A little bit about me
Hi all! I am a professional chef and nanny with 10+ years of childcare experience, and 8+ years of both restaurant and private cheffing experience. I am familiar with Montessori and Waldorf modalities of early childhood education, and seek to spend as much time outdoors with the kids and youth I work with. Additionally, I love to bring kids into the kitchen, and offer opportunities for them to get their hands into the process of cooking. I spent two years working in the culinary industry in Italy, and speak conversation Italian. I would be thrilled to share the language with your kids.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Rikiya, but I also go by Kiya. I am 23 years old. I grew up in North Carolina taking care of my younger siblings and close family friends children since I was in 5th grade. Starting so young taught me patience, responsibility, and how to be a role model for children of all different ages. I truly believe it’s a privilege to care for someone else’s child, and I make it a priority to make sure that both parents and children feel comfortable, supported, and safe with me. I watched my mom struggle to find reliable sitters when she needed help for her 4 children, so I have a soft spot for families who are looking for someone they can trust. I would love the opportunity to help a family and provide dependable, caring support.
