The Boston Conservatory

I am a professional movement artist and Alexander Technique teacher trainee currently living in Greenpoint. I have been a babysitter, pet sitter, and dog walker for roughly 10 years. I have also worked as a camp counselor at Walnut Hill and Camp Nor'wester with children ages 9-16. I have changed diapers, cooked dinner, driven children to piano lessons, taught infants how to use eating utensils, picked them up from school, helped with homework, and tucked them in for bed. I have experience caring for children for long periods of time as well as assisting parents for short periods of time while they work at home. I am a lover of animals and I greatly enjoy dog walking and dog and cat sitting.

I have several years of experience babysitting, and absolutely love working with children of all ages. I also have three years of experience teaching dance and music classes to preschool and elementary school-aged children, and teaching theater programs to elementary and middle school-aged children. My previous job was at a "Princess Party" organization where I had to dress up as and act like several Disney Princesses, and lead sing along, games, and there activities with large groups of children.

Hello! My name is Kayla, and I've been sitting children ages 2 months-12 years for over 10 years, including twins, minor special needs, and large families. I graduated MFA Musical Theater, and I can't wait to share my passion of singing, dancing, and acting with your family! I'm CPR/AED certified, and rated in the top 1% of local caregivers. I'm a non smoking, pet loving, drug/tattoo-free, kind and friendly person. I also have a US Passport/Drivers License, Covid Vaccination, and reliable transportation. For Theme Park Care, I have an Annual Pass to Disney, Universal, Seaworld, Fun Spot, and many others that all include free parking! I look forward to hopefully meeting your family soon! :) Please Note: Due to the overwhelming amount of messages regarding the subject, I do not help families who work from home or will be residing in in the home during my time of care (however cameras are totally fine). I also have a 4 hour minimum in home/resort, and a 6 hour minimum in Theme Park.

I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Therapy, and a graduate of The Boston Conservatory with a master's degree in Musical Theatre. I recently moved back home to NYC from Boston where I was performing and nannying for a wonderful family of 3 children whom I helped care for over the past 5+ years. In my music therapy work, I have worked in group settings of children 4 months to 21 years old, with varying levels of medical, learning and social/behavioral needs. I absolutely adore children and am a very dynamic, caring, responsible and creative individual. I am an avid crafter and I play the guitar, ukulele, piano and have lots of percussion instruments, for endless amounts of artistic fun! If your kids love to be creative, we may be an excellent fit. I do not currently own a car, but I have a license with a clean driving record. I am not currently CPR certified, but I have been in the past and plan on renewing my certification.

I have background teaching creative movement/dance to children. I am a empathetic, caring, kind and attentive person. I currently work for Bayada Home Health Care as a Companion and Homemaker for the elderly. My current duties include light housekeeping, errands (I have my own car), meal preparation and companionship. I feel that the work I do with the elderly translates nicely to work with children, (minus the age gap)!
