Hi! I'm Havva, originally from Turkey and living in the U. S. since 2018. I've always had a passion for caring for children - from helping raise my younger sibling and cousins to volunteering at an elementary school during university. I have several years of experience with infants, especially ages 0 to 14 months. I'm confident with diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap and play routines, and supporting the transition to solid foods, including baby-led weaning. I love taking little ones outside for fresh air and gentle play. I believe every child is unique and deserves loving, thoughtful care tailored to their needs. I look forward to supporting your family and helping your baby thrive!
Havva has been an amazing presence in our lives! She's been with us for a year, caring for our son (now 23 months) M-Th. We feel like Havva loves our son as her own, and their relationship is so special. Our son loves to be outside, and she takes him out every day, even in the rain and snow. Havva is patient and understanding with him. She meets him exactly where he is, while calmly and firmly holding boundaries when needed. Havva gives us regular updates, and as our son has gone through new phases, she's been proactive about making sure we're all aligned in our approach. Havva is genuinely interested in child development and stays up-to-date on current research and trends. She is reliable and punctual. When we've needed her to shift her hours or stay late, she's done so without hesitation. All of our family and friends who have met Havva comment on how sweet and fun she is. We wish we could keep Havva with us forever, and we are going to miss her dearly!
