As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement Read more and support. I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.

Mikal worked for one whole week then disappeared. She disconnected her mobile and didn't return my email. We were genuinely concerned for her well being. A simple text (anything) would have been a decent thing to do.

Kel helped us out on weekdays for a month (Jan. 2022) when we were in a bind. She was wonderful and we really miss her! She was so patient with the kids (5 and almost 2) and kept them safe. She loved playing with them and knew how to set appropriate boundaries when their behavior slipped. She did very well sticking to their schedule and keeping them in their routine. My family greatly benefited from her help and the kids loved her. Her education background really came through in using different communication strategies and educational activities with the kids. I could tell she truly enjoys working with children. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her work with your child!
