Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have spent the last five years dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the children I support. My approach is patient, calm, and highly creative, ensuring that every child feels both comfortable and inspired. I hold a graduate degree with specialized coursework in Early Child Development, which informs how I engage with children from infancy through their teenage years. I am fully certified in CPR Training and First Aid Training. Whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or enjoying outdoor physical activities, I love finding new ways to make learning fun. I am happy to assist with meal preparation and light housekeeping while strictly following your household rules. I prioritize clear communication through daily updates. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, trusted part of your family's daily life. I am also a psychology graduate working on being a child therapist in the future.
Jabu was truly a wonderful addition to our family. As a single working mother with a demanding career, finding someone I could trust with my son, was extremely important to me. My son has special needs, including autism and ADHD, and Jabu showed him patience, kindness, understanding, and genuine love. She took the time to learn son's personality, routines, strengths, and challenges and cared for him as more than just a job. She became someone he was comfortable with and someone I could depend on. Whether helping with his daily routine, keeping him engaged, or simply providing a safe and nurturing presence, Jabu was reliable and caring. What I appreciated most was the relationship she built with our family. Having someone care for your child—especially a child who may need additional patience and understanding—requires an incredible amount of trust. Jabu earned that trust. I would highly recommend Jabu to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, patient, and trustworthy caregiver. She became part of our family, and we will always be grateful for the care and support she provided to my son and me.
