A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Aleya, and I’m 25 years old. I hold an associate degree in social work and am currently trying to work toward my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. I also recently graduated from esthetician school and am studying for my licensing exam. I have a strong background working with children and caring for family members with disabilities. Since fourth grade, I’ve helped my aunt care for my cousin who has a disability, and I continue to support both her and my grandmother to this day. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and responsibility—qualities I bring into every childcare role. I truly enjoy being around children, creating a safe and positive environment for them, and helping others in any way I can. I recently became a behavioral technician working with kids with autism!!! Very great experience.

A little bit about me

I am thrilled to share my experience as a seasoned educator and trusted babysitter engaging with children from newborn to 12 years old. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of children's needs, interests, and learning styles through different education and leadership roles. Whether it is engaging in imaginative play, preparing healthy snacks, or learning through movement, I take pride in providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to thrive in. With my compassionate nature and passion for teaching, I am confident in my ability to make a positive impact on your child’s life.

I continue to maintain an active BLS Provider certification (CPR, First Aid & AED) and stay up to date on all vaccinations. I also own a personal vehicle that can be used for transportation.
