I went to college in San Diego for Biochemistry, and ended up working in childcare to put myself through a Masters program in Biotechnology. I have been babysitting since I was 11, so around 13 years. I was working at a Childcare Development Center in Okinawa from Aug 2025 to June 2026, so I am CPR certified, and am experienced working with kids from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I am looking to transfer to a CDC on Wright Patterson AFB, so this is a means of supporting myself while I wait for that transfer to process. While I was working at the CDC in Okinawa, I underwent a background check to ensure I was fit for childcare, and passed. I assure you that I will take great care of your children and that we will have fun together!

Hi, I’m Samiya! I’m a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with experience working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel comfortable in their everyday environment. I’m passionate about creating a safe, caring, and fun space where every child feels valued and supported.

I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I am a registered behavioral technician which means I work with kids on the spectrum. I’ve been doing it for about a year now. So I have experience taking data, toilet training, life, skills, and communication and also behavioral management.
I started babysitting when I was 15. I babysat my cousins, friend’s sibling, and my neighbors’ children. At the moment I’m a primary school teacher. In my free time I would like to babysit again, because I enjoy working with children and love doing creative or educational activities with them. I’m available during the evening and in the weekend.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Dayton for work.
