About Kaila

Born and raised in Los Angeles and now based in New York, I've also lived in Europe and Southeast Asia, which gave me a deep appreciation for multicultural families and perspectives. My babysitting experience confirmed how much I value supporting and encouraging young people as they grow. I'm patient, creative, and easygoing, and love keeping kids engaged through outdoor play, board games, puzzles, and crafts. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, driving, and supervising swimming. I'm also a children's book author and a proud dog-mom to my 10-year-old cavapoo, Dude, so I'm very comfortable with pets. I follow each family's communication preferences and household routines, and always encourage a safe, positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel supported.
