Keira T1D babysitter

Confident care of your little one

Who am I?

Hello, I am Keira King. I am 15 years old and I have been living with T1D since I was 4 years old. I absolutely love children more than anything and I hope that I can have the chance to skillfully care for your children while you have a night out or away. I completely understand how hard it is to leave your child with a new sitter who might not know anything about diabetes. I know a lot about diabetes since I have been living with it for over 10 years.  I wear a Dexcom and a T-Slim pump. I also have had experience with Medtronic and Omnipod pumps. I have been involved with JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) as a member of  the Natick Runs on Insulin walk team and was a member of  the JDRF Youth Ambassadors for 2 years. I have been mostly managing my own diabetes for a while now and I hope that I can help manage your child's while you have a much needed night off!

"Keira has been a great babysitter for our family. She has watched my daughter for 3 years now(from age 1-4). She is confident and a great communicator. My daughter always looks forward to her visits, they have done fun art projects together and taken walks to the local playground and Town Common for added entertainment.  She has watched my daughter and my brother's toddler with no issues! I highly recommend Keira."  Kim Navins, mom to 4 year old Abby
