A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Rhyca, a student at the University of Alabama studying to become a Pediatric Physician Assistant. I have several years of experience working with children through nannying, summer camps, youth programs, and volunteer work both locally and abroad. I currently work with children as a YMCA camp counselor and have cared for kids of various ages in both group and one-on-one settings.

I am responsible, energetic, patient, and genuinely love building meaningful relationships with the children and families I work with. Whether it’s helping with activities, keeping kids engaged and active, assisting with routines, or simply creating a fun and safe environment, I always strive to be someone parents can trust and children look forward to spending time with.

My goal is to make life easier for parents while providing attentive, dependable, and positive care for their children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

making sure the kids feel comfortable and are having a good time and safe while I’m there with them!

My experience with special needs children...

Through my experience working as a YMCA camp counselor and caring for children in group settings, I have had the opportunity to work with children of varying abilities and support needs. I am patient, adaptable, and committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where every child feels safe, respected, and encouraged. While I am always continuing to learn, I am comfortable following parents’ guidance and routines to best support each child’s individual needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was watching a child gain confidence in something they had been struggling with. After spending time encouraging them, practicing with them, and celebrating their progress, seeing how proud they were of themselves was incredibly rewarding. Moments like that remind me why I love working with children—not just because they’re fun and energetic, but because I get to be a positive influence in their growth, confidence, and everyday lives.
