Hi! My name is Jayti, and I’m a 25-year-old student and Behavioral Technician with over 6 years of experience working with children on the spectrum and 3 years as a daycare teacher caring for little ones ages 1 to 5 years old. I absolutely love working with kids, I’m naturally bubbly, patient, and fun, and I enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment where children can learn and laugh. I’ve worked with children from 1 to 12 years old, including those with developmental differences, and I always tailor my care to meet each child’s unique needs.

We had a great experience with Jayti, who cared for our two children for a full week. She was reliable, punctual, and handled daily responsibilities smoothly, including picking them up from school, preparing meals, and getting them ready for bed each evening. She was calm, attentive, and engaging with the kids, which helped them feel comfortable and well cared for right away. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt confident that our children were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and we are looking forward to working with her again.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

Ayesha watched our 1-yr old daughter in our hotel room while we were traveling from out-of-town for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with - which really helped boost our confidence in booking a babysitter in another town. She even brought extra toys with her to entertain our daughter - which was very much appreciated! We certainly recommend Ayesha!

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.
