A little bit about me

My name is Raya, and I am graduating in May from Colorado Christian University with my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I’m originally from Arizona, and I bring a warm, energetic spirit to everything I do. I’ve spent the past four years nannying for multiple families, which has strengthened my passion for working with children and supporting their growth. Outside of academics and childcare, I played college golf, an experience that taught me discipline, patience, and perseverance. I’m also engaged and excited to be getting married next December! Overall, I’m dedicated, reliable, and genuinely love creating positive, supportive environments for the kids and families I work with.

More About Me

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

As an education major and former athlete, I’ve had extensive experience working with children of many different ages through babysitting, childcare, and educational settings. I’ve cared for children from multiple families and age groups, which has taught me how to adapt quickly, stay organized, and meet each child’s individual needs. My background in education has helped me understand child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate expectations.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love staying active with kids — playing outside, doing sports, going on walks, and encouraging movement in fun, positive ways. I also enjoy balancing that with quieter activities like reading, crafts, games, and helping with homework or learning activities. Being an athlete has taught me how to motivate kids, build confidence, and encourage teamwork while still making things fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

In my opinion, the most important part of being a nanny is being someone children can trust and feel safe with. I believe in providing structure, encouragement, and consistency while also being fun, caring, and supportive. Building strong relationships with both the children and their families is something I take seriously and truly value!

My experience with special needs children...

My father is a special education teacher and I grew up going to summer school with him, learning how to help them and their overal life experience. Through my education coursework and hands-on experience, I’ve worked with children who have different learning abilities and behavioral needs. I’m patient, adaptable, and attentive, and I understand the importance of consistency, clear communication, and meeting children where they are. I focus on creating a supportive environment where every child feels understood and capable.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are when I see children gain confidence. Whether it’s learning a new skill, becoming more independent, or feeling proud of themselves after trying something new it is my favorite thing to see! Watching kids grow emotionally, academically, or physically is incredibly rewarding and reminds me why I love working with children so much.

Trinitee S. - Seeking Work in Avondale

Babysitter Available in Avondale, AZ: Trinitee S.

hey!! my name is trinitee and people describe me as a leader. I thrive on community and always making sure people are taken care of, while making sure I fill my cup daily with positivity. I like changing someone’s day with encouraging words of relatability; people like people they can genuinely relate too. Children are the future and when you change their perspective on things, overstand them, and relate to them, they are truly able to be themselves.

Life is so fun when you love yourself, it’s wholesome, it’s peaceful. I want to be able to share my gifts, especially with the future. We need more people that are authentic, it heals the world.

When you’re nice to yourself, you’re nice to other people.
