Get to Know the Heart Behind Makayla Kares

Because your children deserve more than just a sitter — they deserve a caregiver who is as dedicated and loving as family.

Makayla’s Story

Makayla Kares

Hi, I’m Makayla — CEO and founder of Makayla Kares babysitting services. As the oldest of four siblings, childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With over a decade of professional experience, including four incredible years as a full-time nanny and another four running my own trusted babysitting business, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and reliability to every family I serve.

I’m proudly CPR and First Aid certified, and fully background-checked for your peace of mind. More than just qualifications, I bring a kid-at-heart spirit to every interaction — you can always expect silly jokes, imaginative games, creative crafts, and plenty of warm hugs.

At Makayla Kares, children aren’t just looked after — they are genuinely loved and celebrated. I believe that laughter builds trust, love fosters confidence, and loyalty strengthens the bond between caregiver and child.

When your little one is with me, they’re not just in safe hands — they’re having a blast, making memories, and feeling right at home.

I can’t wait to meet you and become a part of your family’s journey!

What parent say
I can’t recommend Makayla Kares enough. From the very first meeting, Makayla made us feel completely comfortable and confident in her care. Her experience, loving attitude, and creativity shine through in everything she does. Our kids always look forward to spending time with her, and I know they’re in the best hands when I’m away
