Hi I'm Kimberly! I've been a mother for 12 years. I have multiple children, and have always been the go-to babysitter for friends and family. I enjoy having littles around, as do my children. I believe parents know best, and thus I try my best to provide a personalized approach to each child based on the family's needs.

Shayla Fullerton
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, and it’s something I’ve always truly loved. I’m looking for a side job that’s more fulfilling than my current full time position, and caring for kids is exactly that and more. I love doing crafts, helping with homework and tutoring, cooking fun meals, and spending time outside. I also love Zootopia more than I should probably admit. I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids feel happy and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

I have worked in a high school setting for over 17 years, specifically working with students with disabilities; helping them with college and career services.

We did field trips and daily activities in the areas of: Physical Fitness, Language Arts, Arts & Crafts and Science. I was also a director of a before & after school program.
