Hello, my name is Kayla and I am a student at The Ivy Institute of Esthetics. I am offering child and pet care. I currently work at a daycare and would like to provide care during my free time. I have also tutored kids kindergarten through second grade. I do have experience with taking care of pets as well.
“Kayla did great with our 2 y/o daughter! She is reliable, flexible, and punctual. Her approach is very soft spoken and gentle. She’s reserved but you can feel her calm, patient presence. My little one quickly became comfortable with her and that stood out. We will be booking as a recurring family! ”
