I am a married mom with 2 grown children. I have been in the area for more than 35 years. I have been blessed to find work that I love doing. My passion is providing support to new parents as they adjust to parenthood. I also enjoy meeting new people and have loved babysititng for a number of families while vacationing here in Florida, as well as provided childcare for weddings. I connect well with children of all ages. I particularly love getting my baby snuggles and watching infants grow into their own special little humans. I have 3 dogs of my own, so your pets will be loved, too. I am not a smoker. I clean up after myself and the kids and don't mind helping keep things tidy. You can trust that your children will not be in the hands of just a babysitter, but of a veteran mom with a real love and respect for children.

Kiya was fantastic. I hired her to care for my 3 year old that recently had a surgery and needed to stay at home for a few days to recover. She proactively communicated from the start, was prompt, and most importantly was warm and kind to my sometimes grumpy toddler. She went above and beyond in so many ways and that genuinely meant a lot to me. I will definitely hire Kiya again!

Kiya has been nothing less of amazing. She communicates well with you, also confirms the day before (which I love). She is accommodating with times and/or needs. The minute I met her, she had this positive vibe and comfort which put my anxiety at ease. She immediately welcomed my baby with open arms; and my baby was calm and happy with her. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to babies and knows how to soothe them just right. Every time I saw our daughter with her, she was either happy playing or sound asleep peacefully. Kiya is patient, gentle and compassionate. She has been the only person who puts my anxiety to rest, I know our baby is in great hands with her and I never have to worry. I love that she spends time to do belly time or floor time, or whatever it is that your baby needs at the age it needs it. My oldest daughter (8 years) never wants Kiya to leave either! We love her and I wish I can keep her forever!

Kiya is amazing!  We recently hired her to watch our 7 month old and we could not be happier. She helps out with some chores around the house, without being asked, and is a very hands on sitter. She is very knowledgeable, and I appreciate all of her advise and feedback!  Kiya is also very accommodating with our schedule, which we appreciate. Our family is very lucky to have found her!

Great experience with Kiya she went above and beyond what I expected. I really felt comfortable with my babies in her hands will definitely be hiring her again!!! My whole family loved her.

Kiya is wonderful with children of all ages. She is also exceptional with "nervous Mommies" like me. She is so comforting and reassuring, keeps you up to date when you are out. She is by far the best caretaker for our children. Would highly recommend to everyone, but want to keep her all for ourselves.

I'll start by saying we love Kiya. She just molded into our family since day one. I have 2 boys, 4 and 2, and they hug her when she comes in the door. She is personable and extremely kind. She sends updates/pictures of the boys to make sure we can enjoy our time to ourselves and know everything is alright. We don't even have to think of checking in with her. She also helps my sister and multiple other families that we know. She is amazing and indispensable.

Kiya is absolutely amazing. She is always on time, helpful and kind. She has watched both my 4 month old girl and 4 year old boy. She has helped me so much since she's been with us. She really takes the time to get to know each individual child and their needs. I was so worried leaving my youngest with someone but after spending some time with Kiya I immediately felt comfortable and she jumps into mom mode and knows all the right things to try. I feel really lucky to have found her and have her care for my kids.

Kiya is hands down one of the best sitters for us. She is always on time or early. She communicates very effectively with us. She kind with our kids and helps address any behavior issues. She is a mom and knows how to raise kids and our kids love her!

Kiya has been a godsend for my family!  She is very patient and kind with my fussy little boy.  Having an experienced mom was a requirement for us and Kiya fits that bill. She has great instincts and many of her suggestions have helped us with our own parenting style. She has never been late and even helps out around the house when the baby is sleeping. She's a 10/10 nanny!

Kiya has cared for my baby since she was 4 months old.  She immediately put both me and the baby at ease.   I can't say enough about the care she provides my daughter. My daughter is so excited to see her every time she comes and I know she is in great hands. I would highly recommend!

Kiya did a great job with our 14 year old daughter with special needs. Kiya watched her for a day for us when we were vacationing down in Florida. She was so patient and kind with her. I would definitely recommend her, and would hire her again!

Kiya was terrific and professional.  Our 9 month old loved her and we knew he was in good hands the whole week during our visit to St. Pete!   She even made us realize that our baby no longer wanted pureed food and was only really happy eating "real" food with texture.  She was very in tune with our son and was devoted and dedicated in the way you would want another person caring for your baby to be!  I give Kiya a strong recommendation without any reservations at all!   We are so fortunate she is available to our babies and will be hiring her again upon our next visit to the area! 

Love Kiya!  Extremely caring with my 9 year old twins.  Punctual and fun, took the kids to ice cream and golfing.  Kids had fun!  

Kiya started working with our infant son 2 weeks ago. She is awesome with him, and is helping me understand my baby better as well. Great Asset. 

We hired Kiya to watch our 18 month old daughter while we were vacationing in FL. She completely exceeded our expectations! She text us numerous times leading up to our trip to see if there was anything she could do to help.

When she arrived, she was always early, full of energy and completely flexible. She took on three additional children one night with ease. She also brought age appropriate books and toys for our daughter and would check in if she had any questions.

We will definitely be hiring Kiya again if we are in the area! 

We came down to Clearwater on vacation with our 20 month old son, and hired Kiya to watch him so we could have a date night. Kiya stayed in touch with us by text in the days approaching the job, and by the time she arrived it felt like we were greeting a friend. Our son fell in love immediately, and Kiya wasted no time getting involved in his play and running through his routine with us. We ended up leaving for dinner even earlier than planned because we were so comfortable, and our son barely noticed as we kissed him and headed out. We will 100% be calling Kiya the next time we vacation here, and would recommend her to any family that needs a sitter while they visit the area. 

Kiya is honestly one in a million. I interviewed several women to watch over our precious 3 month old son and I can confidently say we made the right decision in hiring Kiya. She is punctual, reliable and really knows a lot about babies. Our son just loves her and she really treats him as if he is her own. I couldn't ask for anyone better to be entrusting our precious cargo with. We could not be happier with her. She is apart of our family and we can't wait to expand and have her take care of the rest of our babies.


Kiya is a wonderful help to our family and takes great care of our 5 month old. So happy we found her!
