Hello there! I'm Ryah — a twenty-year-old student, sister, friend, and daughter, as well as a caring and dependable babysitter and nanny with over five years of experience working with children of all ages. Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting many families as a trusted babysitter, spending two years as a dedicated nanny, working as an assistant director for a preschool enrichment company, teaching fitness and yoga classes, and gaining two years of hands-on experience as a preschool teacher's aide. Alongside my professional experience, 1 am currently a third year college student pursuing a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist.
Through these roles, I've developed a strong ability to balance fun and structure, encourage creativity, and respond calmly and confidently to the everyday moments that matter most. I love planning engaging activities, supporting learning through play, and helping children feel safe, heard, and valued. Whether it's assisting with homework, organizing crafts, playing games, or keeping daily routines on track, I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment for every child and family I work with. I believe communication/trust are the foundation of strong relationships with families, I strive to be someone both parents and children can rely on.
I am CPR/First Aid certified (adjust if needed), attentive to individual needs, and always focused on maintaining a safe and supportive space. I would love the opportunity to bring my patience, energy, and genuine passion for working with children to your family, and to build meaningful, lasting connections along the way. I look forward to connecting with you!
