A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Javen, a 19-year-old junior at UTSA majoring in Psychology with over 3 years of hands-on childcare experience and certification as a childcare worker through DFPS. I’m also pediatric and adult CPR and first aid certified. My goal is to become a pediatric and elementary psychologist, so caring for and supporting children isn’t just a job to me—it’s the career I’m building toward. I’m patient, dependable, energetic, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and valued. I enjoy helping with homework, planning engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and being a positive role model. While male nannies may be less common, I take pride in providing compassionate, trustworthy care and building strong relationships with both children and parents. I understand the importance of communication, reliability, and safety, and I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can count on!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I've worked with children for over 3 years in childcare, caring for kids of different ages and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising daily activities, helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing educational and creative activities, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, positive environment. As a Psychology major at UTSA, I understand the importance of supporting children's emotional, social, and cognitive development while building trust with both children and parents.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy planning activities that are both fun and educational, including arts and crafts, outdoor games, sports, reading, baking, puzzles, board games, science experiments, imaginative play, and helping with homework. I love encouraging creativity, curiosity, and confidence while making sure children are having fun in a safe and engaging environment. I also enjoy limiting screen time by keeping kids active and involved.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a sate, loving, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I believe great childcare goes beyond supervision-it's about building trust, encouraging growth, communicating with parents, and being a positive role model. My goal is to help children feel supported while giving parents peace of mind that their child is in caring and capable hands.

My experience with special needs children...

While my experience with children who have special needs is limited, I'm patient, compassionate, and always willing to learn each child's unique needs and routines. My background in psychology has given me a strong understanding of child development, and I'm committed to providing individualized care while working closely with parents to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and included.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments is seeing a child become excited about learning something new or accomplish something they were proud of after working hard. Watching their confidence grow and knowing I played a small part in their development is incredibly rewarding. Building those genuine relationships and earning a child's trust is what makes childcare so meaningful to me.
