Hi! My name is Kayla and I’m 23, and I have over three years of experience working with children in school settings. During that time, I supported students with learning, behavior, and social development, which helped me build strong patience, communication skills, and a nurturing approach with kids of all personalities. Outside of the classroom, I’ve also babysat for friends and families, caring for children from infants to pre-teens. I’m known for being gentle, dependable, and very attentive to children’s needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported, comfortable, and able to be themselves. I have reliable transportation and am very dependable when it comes to schedules and communication with parents. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, preparing simple meals, or keeping a consistent routine, I’m happy to support families in whatever way helps their day run smoothly. Working with children is something I’m genuinely passionate about, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust and kids feel comfortable around. I am CPR, and First Aid Certified

My name is Hareer Mujaddidi! I have been a babysitter since I was about the age of 13, starting off with my neighbors children, a family of 7 kids, including newborn twins, and the oldest child was 9 years of age! I have always been great with children, I enjoy spending time with them, teaching them, allowing them to grow and learn. I have babysit for plenty of families, very diverse, and very different families. Some families were gluten free, ate only organic, worked from home, raised their children a certain way, religious, not religious, no electronics, or free-spirited and laid back, etc. I not only am an adult with the children, but I also play and act sort of their age or interact with them like they are adults, there has always been a mutual respect with the children I have babysat and in many cases the parents are quite shocked at how well they are with me. I am hoping to pursue a career in child psychology or behavior analysis! I have worked in day care centers and child care volunteer programs. My life has pretty much been revolves around children, toddlers, and infants and I wouldn’t want it to be any different!

Hi! My name is Claudia, and I’ve spent the last few years working with kids of all ages in different settings — from one-on-one support to group activities. I really enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. I worked for a year in ABA therapy, where I supported children with different learning and behavioral needs. That experience taught me a lot about patience, communication, and how to create a structured but caring space where kids can thrive. Right now, I’m working as an after-school instructor for K–8 students, leading activities, helping with homework, and keeping everyone engaged and safe. It’s given me great experience managing groups of kids and balancing structure with fun — whether we’re working on projects, playing games, or just winding down after a long school day. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always a top priority for me. I know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their children in good hands. Overall, I love working with kids and helping them feel supported, understood, and encouraged. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can trust, I always bring patience, kindness, and energy to what I do.

I love working with children to build those stepping stones of learning. To help nurture and help them grow, watching as their minds explore endless possibilities and help guide them along that path. I believe children are our future and to help them anyway I can is what makes me a loving, good teacher. I have been a preschool teacher for the last 18 years working with infants to age 5.

Caring for others has always been more than a job to me—it’s a passion and a calling. From a very young age, I naturally stepped into caregiving roles by helping raise and care for younger children in my family. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment where others can thrive. With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, pets, and supporting busy households, I’ve developed a well-rounded skill set that allows me to confidently adapt to each family’s unique needs. I am CPR certified and a Certified Personal Trainer, with experience caring for older adults, individuals with varying care needs, and children of different ages. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, helping with homework, engaging children in fun and educational activities, maintaining a clean and organized home, providing companionship, or assisting with daily routines, I approach every responsibility with patience, kindness, and genuine care. As a proud dog owner myself, I understand that pets are cherished members of the family too. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and other pets, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. Families often describe me as dependable, nurturing, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with. I believe every child deserves to feel encouraged, every senior deserves dignity and compassion, every pet deserves love, and every family deserves peace of mind. My goal is to become someone you can truly rely on—someone who will care for your loved ones and your home with the same level of respect, attention, and dedication that I would give my own family. I would be honored to be a positive, dependable presence in your home and help make your everyday life a little easier.
