Hello, my name is Kanisha. I am an experienced childcare provider with over 15 years of hands-on experience working with children of various ages and developmental needs. My background includes roles as a daycare assistant, private nanny, after-school program lead counselor, and caregiver at a behavioral health center. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and have completed professional training in child behavior, safety, social and emotional development, and emergency preparedness. Currently, I homeschool my 4-year-old daughter and am looking to care for additional children to support both their social and cognitive growth—alongside furthering my own growth as an educator and caregiver. While my goal is to create a shared learning environment with my daughter, I am also available for private and weekend care upon request. I hold an Associate Degree in Human Services, with additional coursework in counseling, child development, and psychology. My approach is nurturing, patient, and Read more grounded in strong values. I believe in building meaningful, long-term relationships with the families I work with, and I strive to offer dependable, high-quality care that supports each child’s unique needs. Please feel free to message me to learn more. I look forward to connecting with you and your family! Warm regards, Kanisha

Kanisha was wonderful. She instantly jumped in with our 2 boys and had a good connection with them right away. She was very professional and we highly recommend her.

Kanisha was great! She clearly has a lot of experience with kids. I felt very comforted by her questions about the kids routines and her making sure she knew every detail before we left the house. She even replaced a monitor so she could better see my baby while she was sleeping. Would definitely book Kanisha again.
