This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 8 yrs
I'm a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a passion for creating a nurturing environment for children. With over eight years of experience, I've worked as a nanny and in toddler care, where I eventually managed a branch of the program. My friendly and empathetic nature allows me to connect with children easily, encouraging them to express themselves creatively and explore their imaginations. I believe in open communication with parents and keep them informed about their child's day, handling any issues calmly and promptly. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules with an understanding of the family's values and the reasoning behind the rules. From educational games to outdoor adventures, I enjoy a variety of activities with children, prioritizing screen-free experiences that foster creativity and connection. I hold a college degree and was a student leader on my university campus. I have completed CPR training for my past roles and can become certified again.

We have have been blessed with dozens of caregivers and sitters over the past years but Kia is by far the most reliable, safe, and fun caregiver we’ve had. We moved across the country and actually flew her out to be with our kids while we went on a trip. She is individually attuned to each child and knows them well. She also cares to keep our normals intact while we are gone: keeps our schedule, honors our food choices etc. She is creative and empowering with the kids and would bake with them, create with them, they even did lemonade stands etc. Kia kept the environment of our home peaceful and clean and it felt like there was never any whiplash in transitioning back into the home. I can’t recommend her enough!
