Hil I'm Kayden, and I'm an 18-year-old sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I've been babysitting for a couple of families in my neighborhood over the past few years, mostly on weekdays after school or in the evenings. I love being a sitter because kids make everything more fun! They're creative, silly, and always surprising. I like being someone they feel comfartable with and someone parents can rely on. ———————— My Experience: I've helped care for toddlers and school-age kids, doing things like homework help, simple meals, playing games, and keeping them entertained. I also help with light house cleaning and pet care. At hame, I take care of two F4 Savannah cats (very energetic and wild-natured) and two fabby cats, so I'm used to feeding, playing, and handling pets with different temperaments. This makes me comfortable with families who have pets and need someone who can manage both kids and animals at the same time. Outside of babysitting, I help my mom, Danielle Schury, who's a wedding photographer. I assist during sessions, especially when kids are involved - helping them smile, stay calm, or feel comfortable in front of the camera. It's taught me patience, communication, and how to handle different personalities. ————————— Skills & Training: I'm planning to take CPR classes soon and will be getting my CPR certification. I also have some technical skills, like Adobe Photoshop, since I help my mom edit photos. ————————————— Other strengths I bring: • Creative engagement - drawing, crafts, games, and fun activities • Clear communication - I keep parents updated and ask questions when needed • Pet-friendly care - experienced with high-energy breeds and calm household pets • Reliable routines - I follow instructions carefully and keep safety first ———————————————————— Why Families Like Working With Me: I'm responsible, respectful, and easy to talk to • I stay calm and patient, even with energetic or shy kids • I'm dependable and always show up on time I'm creative and bring a fun, friendly vibe • I'm available weekdays only, which helps me stay consistent • I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds, including high-energy cats I'd love to help a family who needs a trustworthy weekday sitter. I'm excited to meet new families and make their days a little easier.
