- Hi, My name is fun sitter and smile creator Iqra, I am hardworking, happy, creative, open-minded, outgoing and a strong driver! I have been taking care of children for the last 13years. I have experience with children of all ages. 0- 14 I love what I do and I do it with lots of love. Children are sensitive, true and unique. It’s important that a child isn’t only being watched but taking care of with real love and care. I also love teaching about world around them to encourage wonder and participation. In terms of discipline, I detest corporal punishment and I don’t believe in that as an option. I believe talking with children to explain morals and helping them understand and personalize concepts of good and bad behavior is the most effective way to help guide children. I am available to talk more in detail about my experiences, as well as your expectations, needs and children! I have a advace babysitting certificate, I’m looking forward for your contact! Thank you, see you soon

Hi! I’m Ena’je I’m a reliable and nurturing childcare provider with 10+ years of experience caring for children from infants to school-aged kids. I was raised in an at-home daycare environment and have worked with many families over the years, which has helped me build a strong foundation in child development and care. My caregiving approach is Montessori-inspired, focusing on independence, hands-on learning, and respecting each child’s pace and interests. I encourage age-appropriate activities that support fine motor skills, problem-solving, creativity, and practical life skills in a calm, structured, and engaging environment. I also have experience with sleep training for newborns. I also have experience supporting families with school pick-up and drop-off, including direct school pick-ups, kiss-and-ride, and walking children to and from bus stops. Safety, punctuality, and consistency are always a top priority for me. I enjoy helping with homework, guiding creative play, organizing educational activities, and providing a warm, attentive presence. I adapt easily to each family’s routine and each child’s unique personality. Clear and open communication with parents is very important to me. I keep families informed about their child’s day and make sure instructions and preferences are followed closely. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to being a trusted and supportive caregiver for your family.
