Kiayla B.

Hi families! My name is Kiayla “Kiki” Brackenridge. I’m a 24-year-old Naperville native with a big heart for little learners, and I’m excited to find a family I can grow with, love, and support long-term. 💛

I am currently a Lead Teacher at a curriculum-based preschool, and after 5+ years of classroom teaching, I’m transitioning out of the school setting so I can nanny and return to school to pursue my Secondary Education degree. I’m thrilled for the chance to work more closely with one family and make a meaningful, loving impact every single day.

A little about my childcare journey:
✨ Started a babysitting business at age 12
✈️ Became a travel nanny at 15
🏫 Started teaching at 19
👶 Experience with all ages – infants through school-age
🩺 CPR, AED, and Epi-Pen Certified

As a nanny, I bring a nurturing teaching approach inspired by Montessori philosophies. I’m big on:
🌱 Encouraging independence & self-help skills
🧠 Hands-on learning and age-appropriate curriculum
💬 Social-emotional support & positive communication
📚 Daily activities that support developmental growth
⏱️ Smooth transitions & consistent structure (but still fun!)

I value a balance of fun, learning, and loving guidance — you can expect sensory play, outdoor adventures, arts & crafts, story-rich literacy, music & movement, and intentional routines that help children thrive.

I’m also happy to support families with light household management, such as child laundry, organizing play spaces, dishes, simple meal prep, and keeping the home running smoothly so you can breathe easier after a long day.

If you’re seeking a playful, reliable, patient, creative, and family-oriented nanny who will treat your child with the same care and love I’d want for my own, I would love to connect! 💕

I can’t wait to find a family that feels like home.
Let’s chat!
