Hi there!! My name is Ana Maria, I’m from Colombia and I’ve been living in the USA for almost two years!

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.

II’m a student at Pace University, majoring in Writing for Diversity and Equity in Theatre and Media, with 4+ years of experience working with children through the City of Rockville, leading camps and creating fun, safe, and engaging activities. I also have babysitting experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old, as well as experience with Young Artists Academy, where I supported young performers through theatre and creative activities. Additionally, I have experience in elderly care, where I developed patience, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility while helping others feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and great at keeping kids engaged while making them feel safe and valued. I love creating a positive environment where children can learn, play, explore their creativity, and express themselves while providing compassionate care and support to people of all ages!

“Anah babysat for my daughter years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was very attentive, reliable, and genuinely cared about my daughter’s well-being. She took cleanliness and safety seriously, especially given the circumstances at the time. I also loved how she always came up with creative, traditional ways to keep my daughter entertained and engaged. She was caring, responsible, and wonderful to have as a babysitter.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
