Hello, my name is Kambri!
I am 17 years old and currently a junior in high school. As a responsible and caring teenager, I have a genuine love for working with children. I bring energy, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to every babysitting job.

Hi! My name is Dariya, and I’m 16 years old, turning 17 soon. I currently attend Vashon High School and get out at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for babysitting. I’m a fun, caring, and creative person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and helping them feel comfortable and happy.
In my free time, I love to sing, dance, do hair, and read. I’m also very active in my faith—I go to church regularly, enjoy reading my Bible, and spending time in prayer. These parts of my life have helped shape me into a patient, kind, and responsible person.
I enjoy building connections, staying active, and creating a positive environment wherever I am. There’s so much more to me, so if there’s anything you’d like to know, feel free to ask!

I am a responsible and dependable babysitter with experience caring for children of various ages. I have developed strong skills in supervising, engaging, and ensuring a safe and positive environment for kids. My experience includes helping with homework, preparing simple meals, organizing activities, and maintaining routines such as bedtime and hygiene.
In place of formal training, I have gained valuable hands-on experience through regularly caring for younger siblings, relatives, and family friends. This has helped me build strong problem-solving skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to different children’s needs and personalities. I am also comfortable managing multiple tasks at once while staying attentive to safety and well-being.
In addition to my experience, I am organized, punctual, and committed to providing reliable care. I take pride in creating a fun, supportive, and safe atmosphere where children can feel comfortable and parents can feel confident in my abilities.
