Your Childcare Provider
CIERRA VAUGHN-SMITH
FOUNDER
Throughout my career in childcare, I've had the privelage of working in various settings, including a daycare, nanny agency, and an elementary school (the year where all the children in TX went on spring break during the COVID-19 pandemic and didn't go back) where I've honed my skills in nurturing and educating children. In the daycare setting, I served as the Assistant Teacher for a group of potty-training 2-year-olds, managing a student to teacher ratio of 11-1. Additionally, I contributed to the Interventions Team while working at the elementary school as as English Language Learners Aide. My background extends to being First Aid, CPR, and AED certified.
Having been immersed in childcare throughout my life, growing up with a mother who owned a license in-home daycare, being the oldest of three, and belonging to a generational context, I bring a wealth of understanding and care for children.
I want to highlight my flexibility by mentoring my availability for overnight care, ability to travel when needed both domestically and internationally, and willingness to provide support when children are unable to attend daycare. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in providing overnight care, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for children while their parents are away. Additionally, I am available to travel if needed, both domestically and internationally. I have been fortunate to travel extensively, having visited 8 different countries and a plethora of states across the U.S. This exposure has enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives, further enhancing my ability to connect with and care for children from various backgrounds. I have experience working with special needs children, adapting my caregiving approach to meet their unique requirements. I also have experience with multiples, adept at managing the needs of multiple children simultaneously while maintaining a calm and nurturing environment.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures, finding inspiration in each adventure. I'm also passionate about exercising, whether it's a refreshing walk outdoors or a challenging strength training session. A fun fact about me is that I participated in a flash mob for Autism Speaks, combining my love for being active with a cause close to my heart.
