Growing up in a big family, I was always surrounded by children, which sparked my passion for caregiving early on. As a teen, I began teaching swim lessons to children ages 6 and under and worked as a lifeguard for about three years. During the winter months, I served as a party hostess at a bowling alley, where I was frequently requested by both kids and parents for birthday celebrations! One of my favorite roles was working as a Disney princess at parties and events—a perfect blend of my love for children and performing. I’m a professionally trained singer, and I enjoy playing the piano, guitar, and songwriting. Most recently, I served in the U.S. Air Force as an intelligence analyst for a special operations aircraft. During my time in service, I was honored to be one of the most frequently selected National Anthem performers at the Wing level, and I continue to sing at professional sporting events. I’ve often been described as fun, caring, and extroverted, with a warm and calming presence that helps children—whether shy or spirited—feel safe and at ease around me.

My name is Keidy and you can think of me as your Swiss Army knife of child care. Not only am I backed by years of experience and multiple first aid certifications, but my love of children (especially the furry ones) as well! If you give me the opportunity I will protect and entertain your little one while you’re out being super mom/ dad!

Keidy was a pleasure to have and demonstrated excellent attention to detail while caring for my six-month-old dog and my seven-year-old niece, who can be quite a handful.

Hello! My name is T’Asia, and I am a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider. I am also a mother to two young children—a 3-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl—which has given me hands-on experience with infants and toddlers and a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and safety. I provide a nurturing and structured environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn through play. I am experienced with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, potty training support, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, music, and outdoor play. As a parent, I understand how important trust and communication are. I take pride in being attentive, reliable, and respectful of each family’s preferences and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I remain calm and patient in all situations. I am happy to help with light childcare-related tasks, including meal prep for children and tidying play areas. I look forward to working with a family who values loving, dependable care and open communication. References are available upon request.

I have worked with infants ages 6-weeks to 8 months during the summers and winters that I had off from school. I have also been an intern and student teacher at an elementary school. I have multiple pets of my own including both dogs and cats. I have been taking care of cleaning my house and cooking food for many years and am a huge fan of clean, healthy, and nutritious eating. I am an extremely creative person with a passion for arts while I also love going on walks and trips to the beach. As I have experience with infants I have a knack for exposing children to different environments, tactile exposure, foods, and textures. Due to my background in education I also am able to incorporate learning into almost anything. I have been also always been able to create strong rapport and bonds with children from infancy to elementary grades.
