Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Kayla! Teaching/caretaking is absolutely my calling! I can’t remember a time it wasn’t! Beyond taking my first CPR and babysitting class at 11, to having a sister 12 years younger, to fulfilling all my high school volunteer hours in the church nursery, I have spent 14 years professionally working with children ages 6 weeks to 18 years in a variety of settings, including: Early Childhood Education facilities, as a supervisory camp counselor for GT middle/high schoolers, and even as a teacher at a farm school! The list goes on, so please ask me for details! I heavily lean into Love and Logic practices to create respectful, joyful, and secure relationships with kiddos that inspire social-emotional regulation and the confidence to make good choices. I am a certified ECE Lead Teacher, Level II in the state of Colorado. My most recent CPR certification expired this past February— I am willing to get this renewed and already intend to for my daughter’s safety! My husband, 1.5 yr old daughter, and our whole lot of animals moved to Connecticut from Colorado back in October. We do not have family here and have been working on building our new community and getting settled in our new home! It’s been a true gift to be able to stay at home with my daughter for the last year and a half. However, I am ready to return to my passion in a different, but more personal, capacity— as a nanny! Ideally, I am looking for a position in which I would be able to include my daughter. She will still be in my full time care, as my husband works and commutes long hours. I truly can’t wait to meet you and your family!

I enjoy working with children and animals because I love taking care of others and creating bonds with different families and people.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
