Background: I’ve been caring for children since I was 16 years old. I started out babysitting for family members, which helped me build a strong foundation in patience, responsibility, and creating a fun, safe environment for kids. Since then, I’ve expanded my experience and now work as a nanny, supporting families with consistent, attentive care.
I’m currently studying psychology with a minor in child development, which allows me to better understand children’s emotional, social, and cognitive growth. I love applying what I learn to real-life situations, whether that’s helping with behavior, encouraging learning through play, or supporting developmental milestones.
I have experience working with children of various ages, including those with special needs. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and providing individualized care to meet each child’s unique needs. I’ve also helped with tasks such as meal preparation, homework assistance, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and creating engaging activities that support learning and creativity
On my own, I’ve cared for children as young as: 5 days old
Future plans: Over the next 5–10 years, I hope to continue growing both personally and professionally. I plan to attend graduate school to study Applied Behavior Analysis and become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I’m passionate about working with children and supporting their development in meaningful ways. I also have a long-term dream of owning my own cheer team, combining my love for mentorship, teamwork, and leadership. In the meantime, I’m excited to keep gaining hands-on experience and building strong, positive relationships with the families I work with.
When I'm not babysitting: In my free time, I love staying active by working out and cheering, I’m currently a cheerleader at Florida State University! I’m very passionate about fitness, teamwork, and staying positive. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and traveling whenever I can, as I love experiencing new places and making lasting memories.

“Kierra is really good with kids and it shows in how she interacts with them. She’s very hands on and actually plays with them talks to them and keeps them engaged instead of just sitting back and watching. Kids feel comfortable around her pretty fast because she’s easygoing and has a warm energy.
She’s also really dependable and takes what she’s doing seriously. She pays attention to what kids need and makes sure they’re safe but still having a good time. She knows how to balance being fun and still being responsible.”
