I am a substitute teacher, I travel to different child care centers within Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens caring for children infant-school age. I have been with the company a little over six years now and absolutely love my job and each of my students. I am also a behavioral therapist. I have two cases working with young boys with Autism on behavioral goals at their homes. I hold a bachelors degree in behavioral science and am working toward a Masters degree in Special Education.

Nakayla is a fantastic person who took my daughter to school for many months until the school year ended. I highly recommend her to everyone looking for an honest reliable sitter.

Nakayla worked as a part-time sitter for me for 8 months. Her duties included picking my sons up at school and driving them to after school activities, or meeting the school bus and helping with homework, feeding them after school, etc. Nakayla was dependable and easy to communicate with - I highly recommend her!

Nakayla is a great individual who I will be requesting real soon again. Very reasonable when it comes to pricing, reliable she dealt with my three year old son who’s on the spectrum and is non-verbal but communicates lovely when with her. I LOVE HER ENERGY!! Definitely came when I needed her the most I’m glad she came just in time cause I’m not LETTING HER GO!!
