About Akea

Experience: 10 yrs

As a dedicated caregiver with a decade of experience, I am passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. With a background in education, including coursework in early child development, I bring both formal training and hands-on experience to my role. My patient, calm, and creative nature allows me to connect with children and provide a nurturing environment. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring their preferred method is followed, whether through written daily reports or regular updates via text or phone calls. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities that foster learning. I am also willing to assist with cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and travel. I am fluent in both Arabic and English, and I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment for your child.

We had a great experience with Akea while we were in Gulfport for a wedding! She came over a few days before the wedding to meet us and get to know our child. She was so thoughtful and brought some special books to read when she came back to babysit. She was very communicative and thoughtful - definitely recommend!
