My name is Nancy. I am the first born daughter of 8 children. I’ve been helping my mom take care of my siblings which have built the foundation of my profession. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have previous experience with being a substitute teacher for about 6 years. Through substituting, I was able to obtain a lot of my professional experience. I’ve been to a vast amount of daycares where I got to see and learn different learning styles in children as well as different approaches to learning and teaching children to achieve their milestones. I’ve been in a classroom where I’ve had to potty train and can say I was able to learn a few techniques. I’ve also been “long-term” in some sites where I was able to grow a bond with some of the children and celebrate their success. I do have a sibling with Asperger’s autism who is 15, so I have some experience with children on the spectrum.
Hi families, my name is Songül but I go by Sonia. I am a reliable and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported. I value consistency, routines, and open communication with families. I studied dental technology in Istanbul and I am currently continuing my education in the U.S. I am patient, responsible, and truly care about each child’s well-being.
Hello, My name is Erika. I am a mother of three and an educator. I am a former Preschool teacher with 20+ years experience. I have worked with children as young as one, up to school age children. As an educator I believe young children learn positive behavior by watching and interacting with their caregivers every day. When caregivers model kindness, patience, and respect ,children begin to understand how to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make good choices.
Hi! My name is Xitclali or Lali whichever you prefer! I’m 24 years old and work as a Behavioral Aide for an elementary school. I’ve been working around kids for about 7 years. I absolutely love it! I am here to help with any homework needs or just to keep company and help around. I have also worked as a care taker for about 6 months. I can help with things around the house, errands and keep company. I am very friendly, respectful, responsible, empathetic, kind and fun! :)
Hello, my name is Anayah Walker. I am currently a Paraeducator. I am the oldest of 5 kids with my sibling's ages ranging from 4-14. I have been a major part in the upbringing of all of my siblings. With that being said, I'm naturally a caregiver. I have experience in being an in-home behavioral technician and an enrichment counselor working with ages 4-17. I know how to bring calm, patience, and structure to busy afternoons. I'm CPR-certified with my own car for school pickups and activity drop-offs. I'm also more than happy to help keep the house running smoothly with simple tasks.
