About Wafa

Experience: 13 yrs

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and creating enriching experiences for children. My passion stems from witnessing their incredible growth and development firsthand. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, making it easy for children to feel comfortable and secure. I have a college degree and coursework in Early Child Development. I maintain current certifications in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I'm happy to engage children in various activities, from outdoor sports to board games, and I'm comfortable following your household rules. I always prioritize clear communication, adapting to your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time and willing to assist with light housekeeping. Speaking both English and Arabic allows me to connect with a wider range of families. Knowing that I can contribute to a child's happiness and well-being brings immense joy to my life.

Wafa is my former coworker and has been working in the early childhood education field for over 15 years. Throughout her career, she has shown an incredible dedication to helping children learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Her passion for early childhood development truly shines through in everything she does. Wafa has a natural ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable, valued, and confident. She creates a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and express themselves. Her patience, creativity, and gentle approach allow her to guide each child at their own pace, always celebrating their unique strengths and milestones. She is not only loved by the children but also respected and appreciated by parents and colleagues for her professionalism, reliability, and deep understanding of child development. Wafa goes above and beyond to make learning meaningful and joyful, and she is truly an inspiration to those who have the privilege of working with her.
