I love working with children, especially those with special needs! I have over 200 hours of clinical practice working with students ages 2-22 from all backgrounds including Austim, Asperger's Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Learning Disability, ADHD, Developmental Delay, Emotional/Behavioral Disorder, Physical and Cognitive Challenges. Upon graduation, I worked one-on-one with a child on the severe Autism spectrum and created a curriculum entirely based off his achievements and abilities. Subjects included Vocational Skills, Math, Reading, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education and Meal Planning. It would be a blessing to work with your family, even just to give you a break and have a date night. My strongest passion when interacting with children is activating their imagination and creative minds by reading, role playing or just being silly. My desire for strong, young readers starts with my completed collection of Dr. Seuss books. I will always have a new book in Read more my hand ready to make reading fun and creative. If you're seeking tutoring or educational services, I ensure your child will receive the best one-on-one focused session of learning. Aside from teaching, I find appreciation of the world through traveling. During college, I took my summer off and traveled to Sucre, Bolivia, a third world country, to assist under-served children. Our group provided medical care, education, meals, basic necessities and nurture to those who needed it most. I also enjoy fitness, animals and learning new recipes! ***If my Enhanced Background Check has expired, please do not hesitate to request I complete one. It will be my pleasure.

Ayat has watched our kids twice now (ages 1, 5, and 8) and we can't recommend her enough! She is professional, punctual, and has great communication. 5 out of 5 stars!

Ayat is an amazing babysitter, and we trust her infinitely with our 2 kids. With my husband and me she is very professional and courteous, and with my kids she is hands-on, fun and creative. My daughters (5 and 6 yo) absolutely adore her and ask for us to have more date nights so they can have more opportunities to see Ms. A. She is engaged with the kids and keeps them active until bedtime. Anyone would be in great hands having Ayat as their babysitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Ayat has been caring for our little Sebastian since he was 5 weeks old (he's now a year). And he LOVES her. And more importantly, I trust her COMPLETELY. And that's saying a lot. Cause I'm one of those picky moms. AND I'm a pediatrician. And leaving my son with her gives me a sigh of relaxation and comfort, knowing that he will be stimulated and have lots of fun and individual attention AND be safe and secure. And on top of that, she cleans! Our house always feels fresh and sparkling when we come home after she's been there. Truly, she's our Mary Poppins. We would be soooooo unhappy if we lost her. So, hire her. And treat her well. But don't take her away!

Ayat has been working with my 5.5 year old daughter on her reading, writing, and math skills for the past year. Ayat is very professional and punctual. I was very impressed that Ayat tailored a series of fun learning sessions to meet my daughter's needs. My daughter has found a greater appreciation for reading and writing now that Ayat has helped her gain more confidence in these skills. Ayat has began working with my 3 year son as well and he has shown great progress in his numbers and verbal skills.

Ayat has been acting as our Monday and sometimes Friday nanny for about 5 months now. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I only wish we could use her more. She has been caring, loving, respectful, punctual, trustworthy, flexible, energetic, enthusiastic ... everything I have ever wanted in a nanny. She takes care of my two girls (age 3 and 6) and labradoodle puppy. She gets them ready in the morning and than walks them to school and back again. While they are in school she tidies the house and folds laundry. After school she drives my oldest to gymnastics and entertains the youngest. She helps start homework when it comes up. And she does it all with a big smile and no ipads! My kids absolutely love her.

Ayat babysat my 3 kids, ages 11, 9 and 4 for over a year. The only reason it wasn't for longer is because I have decided to become a stay-at-home mom. She was extremely patient, understanding and dedicated to my kids. My children are not easy by any means but she managed to get them ready and off to school every morning, on-time, without hassle, and even managed to help with homework whenever possible. Ayat's background in education and love of teaching comes through in all of her interactions with children. It was always a pleasure to discuss my kids personalities with her as she always had some insightful observations to share with me. I only wish I could have had her tutor my kids after school instead of just doing early morning babysitting (due to my work schedule) because she really is so much more than a babysitter.

Ayat is a wonderful care giver. we have entrusted her with driving our boys from school and taking care of them. She is very punctual, respectful and has excellent skills in caring for kids. she has helped our kids with their homework, entertained them educationally and took great care of them in our absence. i recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will truly care for their kid instead of just sitting there and watching them. she is active and envolved and highly dedicated to her work.

My son (7yo) started working with Ayat almost a year ago, he tutors with her 2 days a week and he seems to be doing well. He has moved up 3 levels in reading! Ayat is very patient and a good fit for my son. I've had to change our tutoring days before and she has also been very accommodating. I would definitely recommend her services!
