Nanny Chrystal

3 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi – My name is Chrystal, and I offer child care services.

I have about 3 years of experience working with children with autism and various backgrounds in the classroom setting. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported.

I enjoy photography and engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, etc. I also drive and am happy to help with school pickups and activities as needed.

Please note that I’m allergic to cats and have a fear of large dogs, so I prefer pet-free homes or those where pets are secured.

Nanny Aziyah

1 year experience

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.
