A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Avaya Caron, and I’m a 19-year-old from Troy, Michigan. I’m currently attending Taylor University, a small private Christian college, where I’m continuing to grow both academically and personally.
I’ve always loved being around kids and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I have three younger siblings, have babysat for many families over the years, and during my senior year of high school, I regularly cared for a family during the week. While at school, I also help a professor by watching his four children, which has strengthened my ability to manage multiple kids and different age groups at once.
I’m comfortable working with children of all ages and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I would love the opportunity to nanny for your family this summer during weekdays, build a relationship with your kids, and support your family in any way I can.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect with you!
