About Joy
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm a dependable, warm-hearted caregiver with 15+ years of experience supporting children of all ages through roles at the YMCA, Disney Cruise Line, UCI, and in EdTech. I've led before/after-school programs, camps, and family service. I always bring energy, creativity, and care to each setting. I recently wrapped up 4 years as a part-time nanny and am now available for weekday and select weekend care in the Long Beach area. I love engaging kids with screen-free fun like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures and music. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. Whether calming an infant, guiding a toddler through routines, or helping a school-aged child with homework and friendships, I tailor my approach to their needs. I'm happy to help with drop-offs/pick-ups, light meals, homework, and pet care. I value open communication and love partnering with families to help kids thrive.
Most recent review
We had the pleasure of having Ms. Joy care for our young daughter for 7 months. We had just moved to a new city, and from day one our daughter felt comfortable and safe with her, which made the transition so much smoother for our whole family. She was nurturing and genuinely invested in our daughter's wellbeing, but what really set her apart was her approach as an educator. She did daily lessons, creatively leveraging materials we already had while also bringing in new, fun activities to keep our daughter engaged and learning. Our daughter adored her, always hugging her goodbye when she'd leave each day. She is reliable, trustworthy, and someone we always felt completely at ease having in our home. We highly recommend her!
