A little bit about me

Hello I’m Takeeya 25 years old I come from a huge family I have 14 siblings and I’m the oldest. I graduated in 2018. I’m cpr and first aid certified. I’ve been taking care of children since I can remember being the oldest I was a second mom to my siblings. Everyone trusted me with their children. It went from taking care of my brothers and sisters to cousins. Then one day I said hey I love kids and kids love me. I should get paid to do this. My first paid job was a non verbal special needs child. I taught him sign language, I’d cook, clean, create activities and provide a routine that would be just enough for him to be comfortable and not freak out. I’ve been self employed for some time and it can get really boring sometimes and I miss working.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is when I was taking care of twins ages 1 and for the life of me I couldn’t get the girl to smile at me play with me or even talk to me. One day I noticed that she loved me Rachel. So I decided to sing a silly song for her. When I did she laughed sooo hard and kept staring at me so I can sing the song over and over again.
