Hi! I'm Ayzia, a dedicated caregiver with many years of experience supporting children across a wide range of ages, from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. My background includes working with multiple families, caring for groups of children with different needs, and creating a calm, nurturing space where kids feel safe, seen, and supported. I'm also a mother to twin daughters, which has deepened my natural approach to child care rooted in patience, structure, and genuine care. I enjoy guiding children through play-based learning, sensory activities, daily routines, and social growth while staying attentive to each child's unique personality. Families often appreciate my steady presence, clear communication, and ability to manage busy days with ease. My goal is always to create a warm, balanced environment that supports learning, comfort, and joyful moments throughout the day.

I have been a nanny since 2019 and have cared for a range of ages from newborn to middle school ages. I have mainly cared for late infant-preschool ages, but do have plenty of experience with other ages still! I have a 5 year old myself, so I also have firsthand experience caring for a child outside of nannying π
