A little bit about me

I'm a career nanny with over 15 years of experience. I have also been a licensed therapeutic foster parent for 5 years, and am a mom myself to school age children. My goal is to care for all children as if they are my own, because I know that’s what I want when others are caring for mine!

My own children have attended Montessori schools, which has given me a real appreciation for play-based, hands-on learning. When I’m caring for children, we spend a lot of time reading, singing, and playing outside whenever the weather allows, along with hands-on activities like sensory play, water play, and crafts.

I avoid screen time for the kids in my care and make a point of staying off my own phone while working - I am not a sitter who will park your child in front of the tv while I scroll social media!

Looking forward to connecting with your family!

More About Me

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience caring for and teaching children, teens and adults with physical and developmental disabilities of all kinds, as well as developmentally typical children. I'm also a parent to three AuDHD children of my own who are all school age. Additionally, my husband and I have been licensed therapeutic foster parents since 2021.

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone prepared to handle your child's extra needs, and even harder to find someone who will love them like their own. That's exactly what I aim to offer.

Fatamh A. - Seeking Work in Charlotte

Live-In Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Charlotte, NC: Fatamh A.

Hi! I’m Fatamh, pronounced like Fatima, but you can call me Moon. I’m 20 and I’ve lived in the U.S. since I was nine, after moving here from Yemen. I’ve always enjoyed making a home feel warm and comfortable. Growing up, I helped my mom and spent a lot of time looking after my younger siblings, so children have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for children from infants to teenagers and have also spent about two years helping a family in their home, including caring for their baby for about a year. I’m patient, creative, and love painting, drawing, writing, baking, and cooking. I enjoy doing creative activities with children and helping them feel comfortable and understood. I’m also happy to help with children’s laundry, simple meals, and light housekeeping. I’m looking for a respectful, long-term live-in position and am open to relocating for the right family. I’d love to meet you and learn more about your family! 😊
