About Riah
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have 4 years of nannying experience with one of those years as a live-in. I was also a toddler teacher in a childcare center for a year. I find joy in helping children learn and grow while exploring the world around them. I also am great at tiring kids out. Once I learn their interests and developmental stage I am great at facilitating physical, creative, and educational activities. I have a lot of experience in age appropriate science exploration as well. I have an associates degree in early childhood education and a bachelors in chemistry. I am currently working on getting my teaching license to be a high school science teacher and will be completing it at the end of the 2025 school year.

Riah is very friendly and personable. She gets along well with my wife and me, and our son loves her. She babysat for our son several days in August and taught him to put on his socks and shoes by himself (he's 2). She also successfully got him to take long naps by himself (which we had been unable to do). Riah "gets" toddlers and we will have her watch our child again.
