About Naya

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi, I'm Naya! I'm a caring, dependable childcare professional with several years of experience working with children from infancy through the teenage years. I've worked as a nanny, childcare teacher, swim instructor, and special education substitute. I'm comfortable with infant care, routines, meals, activities, homework, transportation, and supporting children with developmental needs. My behavioral health background has strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I enjoy building trusting relationships with children and families while respecting their routines, values, and parenting style. I'm also completing my postpartum doula certification through DONA International and welcome families seeking newborn or postpartum support. I assist with newborn care, feeding support within my training, light household tasks, meal preparation, organization, and helping parents rest. I'm Basic Life Support (CPR/AED) certified and COVID vaccinated.

Naya was such a wonderful caregiver for our family. She cared for our two children, ages 3 and 7, and quickly became someone they were excited to see. She was incredibly patient with our youngest, who can be slow to warm up to new people, and she always found creative ways to keep both kids engaged. One thing I really appreciated was how dependable and organized Naya was. She helped with school pickup, prepared simple meals and snacks, assisted with homework, and kept the kids on their normal bedtime routine. One afternoon, she even turned a rainy day into an indoor “camping day” with blankets, books, and activities, which the kids talked about for days after. Naya communicated well with us throughout the day and always made sure we knew how things were going. She would even send cute pictures throughout the day, which made me feel close to my kiddos while I worked long hours. She was kind, responsible, and genuinely attentive to the children. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home and would absolutely recommend her to another family looking for a trustworthy caregiver.
