We are so grateful to have had Nakayla as a caregiver to our baby girl when she was 5 - 9 months old and we were navigating life as first time parents. We were totally overwhelmed with finding a nanny and when Nakayla arrived at our house I immediately felt at ease and our baby acted as if she already knew her. Nakayla is highly experienced on paper and has all the right certifications but also brings a calm confident energy that children gravitate to. She took amazing care of our baby and did different activities with her constantly, played music, read books, and went outside whenever possible. She constantly kept her engaged and entertained. Our baby girl changed so much through these months with transitioning to solids, sleep training, and starting to crawl. I often sent very long instructions to Nakayla about the next change in routine or how we’re addressing the latest challenge and she always followed them to a T and also brought any observations of her own to us. She was very reliable and always on time. We will miss her greatly. Any family that has the pleasure of working with her is very lucky.

Nakayla is a fantastic person who took my daughter to school for many months until the school year ended. I highly recommend her to everyone looking for an honest reliable sitter.

Nakayla worked as a part-time sitter for me for 8 months. Her duties included picking my sons up at school and driving them to after school activities, or meeting the school bus and helping with homework, feeding them after school, etc. Nakayla was dependable and easy to communicate with - I highly recommend her!

Nakayla is a great individual who I will be requesting real soon again. Very reasonable when it comes to pricing, reliable she dealt with my three year old son who’s on the spectrum and is non-verbal but communicates lovely when with her. I LOVE HER ENERGY!! Definitely came when I needed her the most I’m glad she came just in time cause I’m not LETTING HER GO!!
