A little bit about me

My name is Santia, and I’m a dedicated early childhood educator with hands-on experience caring for and teaching young children. I currently work as a Pre-K 3 Teacher, and I previously worked as a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher, giving me experience supporting children through some of their most important early developmental years.
I’m comfortable creating a safe, fun, and structured environment where children can learn, play, express themselves, and feel supported. Through my classroom experience, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, communication, classroom routines, behavior support, early learning activities, and building positive relationships with children.
In addition to my education experience, I founded GRLTALK, a mentorship program that empowers young girls through confidence, leadership, and community.
I'm dependable, patient, nurturing, and families can trust me to provide attentive care.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My childcare and youth experience includes working with children and families across different ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I currently work as a Pre-K 3 Teacher and previously worked as a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher. I’ve also taught and supported students in Minnesota and the DMV area through education, mentoring, and youth development programs, including Peer Forward and nonprofit youth initiatives. Across these roles, I’ve provided hands-on care, supported learning and development, managed daily routines and behavior, and created safe, welcoming environments where children feel supported and valued.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a mix of fun, creative, and educational activities with children! My favorites include arts and crafts, reading, music and dancing, outdoor play, age-appropriate games, and hands-on learning activities. I also enjoy encouraging children to use their imagination, express themselves, and build confidence while having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is making children feel safe, cared for, and comfortable being themselves. Through my experience teaching Pre-K 3 and Kindergarten and working with children and youth in different settings, I’ve learned that every child is different and deserves patience, understanding, and genuine care. I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs while creating a fun and supportive environment for them. I also believe in building a trusting relationship with parents and keeping communication open so they feel confident knowing their child is in good hands.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting children with diverse learning, developmental, and behavioral needs through my work in inclusive classroom settings. In my last and current role, I support students in an ICT (inclusion) classroom and work alongside educators to provide individualized support, encourage participation, and create a welcoming environment where every child can learn and feel included. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting activities and routines to meet each child’s individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

While I haven’t worked as a nanny yet, one of my favorite moments working with children is seeing a child gain confidence in something they once struggled with. Whether it’s learning a new skill, opening up, or accomplishing something independently, I love being able to encourage children and celebrate those little wins with them. Those moments are a big part of why I enjoy working with children so much.

Akel H. - Seeking Work in Washington

Babysitter Available in Washington, DC: Akel H.

Hi, my name is Akel Harrington. I have basically 18 years worth of childcare experience due to me having four siblings on my mother side and four siblings on my father side and being the oldest on both sides I had to grow up helping my mother and my father with my siblings which also helped me gain the natural skill of helping out with children, which led to me doing three years of paid babysitting/childcare. I am also good with kids with special needs because I also have one sibling on my mother side who has autism and another one of my dad side who has autism.
