My childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over ten years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.

I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.

I am comfortable caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to those around 11 years old. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I can also incorporate language learning into our activities. I am comfortable with pets, and I look forward to bringing you confidence of childcare to your family.

Hi! I’m Kira, a dependable and caring sitter with professional experience working with children of a variety of ages and needs. I’m currently a graduate student in Applied Behavior Analysis and work in pediatric ABA, where I support children with communication, social skills, play, routines, and daily activities. I’m especially comfortable with little ones and really enjoy working with children ages 3–6. I love creating fun and whimsical activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, playing games, reading, imaginative play, or simply joining in on whatever your child is excited about. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves. I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, simple meals, bedtime routines, and cleanup. I’m also comfortable following individual routines and instructions from parents, and I’m CPR certified. My goal is always for children to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely have a good time while they’re with me. I’m responsible, communicative, and will treat your home and your family with the same respect I’d want for my own.
