About Kayla

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm a passionate, dedicated childcare provider with extensive experience supporting children of all ages and abilities in various settings. I've worked in schools, homes, and clinical environments as a nanny, babysitter, mommy's helper, teacher's assistant, and behavior specialist. I bring a calm, compassionate, and playful approach to every child I support. Kids bring out my inner child-imaginative, messy, silly-goofy play is my specialty! I meet children and families where they are, whether that means consistent nanny care, after-school support, or help with behavioral challenges. I love creating interactive games and tools that keep kids engaged while teaching valuable, everyday leasons. *Availability beginning October 1st (moving from Sacramento) Rates: Baseline: $35/hr Each additional child: +$3/hr Extra duties: +$1/hr I'm happy to discuss your family's unique needs and may adjust accordingly. Excited to connect with you!

Kayla joined our family when my son was just a week old. Kayla helped me and my son get through the tough mornings. She came on time, always wore a face mask as we had requested, and diligently took care of all her tasks. I had to never worry. Kayla read books to my son, gave him bath, fed him with care, and then helped me with cleaning once the baby was sleeping. I have known Kayla as a hard working UC Davis student who really cared about the well being of babies and kids. I will hoghly recommend her!
