$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kylie and I am currently a freshman at SCF for nursing! I am offering childcare, animal care, senior care, and household services. I am wanting to get into babysitting and am using this as my first step. We all have to start somewhere right?? I have no babysat for a family unknown but have babysat my nieces and nephews as well as neighbors children. I sometimes clean houses on the side, and can run errands as well. I am comfortable with senior care, as I have taken care of my grandparents from time to time. I also am very comfortable with animals as I have many of my own. I can drive to appointments, run errands or other tasks if needed.

I am a dedicated and compassionate person with a genuine passion for caring for others. I grew up in a close-knit household raised by one parent alongside my grandparents, which taught me from a young age the importance of patience, responsibility, empathy, and caring for loved ones. That upbringing inspired my passion for helping others and continues to shape the way I provide care today. I have experience delivering compassionate, personalized in-home care, ensuring clients feel comfortable, safe, and respected in their own homes. I assist with personal hygiene, cleaning, and daily household tasks while offering emotional support and companionship. I enjoy working with people and building trusting relationships with clients and their families. I am dependable, attentive, and kind, and I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel valued, understood, and well cared for.
