A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kalei, and I’m a responsible, energetic, and patient babysitter with a passion for working with children. I have about a year of experience caring for kids ages 4–9, and I’m very comfortable managing multiple children at once. I also have consistent experience working with individuals with special needs, where I volunteer several hours each week in my local community.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m confident handling a variety of responsibilities including meal prep, homework help, bedtime routines, light cleaning, and pet care. I always respect household rules and am comfortable setting clear expectations to help create a safe and structured environment.

I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and games.

I’m available on weekdays after 4 PM and have full availability on weekends. I’m also very flexible and happy to work with your family’s specific needs!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged with a mix of fun indoor and outdoor activities that spark creativity and energy. Inside, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, building forts, playing games, baking treats, and even having little dance parties to keep things exciting. When we’re outside, I like organizing games like tag or scavenger hunts, going to the park, playing sports, or just enjoying fresh air with activities like chalk drawing or bike rides. I try to balance fun with learning and always choose activities that match each child’s interests so they stay happy, active, and involved.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me about being a nanny is creating an overall, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I care about building trust with both the children and their families, while respecting household rules and maintaining clear structure. It’s important to me to encourage creativity, confidence, and positive behavior through engaging activities and patience. I also value being reliable and flexible, so parents can feel at ease knowing their children are well cared for and in good hands.

My experience with special needs children...

I have meaningful and consistent experience working with individuals with special needs, dedicating at least 3 hours each week to volunteering in my local community. I’ve had the opportunity to work with organizations like Life Rolls On and Young Life as a counselor, where I support and connect with kids in a positive and encouraging environment. I’m also involved in school clubs focused on connecting with and supporting students with special needs. Through all of this, I’ve developed strong patience, adaptability, and communication skills, allowing me to create a safe, inclusive, and uplifting environment for every child I work with.
