A little bit about me
I am a patient, highly organized, and dependable professional care provider specializing in creating structured, positive, and engaging environments for children. My background combines extensive private in-home childcare and household management with professional experience in behavior analysis. While I am fully skilled in providing specialized support for children with diverse developmental needs and disabilities, my primary focus is delivering high-quality, comprehensive nanny care, routine coordination, and educational activity planning for traditional households. I hold a fully cleared background check and am immediately available to dedicate my skills to a live-in position as a supportive extension of your family.

"Jay Johnson was employed as in-home respite care to my child who is Autistic and has ADHD. At the time, my child was minimally verbal communicating, speaking via an AAC device.
Ms. Johnson actively engaged in pretend play with my child, drawing and painting during craft time. She created obstacle course stations in our backyard so my child could enjoy being outside while practicing motor development skills.
Ms. Johnson also assisted my child when using the restroom.
Ms. Johnson was so patient, kind and caring with my child. They sat and ate every snack and lunch together. It can be challenging to find a person who genuinely wants to come work with a child who (was) non-verbal. My child would squeal to see Ms. Johnson, always run to give her a hug.
I am happy to recommend Ms. Johnson for any one-to-one or nanny position. We slowly decreased respite care hours as our therapy hours increased during the week, eventually leading to weekend support, approximately eight hour shifts."

"Chicara was my son’s caretaker for approximately a 1.5 years. Chicara is a very sweet woman, who loves children. My son thrived under her care. Chicara would go above and beyond assisting, not only with my child’s activities of daily living as required, but also assisted with his cognitive development. Chicara would work with him daily and his progress from the one on one assistance was exceptional. I was extremely sad to loose Chicara; however, her services were no longer needed due to age, school, and after school sports. Chicara always presents herself professionally with impeccable communication and listening skills. Chicara is honest and straightforward with expectations needed on behalf of all parties. Chicara seemed to always be organized and focused on the tasks set daily. I cannot say enough good things about Chicara and know you will be blessed to have her."

"My two grandsons were taken care of by nanny Janet. She worked for about 3 years with my family while my daughter stayed with my husband and me. When their house in another State was ready, they moved out. We always remember the joy of having Janet with us! Maybe one day our paths will cross again! G.D bless this woman!"

"She was wonderful with my daughter. She bought toys to help them with her motor skills, books to read to her to help her learn words, numbers, shapes, and colors. She was there through tummy time, feeding time, play time and nap time. She basically was my helping hand through everything. She was like family. She cared for my daughter and her growth and helped her reach developmental milestones. She helped with light household chores such as loading my daughter’s dishes into the dishwasher, doing my daughter’s laundry and helped pick up toys both before and with my daughter once she was old enough to learn to do so on her own. When my daughter was older she did school pick up and drop off and took her to activities. She watched my daughter during the days during school vacation and took her to the park, to the pool, etc. she was an like a big sister to my daughter and I’ll be forever grateful for her coming into our lives when she did. I highly recommend her."
