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. I've been currently working with children with and without disabilities, since high school and I love it. I am quick to learn and face every challenge head on! Furthermore, I have a car and I am fully vaccinated and I am tested weekly while living on campus. Additionally, I am in the midst of renewing both my CPR and First Aid certifications and those should be all set within the next couple of weeks! I look forward to hearing from you and your family.

I’ve had a passion for caring for kids for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved helping care for younger kids at church, in my family, or anywhere I had the chance. I have experience as a babysitter, substitute teacher, and Residential Advisor, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and the ability to create safe, structured environments where kids can thrive. I’m comfortable caring for up to two children of all ages. Whether it’s leading fun, engaging activities, helping with meals and nap time, or just being a dependable presence, I’m ready to support your family in whatever way I can. I’ve worked with kids from a wide range of backgrounds and personalities, and I love building connections with each of them. I’m excited to create a fun and safe space while gaining more experience and meeting your family’s needs.
