Hi, I’m Fainah , and I have over four years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs. My passion for childcare is rooted in my love for nurturing and supporting children as they grow and explore the world around them. I am currently pursuing a degree in nursing, with a particular interest in pediatric care. My studies have given me valuable knowledge in child development, first aid, and health care, which I apply in my daily work with children. I have experience not only as a full-time nanny but also as an occasional babysitter and a daycare teacher’s assistant. Each role has helped me develop a wide range of skills, including behavior management, creating engaging activities, and providing personalized care to meet the unique needs of each child. In addition to my professional experience, I am a very outdoorsy and energetic person. I Read more love planning fun and educational outdoor activities like nature walks, park visits, and creative games that help children stay active and curious about the world around them. I firmly believe that fresh air and playtime are essential for a child’s well-being. I have passed a thorough New York State background check, ensuring parents peace of mind. My commitment to maintaining a safe, supportive, and enriching environment is my top priority. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and dedicated caregiver with a strong background in working with special needs children and a heart for helping kids thrive, I’d love to be a part of your family’s journey!
