Hello, my name is Kaihla! I am 20 years old and am currently going to college at Providence Baptist College to be an Elementary Teacher. I have been a nanny for 2 years now though I had constant jobs throughout high school where I babysat for date nights or just for the day. My last nanny job I had for almost 2 years and had to leave because the 2 girls are old enough to take care of themselves (12 and 14). Also ever night, for my last nanny family, I made the dinner recipe she would email me and all her recipes were from scratch. I also did grocery shopping for them. I also am an aunt, one on the way and the other is 1.5, and have spent many days watching my niece and I love the age from newborn all the way through those developmental years because Read more of what a fun and interactive age! I am not one of those nanny's who thinks the TV should do most the watching, I believe in lots of interaction: books, games, activities, experiments (all age appropriate). I also spent a summer working at a house cleaning business and believe in the philosophy that I should leave the house cleaner than when I arrived! My last day of classes is May 15th so the earliest i would be able to start is May 18th. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I hope you find the best fit for your family!
