I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on children's lives while fostering their growth and creativity. Watching them explore the world, learn new things, and develop their personalities is incredibly rewarding. I find joy in creating fun, engaging activities that not only entertain but also support their development. In terms of experience, I’ve worked with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. I've supported families with daily routines, educational activities, and special needs, tailoring my approach to meet each child's unique needs. As for skills and training, I’m certified in CPR and first aid, which gives me peace of mind while caring for kids. I also have training in child development and positive discipline techniques. I’m always eager to learn more and stay updated on best practices in childcare. Building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families is a top Read more priority for me!

Jahiyrah was on time, polite and did very well with my 3 children (2, 4, & 7). I was surprised at how well she handled all their energy and craziness. I definitely recommend her for any sized family. I will be working with her again!
