We absolutely love Keaira! My family moved here from Montana in October and have hired Keaira to watch our kids at various times for various situations. She's very good with the kids. They thoroughly enjoyed her. Keaira engaged them the entire time and gave them healthy snacks. The only problem was that both my kids cried when she had to go for an hour because they just love her so much. I highly recommend Keaira as a sitter. Amalia

Keaira has been such a blessing for our family. I needed to find someone last minute to help out with the kids before school and she was exactly who I was looking for. She is reliable and great with the kids. She is very hands on, either reading them books, playing games, taking them to the playground....she keeps them entertained. I can't say enough wonderful things about her.

We have used Keaira about 4 times now to care for our 5 month old son when our primary babysitter was not available. She is responsible, punctual, respectful, and caring. She follows directions to a T and makes sure to do everything I request of her (tummy time, washing bottles, feeding on a schedule, etc.). Keaira is very knowledgeable about young babies. I really enjoy having her watch my son because I know she will do everything to the best of her ability.

Kearia is really great! She has taken care of my 16 month old son a few times and is always prompt, friendly, and professional. I love that she sends her schedule for the month so I know if she will be available the times I need her.

Keaira is an excellent babysitter! She is reliable, prompt, energetic, and productive with her time. She quickly established a rapport with my child, and we are very pleased with her.

My husband and I had an incident with our previous caregiver and needed to find a part time nanny for our 7 month old daughter immediately. Keaira offered to interview the very next day (on a holiday!) and was able to start the same week. Our daughter was instantly smiling and reaching for Keaira and even our cat and dog were trying to climb on her lap. Keaira has been extremely flexible and patient and we plan to use her on a long term basis. Keaira is very diligent following our schedule and engages our daughter with developmental activities. We are very lucky to have found her and I highly recommend her as a nanny/sitter.

Keaira not only agreed to sit for us last minute but also met to interview within a days time. She was very attentive to my son and followed all of our schedule. :) My son keeps talking about her & we plan on utilizing her on a long term basis.

Keaira watched my 2.5 year old for me while I was on a work call. I was impressed with her maturity and ability to handle my little guy. He was just waking from a nap when she arrived, and was not at all thrilled to being left with someone new while mommy worked. She handled his mini-meltdown gracefully, and I could hear his crying turn into sounds of happy giggles after just a few minutes. The giggling continued for the remainder of their time together, and when she left it was clear he had a new friend. I would definately recommend Keaira to others and happily use her again.
