About Lanaya

College senior | 8 yrs youth worker (5-18yrs old) | Youth Mental Health certified I'd describe my personality as fun, compassionate, and supportive I thoroughly enjoy working with kids because they bring immense joy, curiosity, and energy to every day. I'm looking for a job where I can support children in a safe, positive environment and build strong relationships with families. I value open communication, consistency, and opportunities to help kids learn, have fun, and feel supported. I started working with kids when I was 15 years old at a youth program in Boston. In my spare time, I like to cook, travel, and hang out with my friends. One thing families should know about me is that I'm deeply committed to helping children feel safe, supported, and confident their well-being always comes first. My top three child care skills are: creating a safe and loving environment, guiding positive behavior, and keeping kids engaged through fun learning activities.
