About Nakya

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello families! My name is Nakya, and I bring over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience along with my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in both infants/toddlers and preschool. I'm also certified in CPR and First Aid, ensuring your little one's safety is always my top priority. Currently, I'm a toddler teacher at Reggie's Tree House, where I love creating fun, engaging activities that help children learn through play-whether it's building creativity with crafts, exploring nature on buggy rides, or singing songs to spark language development. I believe childhood should be full of laughter, curiosity, and care. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and nurturing. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy visiting museums, the library, and the zoo-places I love to share with children to expand their world. I'd be honored to bring my experience, energy, and warmth into your home to support your family's needs.

Nakya cared for our child for five years. She is reliable, patient, and truly loves working with children. She created a warm, structured environment filled with creative activities, outdoor play, and learning opportunities. Her communication with us was excellent — we always knew how our child’s day went and felt comfortable bringing up schedules or needs. She handled transitions and challenges calmly and professionally. Any family would be lucky to have her.
