>> Open for occasional and part-time care. I am available weekdays and weekends during the day. 11am-5pm. I am passionate about raising empowered, compassionate, connected children. My high-level goal is to create experiences and build relationships that will foster a connection with the natural world, inspire movement + music, and make room for creativity + authentic expression. I have my degree in Psychology and have worked with children in various capacities for the last 10+ years - as a nanny, babysitter, teacher, nursery care coordinator. I am currently pursuing a master's in Art Therapy. Would love to connect with you!

Kayla was FANTASTIC! She established a wonderful relationship with my daughter quickly and played with her genuinely and thoughtfully throughout the day. She went the extra mile- building a snowman and pulling a sled. My daughter didn’t want the time to end! We cannot wait to work with Kayla again.

Hi my name is Adyson and I am currently a sophomore at St. Ambrose University. I love babysitting and have been since I was 17 years old. I also am a camp counselor in the summertime. I can watch children of any age but I have the most experience with children ages 5+. I am looking for occasional/ part-time jobs since I am still in school. I love pets and am willing to also provide pet care. As well as household services such as laundry and cleaning.
