Hello! I recently moved out of New York City leaving my job in childcare (ages prek-8th) of 3 years. Now I am back in school, training to become a Pilates teacher and generally have a flexible schedule. I loved working with the kids, and the emotional reward of impacting their small lives. In addition to my professional experience in childcare, I also have always had young kids in my family to look after. I want to be a mom myself one day, but until then, I will pour my love, nurture, and attention to others. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi, I’m Sofia, a nursing student with dreams of becoming a midwife (Currently attend Virginia Wesleyan University). I adore kids and have plenty of experience caring for toddlers, thanks to my own sibling and numerous family members. From running around outside to getting creative with painting and drawing, I love finding fun activities to share with children. My adaptable nature helps me connect with kids of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, empathetic, and always ready to spark joy and foster growth. Creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive is my priority.

My name is Jeyda, and I’m so grateful that you’re taking the time to learn a little about me. I’ve always felt like caregiving is a calling — not just something I do, but something that’s a part of who I am. I grew up in a big, close-knit family where helping with the little ones came naturally. I was the cousin who could always be found rocking a baby to sleep, calming a tantrum, or organizing games in the living room. Over the years, I realized how much joy it brings me to be someone a child feels safe with — someone they can laugh with, lean on, and trust. That love for caregiving turned into real experience when I began babysitting for families in my community and later worked at a preschool called The Learning Experience. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and older kids, and I’ve also had the chance to support children on the autism spectrum — which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and the beauty of seeing the world through different perspectives. What matters most to me as a caregiver is building a connection. I want every child I care for to feel heard, valued, and genuinely loved. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and lots of encouragement. Whether we’re singing songs during snack time, exploring outside, or navigating big feelings together, I’m there to support not only the child, but you as a family too. Right now, I’m studying to become a labor and delivery nurse — a path that reflects how deeply I care about people, especially in their most important and vulnerable moments. I’m also certified in CPR and First Aid for both infants and adults, so safety is always a priority in everything I do. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be another set of hands — I want to be someone who makes your child feel special, safe, and celebrated. If I sound like someone who could be a good fit for your home, I’d love the chance to get to know you and your family better”.
