Experienced, Multicultural Babysitter | CPR Certified, Fun, and Ready to Support Your Family!

Hello! My name is Kenza Masterson, and I’m excited to introduce myself as your next favorite babysitter!

I was born and raised in beautiful Morocco and moved to the United States when I was 14. Growing up with a blend of cultures has given me a unique perspective, and I love sharing my experiences with the kids I care for. With two years of babysitting experience across different parts of the world, I’ve had the joy of working with children of various ages and backgrounds, making each day special and fun.

What truly sets me apart is my love for engaging with children in creative and educational ways. Whether it's crafting, storytelling, or outdoor adventures, I ensure your little ones are entertained while also learning. I’m CPR trained, a great swimmer, and I know how to cook delicious meals that even picky eaters enjoy! Plus, I can help with household chores like laundry, errands, and tutoring in French, Arabic, Math, Science, English, and more!

I’m dedicated to adapting to your family’s specific needs, so your children are in the best hands possible. And if you have pets, that’s just a bonus—I adore animals and will happily care for them as well. With my own car, I can also assist with transportation whenever necessary.

I look forward to meeting your family and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your children!
