Hello ! my name is saphira, Ihave worked in childcare for a year and a half, supporting two different families. One family had an 11-month-old, where I focused on early development through play, sensory activities, and consistent routines. The other family had a four-year-old and a seven-year-old, and I planned engaging activities suited to their ages. I organized outdoor play, games, and nature walks to keep them active, and I led crafts that included educational themes to encourage creativity and learning. Through this experience, I built strong communication, patience, and responsibility while creating a safe, fun environment that supported each childβs growth and curiosity.

I have worked with young children for over 5 years & I love what I do! I believe children learn best by doing and my focus as a caretaker and teacher is to teach through play, direction & routine. As a mother, and sibling, I understand the importance of safety, family, love, and trust. I have volunteered my time as a member of my church towards childcare, I give back to the children and families in my community & I am devoted to revitalizing today's educational structure and strengthening the relationships between the teachers, families & children that I support. I am on a continuous journey to learn & my ultimate goal is mentorship β a strong mind is one built on a foundation of knowledge. Knowledge flows many streams, through play, dance, song, film, food, music, experience, exercise & all things life! To expand is to evolve!Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions & I look forward to sharing more with you! Thank You!!
