Hi there!! My name is Ana Maria, I’m from Colombia and I’ve been living in the USA for almost two years! I moved to Allentown 6 months ago, and I’m currently living with my husband and our cute dog called coda. I have 5 years of experience with kids between 0 to 15 years old, and I was an au pair in the US for 1.5 years.

Hi there! My name is Shaniyah, and I've been caring for and teaching kids for over 10 years. I've worked as a nanny, teacher, and childcare provider, and I truly love what I do. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and I'm currently pursuing my second master's because I believe in always learning and growing. I recently graduated from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the New York Film Academy's Acting for Film program. I'm also a proud U. S. Army veteran, which has taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to handle any situation with calm confidence. Families describe me as warm, creative, and trustworthy. I bring patience, positivity, and structure to every home I work in, and I love creating fun, enriching experiences that help kids learn and grow. Working with children has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'd be honored to support your family however I can.

Giana $25 per hour for 1 child

I have five years of professional childcare experience as a Teaching Assistant at You’re Adorable Nursery School in the Bronx. In this role, I cared for young children, organized interactive story times and learning activities, welcomed prospective families, and trained new employees to maintain a high standard of care. I was also trusted to babysit the nursery school owner’s three daughters outside of work. Additionally, I regularly care for my four nieces and nephews, giving me continued hands-on experience with children of different ages. I’m patient, nurturing, responsible, and attentive. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with meals and routines, and keeping children safe and engaged. I’m also dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. My professional experience and close involvement with my nieces and nephews have made childcare something that comes very naturally to me.
