About me

Hello, my name is Kiera Ford. I was born and raised in the Bronx! I am the eldest of three siblings who I love dearly. Growing up I always had a passion for creativity, caring for others and Theater and I still carry that passion till this day.
   
For the past eight years of my life, I have devoted my time to working with kids and helping them grow. In the past I was a teacher's assistant where I assisted the teacher in managing behaviors, creating lessons and caring for elementary students with special needs. After five years of working in the Department of Education, I moved on to being a teaching artist at a Non profit. I teach at risk students theater, arts and crafts. On the weekends I nannied for an incredible family for a year. I helped with house work, cooking and even helped the kids with their homework.I also nannied for a family of four, for three years in the mornings. The kids ages ranged from 2-12. My main responsibilities were breakfast, tutoring, laundry and getting the kids to school. I have learned how to provide kids with structure and how to be firm but also nurturing at the same time. Connecting with children has been a major part of my childcare experience.I'm a big believer that anyone working with kids should leave the kids feeling like they can conquer the world, and I'm proud to say that's what I have done.
   
It brings me joy to assist children and families with their everyday lives. I’m good at being fun, encouraging, educational and assertive when needed. I would love to be a helping hand to your family.
