A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Damaya, and I'm a 20-year-old college student currently attending Jackson State University. I absolutely love working with children and have been around kids my entire life. As the oldest of five siblings, I naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to truly connect with kids.
Outside of family, I've also worked with children in summer camps and other group settings, where l've learned how to keep kids engaged, entertained, and safe. I enjoy being creative, playful, and understanding - and kids naturally gravitate toward me just as much as I enjoy being around them.
I'm currently looking for a nanny opportunity that allows me to earn income while doing something l'm genuinely passionate about: helping children grow, learn, and feel cared for. I'm dependable, nurturing, and always bring positive energy into any environment.
