A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Wafa Humeida, a 24-year-old Sudanese (Afro-Arab) woman who speaks English and Arabic. I come from a big family of five siblings, so caring for kids has always been a part of my life. I’ve worked with children since 2017 in daycares, tutoring, and classrooms. Since 2021 I’ve been a teacher assistant and substitute teacher with Loudoun County Public Schools. I’m a creative and aspiring artist ,music has always been a huge part of my life. I enjoy singing, songwriting, and playing instruments. I’m also a skateboarding instructor and active member of Grlswirl and Women on Wheels. I love staying active and inspiring others through skateboarding and music.I’m easygoing, quick on my feet, and easy to communicate with.Working with kids has always been incredibly fulfilling. Watching their growth academically, socially, emotionally, physically, etc, is one of the purest forms of true joy. I’m currently seeking a live-in opportunity to be part of a family’s daily life.
