A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ahava (ah-hah-vah). I am originally from Skokie, a suburb of Chicago, and I live in Iowa City for school. I attend the University of Iowa to study nursing. Throughout my time here, I've learned so much about health and development. I currently work at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics as a nursing assistant where I provide hands-on care to patients receiving medical care from their providers. Throughout high school, I worked many jobs revolving around care for children, including babysitting, tutoring, coaching (gymnastics), working as an overnight camp counselor, or simply being an older sister.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out :)

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Student teacher, nursing assistant. gymnastics coach for ages 2-12, babysitting ages 8mo-15yr

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, writing, drawing, swimming, skating, sports, gymnastics, yoga, making silly putty/play dough, baking, cooking, watching movies

The most important part about being a nanny...

Caring for each child's unique needs while also interacting with them on a personal level. As a nanny, you're another caregiver and somebody that the child learns from.

My experience with special needs children...

Growing up, I knew many children with special needs. I interacted with children at school and summer camp. Throughout high school, I participated in buddy programs and grew to become close with many of these amazing kids. As a nursing student at the University of Iowa, I declared a minor in disabilities studies in order to enhance my patient care abilities. I hope to learn and adapt to the needs of these children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It was my last day before leaving for college seeing an 11-year-old whom I'd first met at the age of 7. She had just moved into a new home which had a pool in the back. She told me to get my suit on, through a pair of goggles at me and giggled her way out the door. I changed and walked outside to find her head deep in the pool swimming like a mermaid. Over the years as I'd grown up, so had she, but there we were, two mermaids all over again.

I'm currently a Registered Behavior Technician who works with autistic kids 2-6 years old. I have babysitting experience from as young as 10 months to about 12.
