Ms. Kayla B.

Birthday: August 17

Hometown: Bradenton, FL

Favorite Crayola color: Tickle Me Pink

Background: I have been babysitting for friends and neighbors for almost a decade. When I was 11 years old, my baby brother (Joey) was born. I've watched him consistently since, while also babysitting for other families. In 2006, my mom returned to work and I took responsibility as Joey's nanny. This involved taking him to and from school, helping with homework, feeding him, putting him to bed, etc. I have always had a passion for children, and love spending time with them and helping them grow.

Future plans: I am currently a student at TCC and a future nursing student. I eventually plan to become a Physician's Assistant.

When she's not babysitting: I love to spend time with my friends and family; I have a very close relationship with my family and some of the best friends in the world! I also love shopping, yoga, and going to the beach. I love traveling and seeing new places.
