Booked by 1 family in Gainesville, TX

Hello, My name is Key and I'm currently a student at Texas Woman’s University. I am available for child care, senior care, and light household services. I was previously a nanny for a family of 3 children for over a year. I’ve also watched newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and dinner help and bedtime routines. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

Kiari is a great baby sitter, she enjoys the time with my son and I know they are going to have a great and safe time. She is very reliable as well.
