside, get dirty and just enjoy the day in the Sun. I try to teach the little
ones to appreciate the earth we live on and the beauty it holds.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being able to show the kids (and sometimes families) that with a little bit of patience, kindness and curiosity life is beautiful.

My experience with special needs children...

I have helped babysit and care for a family with 3 autistic kids. I would primarily care for their child with a PDA profile.

Most of our time was spent in play and creative expression.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel every day is special with kids. Being able to see them become a capable and complex human is truly awe inspiring.

The moments when I see the child(ren) figure something out. Try something new.
Watching their bravery and curiosity is truly the highlight of the job.
