Hi friends! Kayla and Kalista here. The sisters and owners behind Sister Sitters: Nanny and Babysitting Services. We are so glad that you found us and cannot wait to make a difference in your life! Let us introduce ourselves...
Hi, I'm Kayla!
I have been a nanny for over 5+ years ranging from newborns through 12 years old. Children have always been a huge part of my life as friendships have turned into family with the children I have nannied over the years. I graduated with a BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Developing Children and Families in Upstate NY.
My first children's book was published in May 2023. "I Am... Self- Discovery" allows children to discover the power of positive words and affirmations to boost their confidence level, and to remind themselves that they will always be enough. There's a personalized certificate at the end to guide children into building their own shield of armor. Check out my website to follow along on the journey of publishing a book, and grab your copy!
I am looking forward to meeting you and matching you with the perfect nanny to join your family!

Hi Families! My name is Raven and I have a passion in early education and childcare with intentions on becoming an ESE Teacher. Growing up and helping raise my younger siblings, I feel it has shaped me to play the "big sister" role in everything I do. Always able to comfort and help young children, as well as being able to use every opportunity as a teaching moment, and of course being the fun responsible sister! I am creative, caring and full of energy to keep up with the little ones! My experience started at the early age of 16 when I started my first job as a Summer Camp Counselor now working as an ESE Teacher assistant. I've tutored many students in Elementary as well as students with learning disabilities within a range of age. Being around children all my early adult life I'm confident to say I am best for the job. I am responsible and reliable. Always full of ideas and energy to keep the little ones engaged, have fun and of course to get all homework done and in bed on time! I look forward to meeting you and the kiddos!

Hi friends, my name is Jenni! I am originally from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, but have lived in the Central Florida area since 2017 when I moved here to work at Disney. I spent 3 incredibly rewarding years working for the Mouse before deciding I would rather spend my time playing in the parks than working in them! It is my joy and my passion to love on and nurture kiddos of all ages, and I have spent the past 13 years (almost half of my life!) babysitting and serving in my church's kids ministries living out that passion. I promise to always make your little one's safety my top priority, and to provide a loving, fun, and enriching environment for them to grow and thrive in. I am so excited to know you and serve you, friend!

Hi there, I’m Alexa C. but feel free to call me Lex! I’ve been babysitting for 5+ years, and I love working with kids everyday! I’m currently working at both Disney as a performer, and the new Evermore resort doing resort activities. I graduated from UCF back in 2021 with a BFA in Musical Theatre, so I love finding creative ways to entertain kids and inspire their imagination! I also love to incorporate music (and singing, of course) into lots of what I do, and get young ones interested in the arts from an early age. Especially anything Disney… I’m your gal! Mostly, I love building relationships and special bonds with every child I get to meet, because even I remember my childhood babysitters and how special they were! I hope to be that for your kiddos, too. I can’t wait to meet you!

Hello, I'm Amber and I am not your typical babysitter. With a heart for children's well-being and a passion for mental health advocacy, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my role. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Child Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from John Hopkins University, I am well-equipped to not only ensure the safety and happiness of your little ones but also to support their emotional and developmental needs. I began babysitting at around 13 years of age and have had 15+ years of experience working with children of all ages due to the numerous jobs I have had the pleasure of working. I understand the importance of creating a nurturing and stimulating environment based on an individual's needs. Whether it's engaging in creative play, facilitating age-appropriate activities, or providing gentle guidance through challenging moments, I approach every interaction with patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of childhood development stemming from being a previous preschool teacher, a Disney cast member, a Universal Studios team member, and now a licensed mental health therapist.
As a licensed mental health counselor in Maryland and Florida, I add an additional layer of support to my babysitting services. I am adept at recognizing signs of emotional distress and providing appropriate interventions to help children navigate their feelings in healthy and helpful ways. Whether I work to soothe separation anxiety, address behavioral issues, or simply lend a compassionate ear, I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive space where children feel heard, valued, and understood as well as have fun! Above all, my goal is to not only be a caretaker, but also a trusted confidante and mentor to the children and families I care for to have the best experience. With my bubbly demeanor, professional expertise, and genuine love for children, I am dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of both kids and families alike. I also have extensive knowledge of the Disney Parks as a former Jungle Cruise Skipper and would love to help make your vacation / trip magical. Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me and I cannot wait to meet you!
