A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Julia, and I’m 22!
I’m the oldest in my family and have three siblings. My little brother is on the spectrum, and is my best friend. He has learning and developmental issues, so I do have quite a lot of personal experience with children on the spectrum. I also have two younger sisters, one who is very shy, and has a hard time making friends, and the other with a severe learning disability. I’m able to help with homework, and also help your kids learn social skills. I know school is hard, making friends is hard, and liking yourself is hard. I think it’s important to remind kids to love who they are, and whatever struggles they are having doesn’t make them any less awesome! (that’s often what I tell my siblings) I don’t have any paid nannying experience, but a lot of personal experience. I’m also really good with infants. I watch my cousins toddler and 6 month old whenever I’m able. I am not CPR certified, but I can 100% go get that if that makes you more comfortable!!!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samaya, and I’ve been caring for children since I was about 16 years old. I have experience with kids of all ages from infants to pre-teens and I genuinely love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow.

I’m currently pursuing a career in nursing, and my passion for caregiving is a big part of what draws me to working with families. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I take pride in being dependable, patient, and engaging with the kids I care for.
