Experience: 20 yrs
For the past 20 years, I have found immense joy in nurturing children's development and positively impacting their lives. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with kids. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages. I have some college experience, along with First Aid Training, CPR Training, Early Childhood Education (ECE), Child Development Associate (CDA), Early Child Development Coursework, and NAFCC certification. I am also available for travel. I would love to partner with your family to provide exceptional care for your children.
We absolutely loved our time with Khalida. All three of our children spent time in her care, and although they are now together in elementary school, Khalida remains like family to us. Even now, we still visit because our kids adore her and often ask to go see her—and, of course, to play with all her toys. From the very beginning, we were drawn to her warmth. During our interview, we met two of her children, who were kind, polite, and genuinely engaged with the kids. Seeing the children she had raised spoke volumes about the loving, respectful environment she creates. Her setup is wonderful: an inviting indoor play space, a covered porch, an outdoor porch, and a separate area for sleeping. There’s also a playground across the street, and she regularly took the kids on neighborhood walks. She maintains a consistent routine, and our children came home each day singing new songs and proudly showing off the artwork they had created. Having experienced daycare centers before, we especially appreciated Miss Khalida’s balance of warmth, structure, and organization. She takes her role seriously and was always thoughtful and communicative about our preferences and any concerns, from sleep schedules to food and potty training. Khalida is truly a special find, and we are incredibly grateful for the genuine, loving care she provided our family. We recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking exceptional childcare.
