Booked by 1 family in Lincroft, NJ

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.”
