Find experienced child care providers in Flora, MS

Hi! My name is Tanya. I’m a native Californian but I’ve lived in MS for over 25 years now. I love the slower pace of life here and the kindness and warmth of the people. I’m a mother myself, having raised a 14-year-old son. I served as a college administrator in Jackson for many years, after receiving a master’s degree and working toward a Ph.D. in French, and studying and working abroad. At this point in my life, I firmly believe that having a career as a nanny, preferably with infants, is my calling. I adore babies, having cared for newborns as young as 8 weeks old. I pride myself on providing loving, nurturing care while helping babies thrive as they develop cognitively, physically, and emotionally. I am extremely reliable, attentive, mature, an excellent communicator, and always provide a safe, supportive environment for the children in my care. With my near-native fluency in the language, I also love teaching children French from birth, as I did with my own son. I have been working as a professional nanny for over 3 years now, primarily with infants, including newborns and twins. I have received training in both Infant First Aid and Infant CPR.

My name is Kathy. I am a single 65 grandmother to a 4 year old boy. He is my heart. I love children and believe they are full of potential and possibilities. I have worked as Director of the Mothers Morning Out program in the 80’s when my son was two. I wanted him to enjoy the interaction with other children but didn’t want to put him in a full time program. I have taught Preschool, and Special Needs children at church. I worked with children 18 months to 5 years old at Holy Spirit Episcopal Day School. I am in great health and love to interact with children. I have been called a “child magnet” by my friends and family. I love to do arts and crafts with the children. I love the outdoors. I have reliable transportation and can work Mon-Sun and nights if needed, and some weekend days.

I also work at a preschool, where I’ve cared for up to 8 babies by myself, so I’m very comfortable with young children, keeping them safe, maintaining routines, and handling multiple children at once. I truly love working with kids and would be happy to answer any questions you may have or provide more information about my experience! 😊

I was a child care director for over 5 years I have worked with all ages 6weeks to 18 years olds. I have had the privilege of working with children in various capacities, which has greatly enriched my understanding of their developmental needs and interests. My experience began as a volunteer at a local after-school program, where I assisted with homework help and organized recreational activities. This role taught me how to create engaging and educational environments that foster learning and creativity. I later took on a position as a camp counselor, where I planned and led activities that promoted teamwork and problem solving skills. Through these experiences, I learned to communicate effectively with children of different ages, adapting my approach to meet their individual needs and encouraging their self expression. Overall, my background has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the joys and challenges of working with young people, and I am committed to supporting their growth in a nurturing and positive manner.

My name is Aaliyah, I am from Flora, MS. I have always had a deep love for children, which has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Since I was about nine years old, I knew I wanted to work with kids. This dedication has only grown stronger over the years. I am a graduate from Alcorn State University, with a degree in Human Development and Family Science. I currently now attend Jackson State University to pursuing a Master's in Social Work. I am committed to making a positive impact in children's lives and advocating for their well-being. I worked at First Ridgeland Daycare from the spring of 2021 until the Spring of 2024, where I gained invaluable experience in childcare.

This has helped me develop a strong understanding of children's needs and behaviors. My coursework in Human Development and Family Science has equipped me with a solid understanding of child psychology and development stages. I am certified in First Aid and CPR but it has been a while so I will probably have to get a recertification! I excel in communicating with both children and parents, building trust easily and Working with children requires a lot of patience and empathy, qualities I have honored over the years.

I am a mental health therapist pursing graduate school to further my career in counseling. When I graduate, I hope to work with couples and individual counseling to help them with interpersonal problems. I absolutely love working with children! Helping with their early development and learning can positively shape children in so many ways. I am looking forward to meeting and working with families! I had the rewarding experience of teaching a former child I used to baby sit her alphabet, how to feed herself, and different entertaining and educational songs. She is now 6 years-old and a top student in her class. Feeling that I helped her development is most rewarding.
