A little bit about me
Hello! I am a childcare professional with many years of experience with kids of all ages and in different environments.
I have a BA in Psychology and a Master's in Education from Northeastern University.
My first job was as a teacher in a 4th/5th grade classroom. Later, I worked as an art teacher for ages 3-12 at a Montessori School.
I spent summers as a nanny for a family with two children ages 2 and 4. I moved in with them after I left the Montessori school to help take care of the kids, and to help welcome and care for their third baby on the way. I lived with them for 2 years, caring for the youngest from the day she was born until she was almost 2 years old.
My childcare philosophy is grounded in structure and consistency. This does not mean no fun! I love imaginative play and creative projects, but at the end of the day, my job is to keep kids safe and to give them a structure they understand so they can thrive.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Malikah, and I’m 19 years old. I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 16, and caring for children has become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I'm currently a college student at Neumann University, where I’m pursuing a degree in nursing. Balancing school and nannying has taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of building strong, supportive relationships.
I truly love working with kids because every day brings something new and exciting. Children have such bright imaginations, genuine emotions, and honest perspectives that constantly inspire me. I enjoy helping them grow, learn, and navigate the world around them. Whether it’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, or simply listening to their stories, I find joy in being a positive and dependable presence in their lives.
