Hi families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.

“Kaysia is calm, protective, professional and sweet person who came in and care for our newborn as if she known us for a long time. Hard days or good days, she showed up and will get it done so I can work and keep my little one close to me during the precious time. Booking her if you want someone care for the kids as her own. Ans she stays calm even on the chaotic days! Thank you Kaysia!”
