Meet Ondraya
- Comfortable with pets
Hello! My name is Ondraya Edwards, and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with over 13 years of experience working with children in education, sports, and childcare services. I’ve worked as a nanny, tutor, and athletic coach, and have cared for children from infants to teen, including those with learning disabilities. I’m CPR/AED, First Aid, and Concussion Certified. I specialize in infant care, including: sleep training, transitioning to solids, and potty training, all with a gentle, Montessori-inspired approach that encourages independence, confidence, and early communication. In addition to childcare, I’m also available as a house manager. I can cook full meals for children or the entire family, assist with organizing the family schedule, handle light cleaning, and help keep the household running smoothly and efficiently. When it comes to my style, I’m all about balance. I love doing fun, creative things like outings, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and Read more building meaningful connections. At the same time, I take pride in helping children grow through structure, gentle discipline, and leading by example. I’ve had great success helping kids reduce screen time, make healthier choices, and build stronger emotional awareness—all without raising my voice. I always aim to create a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where kids can thrive. Looking forward to connecting!
