A little bit about me
I’m a compassionate childcare professional with a deep commitment to nurturing children through emotionally attuned, developmentally informed care. My background spans nanny experience, private preschool education, behavioral support, and trauma-informed coaching, allowing me to support children not only academically and behaviorally, but holistically.
I have experience as a private preschool teacher and possess a strong foundation in early childhood development, with a particular passion for helping children build emotional intelligence, confidence, curiosity, and healthy attachment. I believe childhood is not simply a stage to manage, but a sacred season to cultivate with patience, structure, warmth, and intentionality.
In addition to my childcare experience, I am neurodivergent friendly. I understand that every child processes the world differently, and I strive to create environments where children feel emotionally safe, understood, respected, and empowered to thrive.

A little bit about me
HI ! My name is Cy Larks. I am 20 years old, a sophmore pre law major at Howard University. I am originally from Los Angeles, California, but am living bi-coastal due to school. I absolutely adore kids. I have been nannying since I was around 15 years old, hosting summer camps with my older sister, babysitting my many little cousins, and looking after kids for family friends routinely throughout high school. I love to cook and be active. I have played volleyball since I was 10, and still do !! I cook all of my meals, I am passionate about nutrition, and I will make sure kids get all the nutrients their bodies need. I also have experience in tutoring kids and helping out with schoolwork or any extracurricular activities. I am also a very organized person; my room remains spotless, and I strongly believe in cleanliness. I can't wait to meet you and start sitting.
