Caring for my younger siblings and students in my community influenced my decision to become a caregiver. Participating in activities such as summer enrichment classes and daycare learning centers fueled my passion even more, and those experiences taught me that I am passionate about helping people and improving the daily lives of those in need of care. Supporting my students taught me patience, compassion, and problem-solving skills. I learned how to deal with problems quickly and effectively in order to keep them healthy and safe.

Hi my name is Emily! I've been nannying/pet sitting for over 7 years (ages newborn to 12) and truly love what I do. I'm BLS and CPR certified, have a Bachelor's in Health Science, and I'm currently studying to pass my exam to earn certification in intraoperative neuromonitoring. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing space where children can learn and feel loved- whether that's through crafts, outdoor play, or story time. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with families I've worked for and many have become friends. I'm reliable, patient, caring, and aim to make parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands. I also have experience caring for pets, house sitting, being a mommy's helper, and traveling with families. I am also bilingual in Spanish. If you are still looking for help let’s schedule a call to discuss more!

Hey there! 🌟 I’m Nazia, and caring for children has been a passion of mine since I was 9 years old. Over the past decade, I’ve had the joy of looking after kids of all ages—from newborns to teenagers (0–13 years old)—including children with ASD, ADHD, and other special needs. Now at 20, I’ve expanded my experience even further by working professionally as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with developmental challenges through applied behavior analysis.

I have experience and knowledge of child cognitive, social skills development methods and techniques. I have extensive experience in reading, play and quiet time activities. I have in-depth child supervision skills of all ages. Recently, I have cared for a 6 week infant up until 6 months when he was ready for daycare. I also cared for a 6 week old up until he turned 1 and was ready for daycare. I cleaned and sterilized bottles, bottle fed, changed diapers, prepared baby for nap time, interacted in child play and tummy time, story time, played classical music, and taught cognitive skills. I have cared for two mentally and physically handicapped children for five years. I prepared meals, fed, changed, bathed, administered medication, did laundry and dressed them for bed. I also tutored an 11 year old girl with special needs for four years. I picked her up from the school bus, prepared after school snacks, and helped her with her homework. I was her tutor and I prepared her for her tests. She received high honors for the four years that I cared for her. I also watched three young boys, ages ranging from 3-12, for four years. I did homework, food preparation, transportation to and from sports games, and did various outdoors activities with them. Based on my experience, I feel I would be a perfect candidate to work with your family. I am dedicated to provide compassionate home care for those in need, with affordable rates. I am hard-working, honest, reliable, and I take pride in what I do. I am ready to take on new challenges and responsibilities and I am dedicated to providing the best quality of care possible while, constantly striving for excellence. I believe it is best to work together as a team with the family to obtain optimal success in all areas for the best interest of the children and or parents. Each individualized comprehensive care plan will be designed to assess the individuals current strengths and developments so we can recommend and build upon those strengths to achieve desired outcomes for your loved ones.
