Experience: 10 yrs
For the past eight years, I've been dedicated to nurturing children's growth and creating positive early experiences. My passion lies in supporting families by providing reliable care and fostering each child's unique development. I hold a college degree, have completed Early Child Development Coursework, and am certified in CPR Training. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children across various age groups, from infants to preteens. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I communicate with parents through daily reports, texts, or phone calls, adapting to your preferred method. Enforcing household rules is no problem. Knowing I can make a difference in a child's life brings me joy. I'm eager to bring my experience and dedication to your family!
To Whom It May Concern, It is with a full and grateful heart that I write this letter recommending Kayla for a private nanny position. While Kayla is my cousin, I want to be clear that my endorsement of her comes not simply from family loyalty, but from lived experience, deep trust, and firsthand knowledge of the care she provides. As a single mother, raising my two children was both the greatest blessing and the greatest challenge of my life. During some of my most vulnerable and overwhelming seasons, Kayla stepped in and became part of our foundation. She did not just help out — but she was my private nanny for years, she helped raise my children. She became my village when I needed one the most. Kayla cared for my babies with patience, gentleness, and unwavering consistency. She treated them as if they were her own — protecting them, nurturing them, guiding them, and loving them fiercely. I trusted her completely with the most precious parts of my world, and she never once gave me a reason to doubt that trust. As a mother, there is no higher compliment I can give. Beyond her natural warmth, Kayla is responsible, dependable, and intuitive. She understands children deeply — their emotional needs, their developmental stages, and the importance of creating a safe and structured environment while still allowing them to simply be kids. My children flourished under her care, and I will forever be grateful for the stability and love she brought into our home. Even though we are family, I can say with confidence that my trust in her runs deeper than blood — it is built on her character, her integrity, and the way she shows up consistently for the people she loves. If you are considering Kayla for a private nanny position, please know that you will not be making a mistake. You will be gaining someone who will love your children, protect them, and care for them with her whole heart. I recommend Kayla without hesitation and with the highest regard. Sincerely, Tiffany
