A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Ayasha—most people call me Yaya. I’m a recent Bowie State University graduate with a bachelor's in Psychology. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids, which led me to spend the last seven summers working at a youth camp. There, I planned daily activities, helped with conflict resolution, led group games, and built strong, trusting relationships with children of all ages.

Being the older sibling in my family also gave me hands-on experience early on—I’ve helped care for babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. Whether it's keeping little ones engaged or supporting their emotional needs, I aim to create a positive, safe space where they feel comfortable and cared for.

I have also been a nanny on and off for about 4 years now, so I understand what to expect and how to create a safe, engaging, and dependable environment for children while maintaining open communication and consistency with parents.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part about being a nanny is building trust and creating a safe, loving space where a child can be their full self. It’s not just about watching them—it’s about showing up with patience, care, and consistency so they feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for every day

My experience with special needs children...

1 and a half years of experience with a 5-year-old autistic boy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was with a little girl at camp who barely spoke the first few days. We started making friendship bracelets together, and by the end of the week, she was laughing, playing, and even teaching the other kids how to make them too. Watching her come out of her shell and knowing I helped make her feel safe and seen—that meant a lot to me.
