Nurturing young minds is truly a passion of mine. With eight years of experience, I find immense joy in fostering children's growth and providing reliable support to families. My approach is patient, creative, and always friendly. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Family & Child Development and have supplemented my education with Early Child Development coursework, First Aid Training, and CPR Training, amongst other trainings. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at a time, engaging them with outdoor games, puzzles, crafts and educational activities. I'm also happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. Communication is key, and I'll keep you updated on your child's day using your preferred method. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my calm energy and experience to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment for your little ones.
Utaya has been a strong force in our daughter's life, helping to raise her into a kind, generous, well-manared three year old. Our daughter has spent 2 consecutive years in Utaya's classrooms at daycare. Additionally, she is our go-to (only, actually!) Afterschool/evening caretaker when we are in need. She has patiently helped our now potty trained daughter navigate giant developmental stages like big emotions, thumb sucking, assertiveness, a big world with choices, and sharing/caring for our friends, toys and self. For these 2 years of leaving our daughter with Utaya I have yet to see her cry for us or seem upset that she gets to play with her good friend(s) instead of us. We have such gratitude for this gracious, smart woman. With her background in early childhood education, all the certificates and certifications parents want and stellar dependency and communication skills...well, look no further. Selfishly I don't want to tell the world how wonderful she is because we want her available to our exclusive needs. But she's too bright of a gem to not share with our community. We are lucky to have her in our lives. Thanks, Utaya for everything!
