A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jayana. I’m currently in nursing school and have a strong background caring for children of all ages. I previously worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for 2 years, where I supported infants and their families during some of their most important moments.
In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve also volunteered at COSI in the Little KidSpace, where I loved engaging with young children in creative play and hands-on science activities.
I am CPR and BLS certified and have a solid understanding of child development, safety, and age-appropriate care. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I’m comfortable managing multiple children at once.
I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment for kids to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or planning activities, I’m dedicated to making sure your little ones are well cared for.
