I'd describe my personality as creative, thoughtful and patient. I like working with kids because they're so creative & imaginative. I love being able to find my inner child to come down to their level and create with them. Connecting with children is so special and such a unique experience. I've worked with kids since I was 12 years old, though I have professionally cared for kiddos for 6 years. I love all stages of early development but early years are my favorite. In my spare time, I like to cook, bake, craft, read, journal and explore. You should know about me is I'm shy but I open up quick. I'm a very detail oriented and meticulous person. I worked for a large hotel from 2017 to 2019. Whereas, after leaving I still maintained cleaning services by switching to housekeeping & maid servicing for 3 years. My husband and I moved to the Michigan in 2022 but will be returning to our hometown of Portland in Spring of 2026.
From the very beginning, it was clear that Kaity was not only reliable and capable, but genuinely invested in the well-being of my family. While her primary role was childcare, she consistently went above and beyond what was expected. She assisted with transportation, helped maintain the household through cleaning and organization, and always did so with a positive attitude and strong sense of responsibility. She was dependable, flexible, and trustworthy, and I always felt confident knowing my child and home were in her care. What truly set her apart, however, was the relationship she built with my family. She became more than just a babysitter — she became a trusted support and a valued presence in our lives. Her warmth, maturity, and kindness made a lasting impression on both my child and myself, and her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care is a rare quality. Kaity is truly a gem, and any family or employer would be fortunate to have her. I recommend her without reservation.
