Lai’nyia Mathews | Reliable Teen Babysitter & Young Entrepreneur | Jacksonville, FL
Hi! I’m Lai’nyia Mathews, a responsible and energetic 17-year-old based in Jacksonville, FL. With over three years of hands-on experience caring for children from infants to pre-teens, I’ve become the go-to babysitter for families in my community. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and great at keeping kids happy, safe, and entertained. Alongside childcare, I run my own successful home baking business, where I whip up everything from custom cakes to holiday treats. Whether it’s helping out around the house, preparing meals, or making sure bedtime goes smoothly, I bring a positive attitude and strong work ethic to everything I do. I’m currently looking for part-time or volunteer opportunities where I can continue helping families and growing my skills.
