Hi my name is Perla and I am a single mom that is going back to school to obtain a speech and language pathology certification. My bachelors degree is in child and adolescent development. I am pet friendly and have pets of my own and am excited to work with families while my kiddos are at school. My kiddos are 6 and 8 so I have plenty of first hand experience as well. I am also a native Spanish speaker. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
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.

I am CPR and first aide certified, have taken safe sleep trainings, took many college courses on early childhood development and education and many other trainings throughout my years of working with kiddos. I love to be very creative and active when it comes to working with kids and spend all the time I can outside. I love a hands on, learn through play approach and try to find a small lesson in everything I do. I’d love to chat more and see if I would be a good fit for your family!
