Hi, my name is Joyce Kimani. I am a responsible and energetic person with experience working with children of various ages. After eighth grade, I worked as a camp counselor where I supervised and supported children in activities while helping create a fun and safe environment. During my junior year of high school, I also worked with children and babies in swim instruction, helping them feel comfortable in the water while teaching basic swimming and safety skills. These experiences helped me build strong communication, leadership, and caregiving skills, and I enjoy creating positive experiences for children and families.

I am also CPR, AED BLS certified, with a strong focus on safety, routine, and emotional support in every home I work in.

Hi! My name is Cryena, and I’m a 26-year-old school counselor with a strong passion for supporting children and families. I hold a master’s degree and have over five years of hands-on experience as a nanny, caring for children of various ages. I truly enjoy creating safe, nurturing, and positive environments where children can grow and feel supported.

I look forward to continuing to help families by providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive care.
