Hi, I’m Shylah! I’m a part-time student at Wayne community college with a passion for working with children. Over the past 7 years, I’ve babysat my nephews regularly since they were 10 months old. I’ve recently gained 1 year of professional experience in childcare with children ranging 4 months old to 3 years old. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn and play.
“Shylah is very professional, loved playing with my son, cared for my two dogs, and cleaned up right before I got home. Can’t wait for her to come again!!”

Hi my name is Moideen! I’m a recent university graduate of the University of California, Berkeley.

On the practical side, I have much experience sitting for the kids of my friends and friends of my parents and years of experience babysitting dozens of my cousins! I offer care for children, seniors, and pets and can also manage household tasks like cooking, and cleaning as well as other miscellaneous tasks!
