A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Iyana!

I’m an 18 year old former preschool teacher’s aide and nanny with experience caring for children from infancy through kindergarten in both classroom and one on one settings. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and truly love helping children learn, grow, and build confidence.

My favorite part of childcare is getting to know each child’s unique personality. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

I enjoy planning crafts, sensory activities, baking, story time, music and movement, outdoor play, and educational activities that make learning fun.

I’m dependable, patient, and value strong communication with families. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where children can learn, laugh, and be themselves. I look forward to meeting your family! 💛

Assistant Teacher, Float Teacher, Nanny, Babysitting.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love engaging kids in a variety of fun and creative activities! Whether it's crafting, playing outdoor games, or reading their favorite books, I always try to keep things interactive and enjoyable. I’m a big fan of arts and crafts, baking, making colorful drawings or simple DIY projects. I also love playing games like tag, hide and seek, or organizing fun scavenger hunts. I want to keep kids entertained while also encouraging creativity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is making sure children feel safe, loved, and genuinely excited for our time together. I love being someone they can trust while also creating days filled with play, learning, creativity, and new experiences. I also really value communication with parents because I want them to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are happy and cared for while they’re away.

My experience with special needs children...

During my time as a preschool teacher’s aide, I gained hands on experience caring for two children with autism, as well as children who needed additional behavioral and emotional support. I have experience supporting sensory sensitivities, navigating challenging behaviors, using positive redirection, reinforcing safe behaviors, and helping children regulate during overwhelming moments. I always approach each child with patience and adapt my care to their individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are honestly when a child remembers an activity we did together and asks to do it again, proudly shows me something they made, or gets excited when I walk through the door. 🥹 I love knowing that I’ve become someone they feel safe, comfortable, and excited to spend their day with.
