A little bit about me

Hello Families,

My name is Sarafna, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones! With nearly 10 years of experience working with children from infancy through elementary age, I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

As an Early Childhood Educator currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, I bring both professional experience and a genuine love for helping children reach their full potential. Whether it's supporting developmental milestones, planning fun activities, assisting with homework, or simply providing loving care, I strive to treat every child as if they were my own.

I am available for weekends, holidays, before and after school care, and may be available for full-time opportunities as well. I look forward to connecting with families who are seeking a dependable, patient, and caring nanny.

Warmly,
Sarafina Young

More About Me

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

I have nearly 10 years of experience working with children ranging from infancy through elementary school age in both classroom and individual care settings. As a teacher at an Early Learning Center, I have supported children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through hands-on learning experiences, positive guidance, and nurturing relationships. My experience includes working with children of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and learning styles, including children with autism and other developmental differences. I am passionate about creating safe, engaging, and inclusive environments where children feel valued, confident, and supported as they learn and grow.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in a variety of fun, educational, and age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and exploration. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, sensory play, reading stories, outdoor adventures, music and movement, imaginative play, and hands-on learning experiences. I also enjoy supporting children’s social-emotional development through games, conversations, and activities that build confidence, friendships, and self-expression. My goal is to create meaningful experiences that are both enjoyable and enriching while helping children learn and grow.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most rewarding part of being a nanny is building meaningful relationships with children and their families while having the opportunity to positively impact a child’s growth and development. I love watching children learn new skills, gain confidence, and discover the world around them. Being a trusted, caring presence in a child’s life and celebrating their milestones—big and small—is what makes this work so fulfilling. Knowing that I can help create a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can thrive is what I enjoy most about being a nanny.

My experience with special needs children...

Throughout my childcare and early childhood education career, I have had the privilege of working with children with a wide range of learning needs, abilities, and developmental differences, including children on the autism spectrum. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and individualized support to help each child thrive. I strive to create an inclusive, nurturing environment where children feel safe, understood, and valued while supporting their unique strengths, communication styles, and developmental goals. By building strong relationships and adapting activities to meet individual needs, I help children gain confidence, independence, and a love for learning.
