Hi! I'm Jaya, a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania studying psychology and counseling. I plan on pursuing a career in therapy working with children and love creating a supportive, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and understood. I have 3 years of experience nannying and working with children ages 2-16, including children with special needs. I've worked as an ABA Behavior Technician, in-home therapist, and nanny, supporting children with communication, social-emotional, and daily living skills, as well as homework, meals, routines, and play. I'm caring, patient, responsible, and enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and interests. I'd be happy to provide references from previous families and would love to connect and learn more about your childcare needs!
Jaya is an exceptional caregiver who looked after my two boys with the utmost care, treating them as if they were her own children. Her level of maturity is unmatched for her age, which was clearly evident in her daily interactions. She consistently used wonderful language and effectively helped the boys work through their feelings. Because she was always bubbly and positive, I saw an instant, noticeable change in their behavior. I completely trusted her with their safety, allowing her to drive them and take them around town. We are all deeply saddened that she is leaving to attend grad school, and the boys will miss her so much.
