Hi, I’m Akiyah! I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and understood. Watching kids grow, learn new skills, and gain confidence is incredibly rewarding to me, and I take pride in being someone families can trust. I have experience caring for children of different ages, including helping with daily routines, playtime, homework, and bedtime. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. My background in psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis has provided me with a strong understanding of child development and behavior, enabling me to respond calmly and thoughtfully in various situations. My strengths include strong communication skills, reliability, and a warm, positive attitude toward every family I work with. I’m also experienced in maintaining structure, setting appropriate boundaries, and creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for children to thrive.
