Hi! I’m Lamya (luh-my-uh) or just Mya for short, and I’ve been babysitting since I was young. My cousins and younger brother were my first “clients,” and it’s grown from there! I’m currently a paraprofessional with Chicago Public Schools, working with kindergarteners and kids with autism, but have also worked with 2nd grade up to 4th grade, and I’m also earning my degree in elementary education (graduating spring 2026!). Working with kids is truly my passion! I love watching kids grow, learn, and be their amazing little selves. Whether it’s exploring new places, reading stories (I have a whole bookshelf of kids’ books ranging from picture books to graphic novels), or just playing games, I’m always ready to make things fun and also safe. I’m a huge Disney and Marvel fan too. My Experience & Skills: -Paraprofessional for Chicago Public Schools for 2 years so far. -Years of babysitting for Read more family and friends -Experience working with kids of all abilities, including those with autism -CPR certified -Love reading and finding creative activities to keep kids engaged -I worked at Disney World, so I know how to make every day a bit more special! Looking forward to meeting your family and helping however I can!
