Kayla $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Kayla, and I'm a college student home for the summer. Originally from the Chicago area, I spend my summers in South Haven with my grandparents. I'm responsible, dependable, and love working with kids. I've been babysitting for over four years and spent two years teaching swim lessons, which strengthened my patience, communication, and leadership skills. As a D1 student-athlete, I'm organized, energetic, and reliable. I'm happy to help with daily routines, outdoor activities, crafts, meals, homework, and trips to the beach or pool while making sure your children feel safe, supported, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, caring support for your family this summer!

I'm Amber, nice to meet you! My background is rooted in deep adaptability, resilience, and a genuine warmth and passion for helping others. I possess a unique level of empathy and emotional intelligence that allows me to tune in to the needs of the people and environments I care for. When it comes to qualities that make me a great caregiver, I pride myself on being grounded, observant, reliable, and protective of the peace and safety of those in my care. My talents include a natural warmth, aiming to add some sunshine to the environment! Exceptional organization, clear communication, and an intuitive knack for anticipating needs before they could become stressful. My hands-on experience spans several areas: •Seniors: I bring a deep sense of patience, respect, and attentive care when supporting older adults, ensuring their daily needs, comfort, and safety are always prioritized. •Kids: I am reliable, creative, and firm yet gentle, creating a structured, safe, and engaging environment where children feel happy, secure, and valued. •Pets: I have a natural pull and attentiveness toward animals, ensuring they receive the active care, routine, affection, and play time that they deserve. •Household Services: I take great pride in maintaining clean, orderly, and peaceful living spaces, understanding that a well-kept home directly contributes to mental clarity and well-being. Ultimately, my experience has taught me how to be patient, stay calm under pressure, pivot when unexpected challenges arise, and pour genuine heart into everything I do! Looking forward to helping your family however I can:)
