A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Aziyah, and I’m a sophomore at Howard University majoring in Speech Language Pathology in a 5 year accelerated master’s program. I am very passionate about helping others find their voice, especially because I know what it feels like to have your voice overlooked or minimized. I love working with children and truly enjoy being part of their growth and development. It is very rewarding to watch them learn, build confidence, and express themselves. I am patient, caring, and attentive, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Outside of academics, I play volleyball, love to dance, and enjoy problem solving and math. I am also a big music fan and love any kind of music that tells a story, which is why I enjoy musicals so much. A fun fact about me is that my favorite color is lavender, my favorite number is 6, and I am a Sagittarius. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive, encouraging presence in your child’s life.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Jaiden and I am 15 years old and currently a freshman going into sophomore year. At first i’m a little quiet because I tend to get nervous but once you get to know me I open up more. I’m looking for a nanny job during the summer as something to do and to make some money. I like books, music, baking, cooking and more. I might be young but one thing I always get told is I have a good head on my shoulders, so don’t let my age stop you from trusting me with your child. I can create a safe, stimulating, and fun environment for your child, I can also do other things like clean around the house, walk or feed any animals your have as I have many animals myself. I speak English, Spanish and a bit of Portuguese as I understand more than I speak, I can help and teach your child these languages as well as help with homework like science, ela and math. Thank You for taking the time to read this and I hope to be one of your options <3!
