“For the last 18 months, Evelyn has been an incredibly important part of our family, and it is hard to imagine our daughter's early years without her.As our daughter prepares to start school shortly after her second birthday, we find ourselves reflecting on just how much Evelyn has contributed to her growth, happiness, and development. Simply put, we could not have asked for a better nanny.From day one, our daughter (Baby A) absolutely adored Evelyn. She warmed to her immediately, and watching their bond develop has been one of the greatest joys of the past year and a half. Evelyn brings a special combination of warmth, confidence, creativity, wisdom, and pure joy that children naturally gravitate toward. What makes Evelyn so exceptional is that she truly understands children.One of the most impactful things she did was teach Baby A sign language before she could talk. The difference was remarkable. Our daughter was able to communicate her needs, feelings, and thoughts long before she had words, which dramatically reduced frustration and gave her an incredible sense of confidence. We now tell every parent we know that babies should learn sign language, and we have Evelyn to thank for showing us firsthand how transformative it can be.She also guided us through countless milestones and transitions. When Evelyn started, our daughter strongly disliked tummy time. Evelyn somehow knew exactly how to make it fun and engaging. Later, she helped us navigate getting off the bottle, potty training, and all the other developmental transitions that come with raising a toddler. She always approached challenges with patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Evelyn is wonderfully whimsical in a way that feels straight out of a storybook. She would create sock puppets out of nowhere, invent water-play activities, dream up art projects, and find creative ways to turn ordinary days into adventures. Her artistic talent is extraordinary, and she brought so much imagination and wonder into our daughter's life. As parents, one of the things we appreciated most was how communicative and trustworthy she was. Evelyn truly partnered with us. She listened carefully to our hopes and preferences for our daughter and always respected them. We never had to worry about what our daughter was eating, what activities she was participating in, or whether our wishes were being followed. We trusted her completely. The McKinney Family,”
Hi families! 🧸 I’m 46 and I’ve been a nanny for 15 years. I’ve cared for more than 200 families with kids from 2 weeks to 15 years old. I also worked as a teacher assistant at two daycares in Miami, including with children who have special needs or behavior challenges. 🌸 I love making a safe, warm and fun space where kids feel loved and can play, explore and learn. Your little ones will be well taken care of and they will have a good time. Let’s make happy memories together. 💕
Hello, my name is Kylee, and I received my B. A. in Digital and Video Film Production from Maryount California University in Palos Verdes. I love and have so much fun interacting with children. They have a such a way of looking at the world and I try to always remember seeing the world through their eyes from time to time. My mom spent many years teaching dance and drama at an elementary school which I would help facilitate by watching and playing with the kids. I have babysat since I was 16 mostly between the ages of 5 months to 6 years old. I also was actively working in the nursery at my church since I was 12. Children are amazing and can teach as much as they need to learn. I would really enjoy any opportunity to continue to learn and work with the little one's to help parent's out. Another fun job I have is working as a princess, face painter, and balloon twister. It definitely keeps my imagination sharp which is helpful when it comes to play time with toddlers and elementary age children. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be. If there is any way I can help alleviate some of that pressure I would be glad to offer my services.
“Oct 2025 Update: Kylee is great with our boys, now 7 and 3. She initially started with us when we had 1. She’s reliable, responsible, caring and very entertaining with our boys. Story time voices, games, songs, face painting, dancing-she does it all. Both are high functioning autistic so she’s experienced with special needs as well. I would recommend her again and again! (2019) Kylee was fantastic with our 7 month old. He wears a helmet for plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) so caring for him is a little more involved than your average baby. She fed, changed, and kept him entertained and safe. We’re happy to have her as our regular sitter. ”
Hi my name is Audrey and I am 27 years old. I have been babysitting/nannying with kids since I was 15 and have lots of experience with helping cook clean and run errands if needed also I love animals so no problem! In my free time I like to go on walks go to the park, picnics, read cook or play games. I do have a car so transportation is not necessary! I am around most evenings from 5-12pm so if you ever need a date night sitter, to run afternoon errands or even workout I’m around :) Please feel contact to text me if u have questions.
I started my studies at Olivet Nazarene University an hour south of Chicago, where I grew up but I am currently finishing my degree in Child Development Psychology while pursuing art in LA! As the oldest of 6 children I grew up playing a mom role for my younger siblings so I have spent my whole life taking care of children! While taking classes I had the opportunity to babysit and nanny so many beautiful children from newborns to preteens and also help families that had extra mental health needs as well. I am more than able to energetically keep up with children and show endless compassion and patience. I play guitar, sing and paint and would love to teach and help your children with their artistic talents!
“On time, reliable and friendly. Our kids enjoy her art activities and playful nature. ”
