Hi, My name is Maryam, I'm 19 years old and I'm currently in college for biomedical science. Growing up with my mom owning a daycare for ten years taught me invaluable lessons in creating a nurturing environment for children.

From managing diverse personalities to understanding individual needs, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for fostering growth in a loving environment. My caregiving extends to various ages and needs, including children, seniors, and pets. I prioritize kindness, respect, and personalized care tailored to each person's preferences. In addition to caregiving, I excel in household management and essential services, ensuring both practical needs and emotional support are met in a tidy and comfortable environment. Overall, my journey as a caregiver is characterized by genuine warmth, patience, and a commitment to creating supportive environments. These qualities, coupled with diverse caregiving experiences, empower me to positively impact the lives of those I care for.

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.
