Hello! My name is Ayse.
I am a preschool teacher graduate with 4 years of education and hands-on experience working with children from infancy to 9 years old, especially ages 3–5.

I truly enjoy spending time with children and supporting their growth through play-based learning, creative activities, and positive communication. I am patient, caring, and attentive, and I always prioritize children’s safety and emotional well-being.

I am CPR and First Aid certified and looking for a full-time nanny position where I can build a warm, trusting relationship with both the children and the family.

I am currently based in Turkey and open to relocating to the U.S. for the right family. I would love to become a reliable and long-term part of a family.

A little bit about me

My name is Isabela and I’m a graduate from Lincoln high school and I just moved to San Jose to attend college and do track and field. I’m 19 years old , I’m from Texas but I’ve been out in California for 5 years now. Two years ago I moved with my dad and my siblings, my dad worked a lot so I stayed home with them for about 5-6 hours everyday. I’ve watched my two brothers with special needs, one who is now 12 with Down Syndrome and the other who is now 8 with autism and my little sister who is now 4. I’ve watched them for about two years and I really enjoy watching kids. However they moved with my dad to San Francisco. I really love watching kids and miss spending time with them, I think it’s such a fun and heartwarming thing to do. I’m just trying to stay busy as a 19 year old in college, but all while enjoying what I’m doing. (I also took a child development class and learned a lot about infants, toddlers and teens and attended a kindergarten class as a teacher aid for 2 semesters)
