A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Quiya Johnson, and I would love the opportunity to work with your family as a nanny. I have experience caring for children of different ages and truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe, loving environment.

I am also a certified therapist for children with autism 🧩

I’ve always had a natural connection with kids, and families often describe me as patient, dependable, and caring. I believe in making every day fun and positive while also being responsible and attentive to a child’s needs. I’m a naturally happy, loving person who enjoys creating meaningful bonds and bringing joy into the lives of the children I care for.

I’d love the chance to get to know your family better and see how I can be a wonderful fit for your child’s daily life.
