Hi there! My name is Kayla and I am a recent Master's graduate from UC San Diego looking for side work to supplement my income. I have experience taking care of my cousins, creating an engaging and safe environment. I am kind, attentive, and so happy to be the help your family needs. I am First Aid certified and have my own car so helping with drop off/pickups is no problem. My degree is in geotechnical engineering and so I am happy to offer afterschool care, including homework help! Please do not hesitate to reach out with more questions or if you would like to set up a call.
In addition, I have two pets of my own, so I am more than willing to help your family care for furry friends.
Hi! I’m 18 years old and have a genuine passion for working with children. My babysitting journey started at age 13, when I began caring for my mom’s friends' kids. What started as helping out people close to me quickly blossomed into a true love for childcare.
Over the years, my experience has expanded far beyond those first neighborhood families. Through platforms like Bambino and connecting with many wonderful random families, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and caring for kids of all ages and backgrounds. Adapting to new environments and quickly building trust with children and parents is something I truly enjoy.
Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative arts and crafts, organizing fun games, or making sure bedtime goes smoothly, I love being a trusted, positive presence in kids' lives. For me, babysitting isn’t just a job—it’s a wonderful opportunity to build meaningful connections, spark imagination, and give parents total peace of mind while they are away.
