A little bit about me
Creative and family-oriented, I hope to bring peace and positivity in all spaces I am brought into. Having lived all over the world during my adolescence granted me a unique ability to appreciate the necessary stability for young infants. My experience with developmental psychology, along with my massage training and my work and tutelage under Doulas has taught me to work with natural healing methods and has introduced to me a basic chemical understanding of many infant medicinal products. Excited to work along with your family!

Recent reference
"Una was punctual, kind, and my son loved working with her. She never came late, and always brought in so much positivity and enthusiasm into our home. She also was an amazing cook! My husband and I work in the food industry [coffee] and we'd come always come home to our son happy and asleep, a list of activities and his crafting and artsy projects piled on the table, and hot food on the stove. Definitely ask about the couscous and lemon chicken! She also is probably the calmest, most in-tune person I have ever met. I was worried about her being so young and working with our young son, but after one supervised visit I understood Una is an old soul with a real talent for children. She's going to be the best mother one day, but I'm glad to know she'll be working with other babies until then!"

Hi! I’m Aaishah/Aisha (easier to write it the second way), I’m 23 years old, I’m also Muslim. I would like for all my families to be aware that I do cover. It’s nothing serious but I understand everyone has a preference. I am a full time Med student during the hours 7am to 3:30pm, so I don’t work at the moment. I’m looking for something I could do after those hours to make a decent living from. I’m open to most questions so please don’t be shy to ask! I look forward to meeting all of you!

A little bit about me
My students call me Mr. Keny'e, and currently I'm a Registered Behavior Technician working in Behavioral Health. I model positive behaviors for children who require support in displaying appropriate conduct. It's a responsibility that has given me a great deal of patience and understanding in providing for the needs of a child. Something that would indeed transfer as a skill in work as a nanny, which I did not possess upon first applying to be a nanny some years ago. However, it is only now that I know I'm ready for such a position and understand the impact that I can have in the life of a child. So thank you for reading and hopefully I can assist in the guidance and nurturing of your child!
