Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am also a proud mother of two. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required. Currently, I am working part-time with two sisters, ages five and six. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, taking them to various activities, entertaining them, and preparing dinner when necessary. I am also currently working with a three-year-old girl who is speech-impaired and has some medical issues. My duties include feeding and changing her, as well as engaging her in activities, specifically puzzles and other exercises to improve her motor skills. I also assist with driving her to outside services and school.

Hello, I'm Kayla! With over 15 years of experience as a professional childcare provider, I take pride in my role as a loving and dedicated Auntie-like caregiver. My educational background includes a BA in Family & Consumer Studies from CUNY Queens College, which some might call Home Economics, but it has been invaluable in my caregiving journey. Being born and raised in Queens, NY, particularly in the Forest Hills neighborhood, has allowed me to develop strong connections with families and children. I firmly believe in adapting to the unique needs of each family and child, which has been crucial in forming and maintaining strong relationships. My attentiveness to their well-being is second to none, and I actively encourage them to be kind to themselves and others. Caring for every member of the family unit comes naturally to me, and I also have experience working with ASD children and other special needs. During my care, I prioritize the physiological well-being, safety, and security of the children. Nutrition is essential, and I ensure that they receive nutritious meals tailored to their dietary requirements. Safety is paramount, and I hold certifications in Basic Life Support training in case of emergencies. My ultimate goals while providing care are to foster love and a sense of belonging in the family, as well as promoting self-esteem in the children. For fun activities, I enjoy narrating books and engaging them in readings, participating in video games (even if not my first choice) to empower them to take the lead, and exploring arts and crafts. Trips to the park with friends and playing sports are also some of the enjoyable moments we share together. Regarding homework, I understand that it's not always a favorite task, but if parents want my support in enforcing a homework schedule, I'm more than willing to assist. At home, I encourage them to play their favorite tunes and enjoy music as a form of entertainment because, after all, music is awesome! In addition to my childcare expertise, I'm currently transitioning my career toward a nursing degree. This means I have some flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to work occasional hours during the day, evenings, and weekends. I'm excited about the opportunity to serve your family and create a safe and nurturing environment for your children. Wishing you a Happy New Year 2026, the year of the Horse, is sure to bring joy and happiness. Take care and be well!
