About Aaliyah

Hi! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m 18 years old. I’m the oldest of four siblings, so caring for children has always come naturally to me. I graduated high school a year and a half early to jump start my college career, and I’m currently working toward my BSN with the goal of becoming a pediatric psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have experience working with children through mentoring, summer camp activities, and caregiving environments, along with healthcare experience as a CNA, which has helped me become patient, dependable, nurturing, and attentive. Outside of school and work, I love animals (I have a dog and a cat), art, math, and spending time outdoors—especially near the water. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and supportive environments where kids feel comfortable being themselves, and I love building genuine connections with both children and parents.
