A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jada . I’m 22 & I love working with kids! It’s just so amazing that you can impact a child’s life in a way that they’ll potentially remember you for a lifetime. Being able to teach (and even learn from) children just makes you look at the world different.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Rala Ford and I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which has given me a strong foundation in understanding child behavior, communication, and positive reinforcement techniques. I've worked closely with children on the autism spectrum, helping them develop daily living skills, communication strategies, and emotional regulation.
Because of my ABA experience, I’m very patient, structured, and consistent—qualities that are important in any childcare setting. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and can thrive. I'm also attentive to individual needs and enjoy helping children reach their goals while having fun.
In addition to my behavioral experience, I’m dependable, organized, and proactive about keeping open communication with parents. I understand how important trust and reliability are in a nanny role, and I bring that same professional commitment to families I work with.
