Kaleea $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello!!My name is Kaleea, and caring for kids is truly my passion! I’ve had the joy of working with children ranging from sweet little infants all the way up to energetic 6th graders. With hands-on experience, I’ve developed a patient, fun-loving, and nurturing style that helps kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and grow. I’m currently a full-time college student (online!), majoring in Medical Diagnostics with dreams of becoming a pediatric ultrasound technician one day. I’ve always had a heart for children, and I’m excited to build a career where I can continue working closely with them in both health and everyday care. Whether we’re singing silly songs, tackling homework, or building the best pillow fort ever, I love creating a warm and positive environment where every child can thrive. I’m responsible, and always bring good energy, creativity, and care to every family I work with. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
