About Kayleigh

I may only be 23 years old, but I have have 10+ years of experience caring for young children. I am the oldest of three siblings as well as a whole brood of little cousins, so caregiver has essentially been my role from day one. Growing up, my mom ran a small daycare in our home. She passed on the wisdom she had learned from receiving a masters degree in child development and many years working in the field, inspiring me to start officially babysitting at age 11 and to later become a full time nanny. I love all ages and have adapted my role to grow with the families I have worked for. My most recent job was as a substitute teacher at JB Nelson Elementary School in Batavia, IL where I primarily worked in Kindergarten classrooms. I am a 2023 graduate from the University of Iowa with a degree in English and Creative Writing as well as a minor in Spanish. Helping children to flourish has remained one of my passions and I would love to carry that on by working with your family :)
