Hello! My name is Daneeta and I am an experienced care provider and turor. I come from a large family, so I have quite a bit of experience with children of all ages, as well as children with special needs. I also volunteer in my church's nursery, so I am very comfortable with babies, and have tutored children from elementary through high school in different subjects. I am a singer and actor, so being creative and animated comes easy to me. I would love the opportunity to provide safe care for your precious little ones.
“Daneeta accepted the job last minute when my daughter was mildly ill and not able to go into daycare. My 9 month old daughter took to her instantly, and Daneeta was so gentle and caring - looking for ways to keep our daughter comfortable when she didn’t feel well. Daneeta was singing to her (beautifully, I might add) and I could hear from the other room my daughter trying to sing along, which was very very sweet. Will absolutely be reaching out to Daneeta again!”

Hi my name is Zaniya i’m 18 and i’m a upcoming senior class of 27. I offer childcare and also cleaning around the house! I love babysitting and have been babysitting since my 8th grade year and always loved doing it ever since I mainly watched Toddlers and kid and rarely watched infants. I also love helping out by doing stuff around the house and helping with little things, I know how to cook as-well I don’t have a drivers license yet so sadly I cannot run errands. I’m not allergic to anything but I do have sickle cell but I don’t let that get in the way. I look forward into helping parents and being someone you can rely on!
Hi, I’m Tanya! I’m a mom of two (ages 19 and 16) with over 25 years of experience caring for children—from newborns to teens—in church and educational settings. I bring a warm, calm presence and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—whether that’s crafting, baking, or getting outside. I’m also great at creating simple routines that help your home run smoothly and give kids a sense of stability. I’m dependable, organized, and love supporting families in a way that’s both helpful and encouraging. It would truly be a joy to care for your family!
