I'm a master's graduate with more than 15 years of childcare experience (including my extensive time caring for my teenage brother and sister since they were infants!). Originally from Phoenix, I've also lived and babysat in Los Angeles, and would love to share my experience with your family here in New York! I'm also happy to assist with household chores, cooking, animal care, and other services along with babysitting.

Booked by 24 families in Rumson, NJ

Hi, my name is Anikka and I have graduated with a Sociology Degree with a minor in Spanish. I have obtained my masters degree in School Counseling to hopefully become a School Counselor. I have been working with children since i was 14 years old and have been continuing to do for the past 12 years. During these past 12 years, I have babysat children ranging from infancy through 11 years of age. In addition, I was a tutor for 5 years where i have helped children with their homework and helping them advance to the next reading level. In the previous summers, i had the chance to work at a summer day camp as the head counselor where I had identify the campers needs and talk to parents on issues that their child may be going through. Lastly, I promote and encourage healthy and safe behaviors to children. I love babysitting because I love making everlasting memories with the children while teaching them new things. In my free time, i like to crochet scarves, write songs, cooking, gardening, drawing, playing video games, just simply being me!

"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!"
