My name is Yahaira, and I am 21 years old. I have a genuine passion for working with children and helping them grow, learn, and feel safe in a caring environment. I am patient, compassionate, and dependable, and I enjoy supporting children in their everyday needs while creating fun and meaningful experiences for them. I have hands-on experience caring for newborns as well as children with ADHD and autism, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, adaptability, and an understanding of each child's unique needs. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and trustworthy, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to every family I work with.
As a single mom, finding someone I can truly trust with my son is everything. She has been that person for our family, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s been with us now for 2 years. She cares for my son, who has complex support needs, and where she truly shines is in the relationship she’s built with him. She is patient, consistent, and genuinely warm — and for a child with complex needs, that kind of connection doesn’t come easily. She has earned his trust completely, and that matters more than anything else. She has gone above and beyond in ways that reflect her character — handling the unexpected with calm and grace, and showing up with real care every single time. I’ve trusted her in situations that required real judgment, and she has never let me down. She is also enrolled as a respite provider through OPWDD, which speaks to her professional commitment to this work. She isn’t just doing a job — she genuinely cares about the families she serves. If you are a family — especially one navigating complex needs — looking for someone who will truly care for your child, look no further. She is the real deal.
