My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.

Hello! My name is Genessis, Genny for short! I speak English and Spanish. I can help with homework for kids, I have been told I would make a great teacher although that is not what I am currently perusing as a career. I have no problem babysitting teens. I grew up as the oldest of 6 so I was constantly babysitting for my parents. I dont have too much experience with infants but I am confident in my ability to babysit them as well as toddlers to teens even older teens too. I have been told by my family and friends and my own siblings that I have a lot of patience. I like kids and I like taking care of them and from my experience kids tend to gravitate towards me. I am never opposed to playing games with or talking about the little things that they are into, I love all kinds of kid movies and shows, and I am very much used to hearing the same show or song or movie on repeat so can be very enjoyable and fun to be around for the little ones. I also have experience taking care of pets, specifically dogs and cats. Although I do not mind learning about how to take care of other pets as well, I love most animals and I am not afraid of most animals or insects either. I am currently attending college so my schedule is a little bit weird. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day of course. Mondays and Wednesdays, I would be available from around 2pm to 11pm. Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays I will not be available until around 6pm to 11pm. I will be commuting to and from on the bus, I will always do my very best to be as early as possible to avoid being late. Of course there will sometimes be delays with the bus and all. If that occurs I will absolutely taking initiative to stay in contact if it does come down to that to let you know about my eta even if I am not late I would too. Depending on the day and time I will be sitting for you I might have to also do my own homework and assignments, it will not affect my ability to be sitting for you because that is my own responsibility just as babysitting for you will be my responsibility. However, I would just like you to keep in mind that you may find me bringing my laptop to complete my schoolwork especially since I do have online classes that require only fully online class work. I am happy to help out, clean, cook (although I only know a few dishes), and simply take care of the kiddos or pets and I cant wait to start babysitting and/or petsitting! :)

“Kay is amazing with our 9 month old boy and 4 year old girl. She is knowledgeable about everything baby related including baby led weaning, sleep training and developmental milestones. We trust her wholeheartedly with our kids. She is always on the floor with our baby helping him with his development, reading him books, singing to him, etc. She is always on the go, walking him to the park and proactively organizing play dates with other babies his age. She is very respectful of our home, keeping play and kitchen areas tidy. We highly recommend Kay and think any family would be lucky to have her care for their kids.”
