I am currently a high school student. I enjoy baking and spending time with children. While I have not officially babysat other families’ children yet, I have experience caring for and helping raise my younger sibling. This has taught me to be responsible, patient, attentive, and dependable when caring for children.
Hi! My name is Kaili, and I’m an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with plenty of hands-on experience caring for young children. As a middle child in a big family of seven siblings, I’ve spent years helping look after my little brother and sister—now ages 8 and 14—since they were very young. Growing up in a large family has given me a unique understanding of what it means to work together, be adaptable, and support those around me.
I’m passionate about helping families and truly enjoy making a positive difference in children’s lives. Whether you need help with after-school care, evenings, or weekends, I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring babysitting. Let’s connect!

I am a recent high school graduate, having completed my studies in May 2025 with 25 credits. As the oldest of seven siblings, I have developed strong leadership and caregiving skills. Throughout my teen years, I have been deeply involved in caring for my younger brother and sister, who are now 8 and 14 years old. Watching them grow and supporting their development since they were very young has been a rewarding and formative part of my life.
Growing up in a large family has taught me responsibility, patience, and the value of teamwork. Balancing academic achievements with family duties has shaped me into a determined and adaptable individual, ready to take on new challenges and continue learning beyond high school.
