About Joy

Hello! My name is Joy. I am a Chicago native who relocated to Arizona in 2025. I hold a master's degree in Early Childhood Education and have over six years of professional childcare experience, including roles as a lead teacher, administrator, and full-time career nanny. My childcare style is Montessori-inspired, nurturing, and grounded in calm, clear communication. I am intentional about creating safe, engaging environments that support each child's natural development and growing independence. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I was also a competitive swimmer for seven years and worked as a lifeguard at beaches and pools for over three years. I love incorporating outdoor play, swimming, arts and crafts, cooking, and reading into my time with children. I am happy to discuss my experience, rates, and availability further, and I can provide references upon request. I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, fun, and developmentally appropriate care for your child(ren).
