Hi! I am a junior Finance major currently attending Howard University and I love kids! I have 5 years of professional experience during which I've provided childcare for children up to age 14. I enriched the children's education by ensuring they completed summer assignments which improved their performance in school. I fed, played games, and read books with children that made my experience as well as the child's a memorable one. I looked to my mother and father, who are teachers, for suggestions on what I could do to improve the experience for the children. I currently act as a resident assistant in a freshmen dorm so I get a constant opportunity to mentor, learn, and grow from the girls on my floor. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me!

Mecca was reliable, pleasant and actually listened to me as I rambled on and on about leaving my child for the first time with her or any sitter. She responded with text updates when I texted her. I will definitely work with her again.
