I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. With eight years of childcare experience, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a reliable childcare option for them. My patient, calm, and friendly nature allows me to connect with children of all ages. I ensure open lines of communication with parents, either verbally at pick-up or through their preferred method, to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. My favorite moments are spent engaging children in outdoor sports, playing educational games, or having fun with board games and puzzles. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to preteens, and am available to provide care during the day, evenings, and weekends. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

Originally from San Francisco, I currently am located Cambridge. I am a patient tutor, care provider, and happy lifelong learner with experience working with various ages and backgrounds. I hold two BAs in Psychology and Sociology, my MS in clinical neuroscience, and am a master's candidate in clinical mental health counseling. I aspire to be a clinical counselor/research scientist in the future. I have provided care for several years during my off time. I have experience working with neurodivergent children/adults (ADHD, autism, etc.), physical and/or mental health conditions and disabilities. I have assisted individuals with learning/communicating utilizing an AAC device. I have also worked with lgbtqia+ children/adults/families. I am passionate about taking time to build genuine connections with folks from all walks of life. I value creating spaces of inclusion, where diversity and accessibility are as important to me as communication and respect.

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

Hey, It’s Eda! Since childhood, I’ve had a natural connection with children and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a patient, energetic, and responsible caregiver who values creating a safe, joyful, and creative environment. I have a background in child nutrition and a special interest in eating disorders, aiming to support healthy habits from an early age. I love incorporating activities like painting, street photography, playying tennis, nature walks, and morning runs into children’s daily routines to keep them engaged and active. I’m currently completing my third summer in the U.S. as a J1 student and living in downtown Chicago to experience city life. I’ve previously worked with a wonderful family of three children here in Chicago and would be happy to provide them as a reference. I’m excited to bring my positive energy, creativity, and caregiving experience into a new family’s life. Thank you,
