Hello! I grew up in the Chicagoland area, but in 2015 I made the big move west to Los Angeles! I work as a production assistant after getting my film degree at Columbia College Chicago, and I love babysitting to fill up my time when I'm not busy with a production! *currently only interested in newborn/infant/baby clients at this time! Trying to keep it extra safe. ****I require all in the families I sit for who are eligible to be vaccinated and extremely covid conscious! ****I have a four hour minimum on weekdays unless you are a regular family of mine and we have discussed it previously. *****I also have a policy of being paid for the entire time I'm booked. Thank you! I have a range of experience with children. I started off mother's helping, then grew to have many families I regularly babysat as they grew up! I've also handled many children working at Vacation Bible School, and I worked for about a year and a half at a preschool. I have also been a full time au pair in Spain for two children. On set I’m often in care of minors, aiding the school teacher in the safety and care of the kids. Children teach me so much about patience, understanding, creativity, and being open-minded - things that I feel I often lose when living in such a fast-paced city area with people only my age. I always look forward to seeing children grow in even the little ways of life. I consider myself very energetic and enthusiastic, so children are often a perfect fit to my overall temperament. I'm also very calm and patient, so I stay level-headed in crazy situations. I am very eager to hear from all of you and meet you and your children!

Hi, I'm a dedicated childcare professional, preschool teacher, and proud mom who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. Families describe me as kind, dependable, communicative, and easy to work with. I believe strong relationships with both children and parents are built on trust, transparency, and open communication, and those are values I bring to every family I work with. I have a background in psychology and hold two Associate degrees in Child Development with concentrations in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. My experience includes working as a preschool teacher, babysitter, nanny, and mother, giving me a well-rounded understanding of children's developmental, emotional, and educational needs. I'm an outdoorsy, creative, and affectionate caregiver who loves singing, dancing, reading stories, making art, and turning everyday moments into fun learning opportunities. I enjoy following children's interests while creating routines that help them feel secure, confident, and engaged. Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother worked as a nanny in different parts of the world, and I was fortunate to grow up alongside the families she cared for. Watching her taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and building meaningful connections with children and parents alike. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clear background check and fingerprint clearance, and am committed to providing the highest level of care. Whether you need occasional support or a long-term caregiver, I would love the opportunity to be a trusted, nurturing presence in your child's life. I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Kimberly was an incredible babysitter for our son Van! From the moment we connected, she was kind, caring, and professional. She kept us updated throughout the evening with thoughtful texts and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares and is passionate about what she does. Van was comfortable and happy with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kimberly is everything we were hoping for in a sitter—and more. We will absolutely be using her again (and again)!”
