Joshualy F.

I am a proud Latina from Paterson, NJ, currently attending Montclair State University where I am pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Theater. I come from a close-knit family with two sisters and two nieces who have inspired my natural love and care for children.

In addition to my studies, I am an ambassador for The Diverse Effect, a dance company that reflects my passion for movement, creativity, and working with others. Dance is a big part of who I am, and I love incorporating it into activities with childrenwhether its freeze dance, musical games, or just having fun with movement. My friends would describe me as creative, jolly, and a little cheesyand I proudly agree! I have experience caring for toddlers between the ages of 25 and have even babysat two bunnies named Mojo and Winter for a month while their owners were away. I enjoy creating engaging, fun, and age-appropriate activities that bring kids together, from group games like Duck Duck Goose and Red Light, Green Light to arts and crafts like building popsicle stick houses.

What sets me apart is my desire to connect with each child individually. I always take the time to learn what each child enjoyswhether its soccer, music, dancing, or arts and craftsso I can tailor activities that truly excite and support them. My background in performing and my natural enthusiasm for working with kids makes caregiving not just a job, but a joy.
