With two decades of experience sitting for newborns through teens, I am available primarily for a position that has evening or weekend hours, though can do some daytime hours as well. I am outgoing, engaged, and safety conscious. I also communicate openly and timely with families. Though happy to work with all ages, I have worked most extensively with infants and toddlers. I am also a licensed foster parent through DCF, providing short term foster care for infants up to the age of two years old. My parenting is re-evaluated and re-accredited annually.

My approach is both interactive and engaging, as I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, including but not limited to, arts and crafts, at home play, trips to the library, museums, and parks, language development for infants and homework assistance for school age children. Also, I offer support with light housekeeping and meal preparation centered around the children to ensure the household runs smoothly. In addition, I engage in various activities with the children. FOR INFANTS/NEWBORNS, I begin language exposure as early as 1 month, which involves reading to them, teaching vocabulary and sounds, and using visual aids like pictures and colors. I also assist with sleep training, bathing, feeding, and diaper changes. FOR TODDLERS, I support potty training, promote speech development, conduct spelling exercises, read books, teach phonics and writing, and introduce basic numbers and math concepts. 5. I pride myself on being an effective communicator. I prioritize open communication with the parents and children to foster a positive and trusting relationship.

Hello! I am Akira Harper. I am one of five children in my family, so I have learned to operate amongst chaos. I am currently a research assistant, working towards getting my PhD in STEM Education and Teacher Development at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, so my schedule is somewhat flexible. Starting at a young age, I have always worked with children and started by looking after my siblings.
