Kyleigh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kyleigh, and I have been working in childcare since I was 15 years old. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I have gained experience working with kids of different ages in a variety of settings. I am currently a college student studying Psychology. During the week, I work as a Preschool Assistant at the YMCA, where I help create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for young children every day. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud older sister to my 10-year-old brother and 12-year-old sister. Growing up as the oldest sibling has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of being a positive role model. I strive to be a babysitter who is dependable, caring, and engaging. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, playing games, or simply making sure your children feel comfortable and cared for, I am committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for your family!

Education and learn through play is most important to me all while being able to create a safe and warm environment. I hope to work with you soon!

"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."
