As an experienced and nurturing childcare provider with a strong background in both childcare and public school education, I am dedicated to fostering a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment for children. My approach is centered around building meaningful, trusting relationships with children and their families, while promoting positive behaviors, emotional growth, and academic success. I am a licensed nursing assistant and CPR and First Aid certified. Others have described me as patient, creative, resourceful, and always having a positive attitude. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working with children from infancy to PreK. I have a strong background in creating age-appropriate activities that engage children’s imaginations, promote social and emotional development, and ensure their well-being. I am skilled in preparing meals, managing daily routines, and providing educational support as needed. I also have a background in working in public schools with general education and special education students. I have an understanding of the academic and social needs of children in a structured learning environment. I have assisted in classrooms, helping students with homework, guiding them through projects, and ensuring they stay on track with their academic progress. My experience in a classroom setting enables me to offer a unique perspective and contribute to a child’s academic and personal growth at home.
“Kiya helped us out at the last minute. She arrived on time and maintained great communication throughout the day. We will definitely use her again! ”
I’m a college student at George Mason University studying marketing, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with kids. I have babysitting experience as well as experience volunteering at a daycare. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages, helping with homework, preparing snacks and simple meals, and keeping kids entertained with games, crafts, and outdoor activities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make safety a priority. I’m also comfortable with pets and helping with light household or child related tasks. I’m looking forward to finding families to help out!
