Hi! I’m kalani :) I’m a 21-year-old college student and I love working with kids! I’ve been an afterschool counselor, camp counselor, and a substitute at an early learning center, so I’ve had experience with children of all different ages. I’m warm, fun, and positive — I love arts and crafts, music, and anything creative or playful. I have my own vehicle and can help with school drop-offs/ pick-ups, activities, or light household tasks. I always aim to make kids feel safe, supported, and happy!

Greetings!! I'm thrilled at the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Mikaela. I am a loving, kind, and genuine person who values responsibility, respect, and trust. My family-oriented nature and sociable personality make it easy for me to connect with others, and I believe in living life to the fullest by exploring new places, cooking, meeting new people, and enjoying each moment. As a wife and mother of a 13 year-old son, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Multi-Media Studies/New Media from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA in Healthcare Management from Western Governors University. I am a Practice Manager at Gastro Health-Pediatrics located in Boca Raton; where I bring my extensive business background and experience in Maternal Fetal Medicine, OB/GYN, and Pediatrics to support and advocate for others. You might be wondering, "What brought her to UrbanSitter?" Great question! I believe that children are a true blessing, and I am eager to meet and support other families in any way I can. I’ve always believed it takes a village to raise a child, and I know firsthand what that entails. I take joy in getting to know each child's unique personality, likes, and dislikes, and I always ask parents for this information to create a fun and educational plan for our time together. I focus on providing personalized, one-on-one attention to each child and enjoy engaging in a variety of activities, from arts and crafts to reading, singing, dancing, yoga, and sports. I’m also more than happy to assist with cooking and other household tasks if needed, and I make sure to clean up after every activity. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your family's needs. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. Sincerely, Mikaela C.

I’m a reliable, compassionate, and highly experienced caregiver dedicated to providing exceptional care for children, families, and properties. My approach blends professionalism, intuition, and empathy to ensure that every household runs smoothly and every child feels safe, nurtured, and respected. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to teens — including those recovering from illness or needing extra attention and comfort when parents are working or away. While I am not a medical doctor, I’m confident and calm in managing basic care needs, administering medications under parental instruction, and maintaining detailed notes to keep families informed. I understand that every child has unique needs, and I take pride in creating a gentle, stable environment that fosters both healing and growth. In addition to childcare, I offer full home and property care. I ensure that homes are clean, organized, and secure, plants and pets are tended to, and daily routines continue without interruption. Whether you’re traveling, managing multiple residences, or just need an extra pair of hands, I bring a sense of order, warmth, and trustworthiness to every household I assist. My background includes experience in education, family support, and property management. Families describe me as attentive, resourceful, and kind-hearted — someone who treats their home and loved ones as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable with scheduling, errands, meal preparation, and light housekeeping, ensuring that the home environment is peaceful and welcoming. Whether you need help caring for your children, overseeing your property, or simply bringing calm and reliability into your home, I am here to help with a professional yet personal touch.
