Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every Read more interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

Kayla is an exceptional sitter. She pays very close attention to details and doesn’t let anything slip through the cracks. She’s very well organized, friendly and fun (from the kiddos). There is not a worry in my mind, I can go about my day knowing that my kids are in good hands. Kayla I well-versed with kids of all ages. I’m very proud to call Kayla one of my best sitters. Book her for your needs but leave some availability for me too!

We had a wonderful experience with Kayla! She was reliable and instantly connected with our child. She kept everything clean and organized, followed our instructions perfectly, and even went above and beyond to keep our little one engaged and happy. We felt completely at ease knowing our child was in such great hands. Highly recommend!

Kayl-Rose was an absolute godsend during my weekend night shifts. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve managed without her during a time of being a single mom.. She took care of my 2-year-old son, Liam, Friday through Sunday afternoons, often staying from 7:30 PM until 1:30 or even 2 AM. Despite the late hours, she was always cheerful, dependable, and ready to give Liam all the attention he needed. He lit up when she arrived, which made me feel at ease heading off to work. I made sure to compensate her well because her time and dedication were genuinely appreciated. There’s something about Kayla that just clicks with little ones: she’s playful but also soothing, and I could tell Liam felt safe with her. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat! She’s more just overall amazing.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Kayla! She babysat my two daughters, ages 3 and 7, and from the moment she stepped into our lives, everything felt brighter. Her energy is absolutely amazing she brings positivity into every interaction and the girls fell in love with her instantly. What truly sets her apart is the beautiful sense of order she brings, inspired by her St. Lucian upbringing. She introduced us to the magic of timers, structured schedules, and intentional routines, which have completely transformed our home. I had never used schedules before, but after seeing how smoothly things ran under her guidance, I became a total believer. Her commitment to learning is another gem. Kayla would set up these 30-minute learning session for the girls, and made learning feel fun, not forced. Her experience caring for her younger siblings has clearly given her incredible instincts, patience, and the ability to truly connect with children on their level. I honestly feel like she became part of our family. She’s the kind of babysitter who doesn’t just show up but she leaves a lasting impact. We miss her terribly and can’t wait for her to return to Connecticut. Until then, we’re counting down the days. Anyone lucky enough to work with Kayla is in for something really special. She’s not just a babysitter, she’s a joy, a mentor, and a light in any child’s life.
