Tyla B.

Sitter / Nanny

I’ve worked with families with newborn and toddlers that had a wide range of individual needs. Working with parents having to return to work full time and taking over all needs that pertain to the children. From feedings, bath time, sleep training, and providing feedback on development at the earliest stages. My approach to infant care is based off of the parents wants and needs, it’s important to work as a team and communicate with each other to ensure all of the baby’s needs are met. I also have experience working with multiple children, drop off/picks up, meal prep, scheduling appointments, and light housekeeping.

Abigail B.

Sitter / Nanny

Hi! I’m a dedicated childcare provider currently studying elementary education, with hands-on experience working with children from infants through school age. I’ve spent the past two years in a preschool setting caring for children ages 0–5, and I currently work as a paraprofessional supporting students around age 7, helping with both academic and behavioral needs. I truly love caregiving because I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and helping them grow, learn, and feel supported every day. I’m patient, reliable, and love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment—whether that’s through crafts, games, or helping with homework. A little about me: I’m a very creative and positive person who loves reading, music, and finding new activities to keep kids engaged and smiling! Languages: English and Spanish.
