I am the mother of three wonderful kids who are now adults! My hobbies include sewing, reading and classic movies. I am positive and upbeat but I also like just sit and have a good chat. I have been providing daytime childcare in my home periodically for the last several years but now I am transitioning to evening childcare in the client's home. I am your date night and evening activity babysitter! I have set my availability to evenings but I can be available during the daytime on occasion. I practiced attachment parenting and baby wearing with my own little ones and I love babies. Babies through age 3 are my favorite ages. I also love teaching kids to read so if you have a pre/new reader I'd love to help out. Activities that I enjoy with children are reading, singing, building blocks, and dolls. I live in the Bethany area of NW Portland and would prefer to stay in the Westside/Beaverton/Hillsboro area. I don't mind pets, I love kitties & can be friends with well behaved, small pups.

We love Kylene! She’s great with my 15 month old and is super sweet. When she’s there, I am always confident she is reading to him, playing with him, or engaging with him in some way and not just glued to the TV. When I come home, our son’s toys are put away and the area is tidy and clean, which is SO appreciated! I feel like I’m cleaning up after everyone in my household on a daily basis and to come home to a content child and a clean home is amazing!
