About Kira
Experience: 8 yrs
I am passionate about caring for infants and babies compassionately and intuitively. I have over 2 years of recent & full time experience with this age range, first caring for a child starting from infancy (3 months old) to 16 months old. Then I began again with another family, watching their 6-month-old baby for a year and a half until she was 2 years old. I have experience with bottle feeding, sleep and wake cycles, bathing/changing, swaddling, baby wearing, Elimination Communication and potty training, and have knowledge of developmental milestones. I am acutely aware of preserving the health of the child's psychology. P. s. I am a total animal lover! I'm willing to meal prep, tidy, care for pets, drive to activities and more. I have a clean divine record, safe transportation, & am CPR certified.

We are so fortunate to have had Kira nanny for us from the time our son was five months to a year and a half. I worked from home so Kira came and watched our son at our place multiple days a week which was excellent! She is so professional, and so easy to communicate with. While nannying for us, Kira was flexible and understanding when we needed to adjust our schedule. When it came to keeping up with our son’s daily routine, Kira was not only willing to change things up according to our son’s needs and our families flow, but also often came to our chats with her own great ideas for activities and tweaks to his schedule based on her relationship and time with him. As a first time mom, this was so heartwarming and helpful. All in all, we highly recommend Kira because of the gentleness and mindfulness she showed everyday she was with us. She really got to know our boy and was so present with him, which was absolutely priceless! Kira is such a special person and care-taker. And her doggie, Moon, is fabulous, too!
