Meet Akela
- Comfortable with pets
Hi! My name is Akela and I still consider myself a child at heart. I'm clinical nutrition/business student transferring from Norcal back to my roots in sunny SoCal. When I'm not studying, I enjoy spending time outdoors (hiking and backpacking), volunteering, doing yoga, or reading. I love kids and have been babysitting/nannying for about 7 years starting with taking care of my younger brother and cousins to neighbors and local families. I also love dogs and cats and am open to taking care of any family pets. I'm also experienced in housesitting for when families are out of town on vacation. The majority of kids I've cared for fall in the 2-7 age range, and I can handle 4 kids at a time comfortably. A typical day of babysitting for me tends to include arts and crafts, spending a lot time outside playing or taking any pets for a walk, Read more planning scavenger hunts or obstacle courses for kids, and meal prepping snacks for kids. I'm a big believer in direct conflict resolution when it comes to fights between siblings or friends at playdates and I have experience helping kids resolve their arguments. Please reach out to me if you any questions! :)

Akela is great! warm, grounded, kind, smart and was excellent with our 20 month old who bonded with her lovely, playful, respectful way of connecting with her quite quickly. Akela is punctual, a good communicator, and easy going.
