A little bit about me
I've worked in child care as a nanny and teacher for 13 years and can say I've truly found my passion in life. Nothing makes me happier than helping children foster their independence and confidence.
Whether working through structured academic activities or riding the Pink line to explore the National Museum of Mexican Art, I'm always intentional about making every moment a teachable moment.
I'm also an artist with my Masters in Creative Writing and love exposing kiddos to all kinds of books, music, and art!

A little bit about me
I am currently looking for babysitting or nanny positions where I can provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. As an elementary education major, I am especially interested in roles where I can help with learning activities, homework support, and overall development while building strong relationships with families. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages. I value creating a structured yet fun atmosphere where kids feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. As a God-fearing individual, I lead with kindness, respect, and integrity, and I am committed to being a reliable, positive caregiver.

Hey, my name is kimiya I am 18 years old , I’m the eldest of 5 and naturally kids love me and I love them . I am very responsible and take all of my responsibilities seriously - I come from a very big family and we stand on morals , loyalty and love . No I do not have paid experience but I have experience enough to treat all as if they were mine because I would want the same for me , aside from that . I am an easy-going person I enjoy cooking and i definitely don’t mind cleaning I’m very fun but I can still be very serious in a good way I’m all for trying new things and I’m ready to see how being a nanny will be for me in the near future .
