Hello parents! 😁 I’m a proud mother of five children, three ladies and two fellas, ages 20 to 28. In 2022, I became a Grammy to each a girl and a boy and another grandson came along in 2024. Twelve years ago, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and have over seven years of teaching experience in public education at both the high school and middle school levels. In my early years of motherhood, I operated in-home daycares for infants to pre-school aged children. I have taught and assisted many times in church Sunday School classes (nursery to high school) and have led and assisted with Vacation Bible School (nursery to high school). I have also led and assisted with youth groups and activities to include attending week-long summer camps and weekend retreats. I’m a divorcee of a retired serviceman. For those military families reviewing my profile, I’m very familiar with life in the military and the challenges that are presented along the journey. Thank you for your dedication and service! Needless to say, I have a genuine love for children of all ages and enjoy teaching and nurturing them; helping each one grow and learn to be the unique person they are created to be. Activities I take pleasure in are walking, reading, crafting, healthy eating, spending time in the kitchen and listening to music (dancing to the music, as well, even if someone is watching!). These are also some of the things I like to do with children, and of course, encouraging them to find and pursue their own interests and participating along with them. Life is certainly meant to be enjoyed, but there are times the fun might need to wait. You can be assured that your children will be accountable for their personal responsibilities (when applicable) like chores and homework (which I’m more than willing to assist), but who says these things can’t be fun? It’s all about perspective and that’s what I hope to instill in your children should you give me the opportunity. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my profile!

We adore Karla and have had the best experience with her. I have a 18 month old and Karla has worked for us for almost a year now. She is so sweet with her and i feel like she just understands babies and kids so well. Shes never distracted and is always attentive to Reese, which was something I really was looking for in a nanny. She has been flexible with our schedule and is always reliable. I would recommend her over and over again. She feels like family for us.

I cannot say enough good things about her. Finding someone you truly trust with your children—especially when you have a mix of needs—is not easy, but she has exceeded every expectation I had. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely caring with all of my children. My neurotypical kids absolutely adore her and constantly rave about how much fun they have when she’s around. My daughters especially love her and are always excited when they know she’s coming, and my toddler son is comfortable and happy in her care. What means the most to me, though, is how she shows up for my autistic daughter. She is calm, understanding, and meets her exactly where she is. There is a level of patience and compassion she brings that you simply cannot teach—and it truly shows in how comfortable and happy my daughter is with her. My autistic daughter is genuinely happy when she’s here, and that peace of mind is everything as a parent. She is reliable, communicative, and brings such a positive, warm energy into our home. I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in her care. She doesn’t just “watch” them—she connects with them, supports them, and creates a safe, happy environment. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your children as if they were her own, she is truly a gem.

Hello! I’m an experienced babysitter with nearly five years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants through school-aged children and am confident managing routines, meal prep, light housekeeping, and bedtime. I’m calm under pressure, attentive, speak Spanish, and focused on maintaining a safe, structured, and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for children with different needs, including ADHD, autism, and nonverbal children. I understand the importance of patience, structure, and clear communication, and I always take the time to learn what works best for each child. Whether that means following specific routines, using visual or nonverbal cues, supporting sensory needs, or helping with focus and emotional regulation, I strive to create a safe, understanding, and supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and valued, and I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy for the families I work with.

Hello my name is Keturah! I have experience with kids, including babysitting for friends, family, and coworkers but I am also a daycare teacher of 3 years and I have 16 certificates from Better kid care. I have worked with children in classroom-like settings from when I was in school as a teachers aide for kindergarten to now being a Lead Daycare Teacher. I enjoy it so much seeing them succeed with even the little things like seeing their happiness when they take their first steps to being able to trace their numbers is amazing. I have cared for children as young as 1 month up to 10 years of age. I enjoy encouraging kids to be creative with stimulating activities such as painting, coloring, reading, and exploring outside!

Tynesia was on-time for her face to face interview. She also has been on-time every morning for the job. She is very friendly and caring for my son like he is her own or a family member. My son really likes her and I'm grateful for her.
