A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Damaya, and I'm a 20-year-old college student currently attending Jackson State University. I absolutely love working with children and have been around kids my entire life. As the oldest of five siblings, I naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to truly connect with kids.
Outside of family, I've also worked with children in summer camps and other group settings, where l've learned how to keep kids engaged, entertained, and safe. I enjoy being creative, playful, and understanding - and kids naturally gravitate toward me just as much as I enjoy being around them.
I'm currently looking for a nanny opportunity that allows me to earn income while doing something l'm genuinely passionate about: helping children grow, learn, and feel cared for. I'm dependable, nurturing, and always bring positive energy into any environment.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Jackson, MS: Janyla S.

I would be a strong fit for this role because I have a lot of experience caring for children, both personally and professionally. As the oldest of six children, with five little sisters, I have been helping take care of kids for most of my life. I understand how to be patient, calm, and dependable, especially when things are busy or stressful. I also worked at a daycare, where I learned how to keep children safe, follow daily routines, and create a positive environment for them to grow and feel supported. I take this kind of work seriously, and I always try to show kindness, respect, and understanding to every child in my care.
