Hi! I'm Saniya, a Lead Early Preschool Teacher with 4 years of professional childcare experience caring for children from infancy through age 14. I am CPR/First Aid certified, CDA certified, hold a Gateways ECE Credential, and am currently completing my Associate Degree in Child Development. As a lead teacher, I create engaging learning experiences, manage daily routines, and encourage learning through play in a safe, nurturing environment. I have extensive experience supporting children with autism and other developmental differences and pride myself on being patient, calm, and adaptable to each child's unique needs. Families describe me as warm, dependable, energetic, and trustworthy. Whether you need occasional babysitting, recurring care, date nights, or overnight care, you can feel confident knowing your child is in experienced and caring hands.
My son absolutely adores Ms. Saniya. Every day when I pick him up, he has a new story about something fun he learned, a game they played, or something Ms. Saniya helped him accomplish. It is clear that she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply about each child in her classroom. Ms. Saniya is engaging, patient, and incredibly nurturing. She creates an environment where children feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. I've watched my son grow in confidence, communication skills, and independence since being in her class. The positive impact she has had on him has been remarkable. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is spending their day with someone who truly sees and values them. We are so grateful for Ms. Saniya and the dedication, warmth, and enthusiasm she brings to teaching every day.
