A little bit about me

hi everyone! my name is rida and a little bit about me is I have years of experience caring for children, starting with raising my own younger siblings, nieces, and nephews. I previously worked as a CNA, which helped me build strong skills in safety, patience, and responsibility, and I am also CPR certified. I babysat a little boy named Gabe from age 1 to 5 while his mom worked long hours, so I understand the trust and consistency families need. I’m currently a child development major, which helps me support children’s growth in simple, caring ways. I’m reliable, gentle, and truly love working with kids, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
