Ky’Ana $15 per hour for 1 child

Hii, my name is Ky’Ana (key-on-uh) and I’m a college student majoring in interior design. I have great experience in babysitting numerous kids of all age groups all at once. I have previously helped my grandma(she does foster care) with babysitting and/or taking care of her foster and adopted kids for over 3 years continuously, and I still occasionally help out with babysitting from time to time. I’ve babysat 6 kids all at once ranging from babies to school age kids of different demographics, abilities/disabilities, and more. I not only watched them, but ensured to keep them engaged in meaningful activities while she was gone and being sure of their safety and well-being. I look forward to helping someone out in the same way too!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
