A little bit about me
My name is Snejana, and I'm originally from Ukraine. I came to the United States to find safety during the war in my country and now I'm excited to care for children I'm kind, responsible, and love creating a calm, happy environment where kids feel supported and understood. I grew up in the Ukrainian village town of Dzembronya in a very close, family-oriented home where helping with younger siblings and cousins was a normal part of life. Being around children has always felt natural to me, and I truly enjoy their curiosity, honesty, and energy. After moving to the U.S., I've gained a bachelors degree in early childhood education and now I'm ready for a new experience where l can combine my love for children with my passion for nature. I'm organized, and gentle, but also very energetic and playful. I love being outdoors, going on long walks, riding bikes, swimming, playing sports, and spending time in nature.

A little bit about me
I graduated from high school in 2023 and currently work as a CNA/caregiver, a role that has allowed me to combine my love for helping others with my passion for working with kids. Originally from Zimbabwe, I moved to Denver, Colorado, at a young age, and it’s here that I’ve built my life and career.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to make a positive impact on kids’ lives, and it’s been a rewarding experience ever since. I particularly enjoy working with special needs children, as it’s incredibly fulfilling to help them thrive and show them the amazing potential they have. I’m passionate about motivating kids and teaching them how much change they can bring to the world. Each day is a reminder of how powerful kindness, patience, and encouragement can be in shaping a brighter future.
