Hi, I'm Kanika! I'm a loving, patient, and dependable mom with years of hands-on childcare experience. I'm married and the proud mother of a wonderful 9-year-old son. After my son was born in 2017, I became a stay-at-home mom and dedicated my time to raising and caring for him. When he was diagnosed with autism at age 3, I gained valuable experience learning to understand and support a child's individual needs with patience, compassion, and consistency. When my son turned 5, I returned to work at First United Methodist Church. I currently work in the Parents Morning Out (PMO) program, caring for newborns through age 2, and I have also worked with the church's preschool program with children ages 2-4. I also babysit for the pastor's assistant's baby and other families in the church community. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can feel comfortable.
Kanika has cared for both of my sons, including my neurotypical and neurodivergent child, and I have always felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is patient, loving, attentive, and truly takes the time to understand each child’s individual personality and needs. My boys are comfortable around her, and I appreciate how dependable and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend Kanika to any family looking for someone they can trust with their children. ❤️
