Hi! I'm Isis, an elementary educator, published author, and part-time Mary Poppins! I've taught kindergarten in Atlanta Public Schools and Dallas ISD, and volunteered in Cuba, Guatemala, and Colombia. I was jokingly voted "Silliest Teacher" and more seriously named Innovative Educator of the Year for boosting reading scores through music, games, and play. But it's never been about awards! It's about giggles, sticky hands, and big questions about clouds and bugs. Kids are magic, and we all need more magic! As an adult with ADHD, I understand wonderfully nonlinear minds and believe there's no such thing as a "bad" child-only kids who need to be seen and understood. I left the classroom in 2020 and now split time between running a business, earning my master's at Johns Hopkins, and writing. I've published two books but still find myself reaching for storybooks, silly songs, and sidewalk chalk! So, let's build forts, get messy, and add some extra magic to your family's day!
[Sorry, Isis! This will be a long review! | have to rave about you!] We feel incredibly lucky to have Isis as our two girls' nanny. We have a 4 and 1 years old. Quite honestly, she's been nothing short of magical! From the moment she entered our home, it felt like someone had sent us our very own angel. She's cheerful, endlessly patient, and wonderful in every way. I think her background as a teacher brings a rare blend of passion, structure, creativity, and confidence to her nannying that makes a world of difference. She picked up on our daughters' routines quickly and helped us establish new ones! She also seems to instinctively know how to tailor activities and learning moments to each child's developmental stage. Our 4yo has blossomed under her guidance. She's now thriving in early reading skills, counting in both English and Spanish, and asking to "play school" daily because of the fun and engaging ways Isis teaches. Her patience seems limitless, especially with our energetic toddler! She navigates meltdowns and diaper blowouts with calm and grace, turning even the most chaotic moments into laughter. She's never flustered and is always prepared, gentle, PRESENT (which is important to us after having multiple babysitters who couldn't seem to put their phones down!) One of the things we especially appreciate is Isis's growing fluency in Spanish. She's been studying for a couple of years now, and it's such a gift that she can reinforce our 5-year-old's Spanish homework. They'll sing songs, label toys around the house, and even have little conversations in Spanish. It's a joy to watch-and such a bonus that she can support language development in this way! Beyond her professionalism and teaching talent, Isis is genuinely kind, responsible, and deeply loving. Our children adore her. So do we. She has a special way of making every day feel magical while giving our kids the security and consistency they need to thrive. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We cannot recommend her highly enough! HIRE HER! [My name is Elise J. I originally sent this review to Isis to post on my behalf because I don’t use Care.com myself. But she informed me that it helps to be posted from my account. I hope this helps! Please feel free to email or call me if you’d like to verify how much we love her!]
