Booked by 2 families in Annandale, NJ

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.

While this would be my first time baby sitting officially, I have a strong background in working with children through my experience as a student athlete over the past four years, where I engaged with kids in various settings such as camps and after games. My time in these roles has honed my patience and understanding, qualities that are important for caregiving. Additionally, growing up with my mother, a neonatologist in the NICU, has given me invaluable insights into infant care and a deep appreciation for working with babies. I have often gone with my mother to her work, which has made me even more passionate about caring for young children and has given me hands-on experience. These experiences make me well-qualified to be a reliable and caring babysitter.

I am an experienced early childhood educator and caregiver with over 7 years of experience working with children ages 16 months to 6 years in both school settings and private homes. My background includes roles as a preschool and pre-kindergarten teacher, private preschool educator and nanny, and lead teacher at a nature school. My approach to childcare is holistic, nurturing, and developmentally focused. I love creating environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to explore. I design activities that support social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual growth, including early learning skills, arts and crafts, music, storytelling, imaginative play, and hands-on experiences. I enjoy helping children develop independence, problem-solving skills, and confidence while encouraging creativity and curiosity every day. I am passionate about incorporating mindfulness, movement, and time outdoors. I have led yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation practices to build body awareness, focus, and confidence. Nature exploration is also central to my teaching, encouraging curiosity, compassion, and respect for the world around us. As a nanny and private preschool teacher, I’ve provided personalized learning at home, supporting daily routines while creating playful learning opportunities through art, puzzles, imaginative play, cooking, and life skills. I also founded a summer program called Synergy Adventure Days, guiding children on nature-based learning adventures to explore ecosystems, wildlife, and the beauty of natural parks. I love animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and birds. I am organized, reliable, and happy to help with household tasks, errands, and preparing meals or snacks for children and families. I have a naturally playful and childlike spirit, which helps me connect easily with children. I love being imaginative and fully present in their world; whether building forts, exploring outside, creating art, or diving into storytelling and games. Kids connect with me quickly, and I genuinely love the energy and wonder they bring. I strive to make every day fun, engaging, and full of learning, so children feel confident, joyful, and inspired. Families describe me as warm, nurturing, present, calm, and deeply attentive, with a joyful, engaging energy. My goal as a caregiver is to create a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where children feel supported, confident, and curious to explore and learn.
