Hi, I’m Kaci! I offer babysitting for kids of all ages and senior care/companionship. I currently work remote full time but am available weekday late afternoon/evenings and any time on weekends. I have three years experience as a full-time nanny for three kids under four and I miss it so much! We spent most days exploring fun parks, visiting museums, doing arts and crafts, baking, and more. I also have several years of senior care experience, having worked as a medical assistant and a companion for Papa Pal, helping with appointments, walks, and daily tasks.

I have always loved kids and worked as a lifeguard and swim teacher for toddlers - 12 year olds before becoming a nanny, I’ve been helping with my younger siblings as well since they were born. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins). My responsibilities include driving to and from school/activities, crafts, tutoring/help with homework, and making sure your kids are safe and have fun! I am CPR and first aid trained, and took childhood development and health science courses throughout high school. I offer household services as well, I can cook, clean, run errands, or provide help wherever necessary. I love animals and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, cats, and have experience caring for geckos and frogs as well.

"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."
