Booked by 5 families in Westminster, MD

My name is Kyra! I'm 24 years old and have lived in Maryland my whole life. I have been a full time nanny to children ages 3 months - 15 years for 5 years. I have handled a plethora of special situations including severe allergies, diabetes, G-Tube feedings , physical disabilities as well as ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. Transportation will be a no issue as I own my vehicle and have maintained a clean driving record for close to 6 years. In addition to this I am CPR, first aid and AED resuscitation certified. Over 2 years of overnight nannying experience. I love music, reading and anything colorful so I incorporate that into my work whenever I can ! I'm very comfortable with animals and have been living in a multiple pet household for most of my life which has included cats, dogs and those of the rodent family; I want to ensure all of your "babies" are tended too . Hoping to find a long term commitment at least a year or more. Thank you !
