A brief sabbatical from my education studies gave me some time to explore the workforce, and my search led me to an incredible direct care foundation that trained individuals to work with those living with disabilities and developmental delays. I quickly fell in love with the care field. I even changed my whole course of study to Human Development and Family Studies so I could learn as much as possible about development and caring for those who need an advocate. I've worked actively as a nanny for 7 years and spent three of those devoted to those living with disabilities. Greetings! I'm Kayleigh, a 26-year-old nanny with over 10 years of caregiving experience (eight years as a nanny and three years as a direct service professional assisting those living with disabilities). I studied Human Development and Family Studies and find my true vocation in life to be caring for children and/or those who need an advocate. The past three years of my life have been devoted to being a lifestyle portrait photographer, but I have just relocated from Denver, CO, to Puyallup, WA, and am seeking to return back to my roots as a nanny. I am a hands-on nanny. I do not subscribe to the notion that you pay me to make the TV or nap time my best resource. You'll find me coming up with fun science experiments, easy day trips around the community, reading about 10 more books than the two I ask my kids to pick out during downtime or nap time, and you'll find me preparing nutritious meals and actually cleaning up after myself! I am open to all types of parenting and learning philosophies and am happy to help bring in a fresh perspective as well. Expect to feel peace of mind as you leave your kids for the day, not fear of how the house or kids may be from being left to the care of someone who simply doesn't care with fervor. I do. I am excited to work and care for your children and have provided excellent service to around 10 very different but precious families. I am healthy, happy, and a non-smoker. I have my own reliable transportation and an excellent insurance policy. I am CPR/First Aid/Blood Borne Pathogens Certified. For your reference, my services start at $10 per hour for single family children and $13-$15 for 2-3), and over 4 children is $7.50 per child (great ideas for nanny shares). These rates cover gas/travel, certification upkeep, and the full hands-on nanny experience that so many spend years to find! I can't wait to start working with your family, so please contact me if I fit into your family's flow!
