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.
“Shaniyah was absolutely wonderful with my girls! We needed a short-term babysitter who could be flexible with our changing schedule, and she always made it work without hesitation. My kids lit up whenever I told them she was coming — they truly loved spending time with her. Shaniyah always came prepared with fun activities to keep them engaged, and I could tell she genuinely cared about their happiness and well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, proactive, and kind sitter. I highly recommend her to any family!”
Hello, I have 40 years of experience in health care, customer service and education. I have worked in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and home care settings. I specialize in companion care, not loosing site of the individual needs for socialization, physical exercise and personal care assistance. I am confident, resourceful and work collaboratively with each family I meet. I take pride in helping others live comfortable healthy lives.
Hi! My name is Rida, and I have over 5 years of babysitting experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m a patient, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. I love keeping children engaged with arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and homework help when needed. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, assist with nap time, keep play areas tidy, and help with light household tasks related to the children. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always prioritize safety, kindness, and open communication. I look forward to supporting your family with dependable, loving care.
Hi! I am flexible to caring for your children, pets or loved one. I have 3 grandchildren who I have cared for in the past & currently. Please reach out should you have any questions for me!
I have tons of experience working with children, especially those in the five and under range. I have previously worked as a camp counselor for preschool aged children, in which I was the lead counselor responsible for fifteen four year old children. I also used to be a swim coach, teaching assistant, and still babysit and teach swim lessons today. All of these jobs have given me a multitude of different experiences with kids and have taught me how to best work with them depending on the situation.
