A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Amiyah, I’m 24 & currently in the RDU area.My career in childcare started in 2019, the youngest being from 2 months to 4 years old. I have been a nanny, to being a lead teacher for infants, 1 years olds and toddlers at great 5 star day cares. I’ve had the experience to work them all. I am both CPR and SIDS certified, I absolutely love watching and being involved in how a child’s mind grows, it’s absolutely amazing and heart warming that you know you were an impact on that child’s life. I am very reliable & responsible and so glad to have many families to say so as well, I look forward to working for an amazing family, contribute what all I have learned from working in day cares and become apart of a village.

A little bit about me
I have a CNA license (Certified Nurse Assistant) and have been working with elderly people in all kinds of situations for four years. It requires ultra-responsibility and reliability, good judgement, genuine helpfulness, a cheerful attitude, and lots of hands-on personal care (dressing, diaper-changing, assistance with pull-ups, preparing meals, handwashing, health hygiene...) Along with TONS of kindness and patience!
[ Worked with with top Triangle retirement community -- required a flawless criminal background check, clean driving record, drug tests, TB tests, excellent health.]
But, due to natural losses, it's becoming too sad. Looking for change!
I love children. Especially imaginative, lively and curious ones!
Have assembled a lot of high-quality, classic books, toys, and activities to bring!
An experienced homeschooler, I really enjoy reading with young ones, introducing middle ones to good literature, and tutoring older ones. (SAT Prep? Essay writing? Early start can be fun!)
