Hi! My name is Kylie, and I am an elementary school teacher with several years of experience working with children. I have experience in both daycare and nannying, and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages! Throughout my childcare experience, I have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained and engaged through crafts, games, outdoor activities, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, bedtime routines, transportation, and other childcare needs.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"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."
