A little bit about me

My name is Quiana, and caring for children has always been at the heart of who I am. As a mother of eight — five of whom I fostered and later adopted — I’ve dedicated my life to providing love, stability, and support to children from all walks of life. Since beginning my foster journey in April 2019, I’ve cared for medically fragile children, those with autism, and deaf children, gaining deep experience and compassion for diverse needs. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m now seeking a position that allows me to continue doing what I love most — nurturing, teaching, and helping children grow in a safe and caring environment.
