Hello, my name is Kayla and I am a student at The Ivy Institute of Esthetics. I am offering child and pet care. I currently work at a daycare and would like to provide care during my free time. I have also tutored kids kindergarten through second grade. I do have experience with taking care of pets as well.

Kayla did great with our 2 y/o daughter! She is reliable, flexible, and punctual. Her approach is very soft spoken and gentle. She’s reserved but you can feel her calm, patient presence. My little one quickly became comfortable with her and that stood out. We will be booking as a recurring family!

Hello all, I am a licensed and certified ELA teacher, with a BA in Sociology and Master’s degree in Education. I have many certifications ranging from geriatric care to swim instructor, and have worked as a teacher, private tutor, home educator, family au pair, and more. I have just moved back from Tennessee and am looking to help families in the area. I am great with animals, children, and plants! I enjoy the outdoors and being active, and have a passion for inspiring others to grow. I am open to supporting families doing anything from plant care, pet care, child care, elderly care, house work, cleaning, tutoring, homework help, and swim lessons. I hope we can connect, and work together to bring harmony, joy and peace to your family lives! Please inquire about any possible opportunities! Blessings!

Professional, on time, very reliable and pleasant to talk to
