A little bit about me

My name is Farhiya but you can also call me Hamdi. I have always been around kids while growing up I was the oldest of 4siblings and my mom was always a busy hard working woman.when we all came back from school I always babysat my 4 younger siblings since I was 13 years old and I have always been around them all the time. I got so used to kids that I really can be around them for the longest. They could be doing all sort of stuff around me and it wouldn’t bother me. When it comes to babysitting there’s no limit for my experience. I’m familiar with all ages. I’m available for date nights, occasional babysitting, overnights, and dropping your kids at my place and caring for them there if you want to. Please feel free to reach out to me.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Aria. I’m 23 years old, an Ohio native, and currently looking for a part-time or full-time nanny position.

I have several years of experience working with children in both daycare and nanny settings. I previously worked as an infant teacher, where I cared for multiple infants at the same time, and I’ve also worked as a behavioral technician with children who have disabilities. I come from a large family, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life.

I’m very nurturing, patient, reliable, and comfortable working alongside work-from-home parents and around pets. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. I’m currently in school, have no children of my own, and spend my free time with my puppy.
