A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Raya and I am a senior at Texas Woman's University majoring in biology. I started my first job working with kids when I was 15, and six years later, I am still just as dedicated to being a reliable person parents can trust. I’ve worked in a variety of settings from daycares, private babysitting, play places and even a pediatric dental office. My main priority is being a safe and fun presence where your children feel comfortable and valued!

More About Me

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

I have roughly five years of experience which covers everything from high-energy birthday party venues and play places to volunteering and working in daycares. I’ve spent a lot of time babysitting for family friends, or families through agencies. Over the years I've learned how to handle many different personalities and situations. I’ve always loved working with kids and have remained in this field because I enjoy the impact I can make on their lives.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

As a biology major, I love bringing weekly science experiments like making slime or doing crafts that let kids create something hands-on and new. I’m very active and love taking kids on outings to parks, nature trails, or museums to explore the world around them. I also enjoy when kids teach me their own hobbies like new games or dances, and I’m always up for imaginative play like building forts or reading favorite books together. For the little ones, I find it so rewarding to help them learn and explore the world since there is so much cool stuff they have yet to discover. I always try to bring a fresh activity or a new craft to keep things exciting and help the kids learn while we play. I focus on making sure the kids are having fun and discovering something new every day.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, it’s having a balance between safety and fun. I want parents to have total peace of mind knowing their children are in capable, reliable hands while they are away. Being a nanny is more than supervision and requires being a mentor and a safe space where kids can be themselves, learn something new, and feel valued. I love knowing that I’m helping make a parent’s day a little easier while making a child’s day a lot brighter.

My experience with special needs children...

Through my work in a pediatric dental office and daycare settings, I have developed a lot of patience and adaptability. I understand that every child processes the world differently, and I’m experienced in tailoring my communication and play style to meet their specific emotional and physical needs. I focus on creating a low-stress, supportive environment where every child feels successful and understood.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There is nothing more rewarding than a child showing me a drawing or a craft they made specifically for me while I was away. It shows me that I’ve built a foundation of trust and that I’m making a genuine, positive impact on their daily lives.
