I am a pre-med biology graduate from Morgan State University and a certified medical assistant. These studies have strengthened my understanding of health and safety, which is crucial to being a competent caregiver. As I continue my path of education, I hope to become a pediatrician who expresses my genuine compassion for caring for kids, not just physically but emotionally as well. As one of the oldest kids in my family, I have been accustomed to babysitting for quite some time. From babysitting my newborn nieces and nephews overnight to watching my cousins for almost a week. I also have experience in animal sitting for 2 years, whether that be dogs, cats, and even hamsters. Caregiving has been a pivotal part of my life since I was younger, growing up in my household. Having to assist my younger brother and sister with homework, cooking them dinner, and being a beacon of knowledge, care, and love for them. I love caregiving because I enjoy being a dependable person that people can count on. It gives me a sense of purpose because I know that I am playing an essential role in their life. Constantly showing up and being present, supporting their development, reminds me that even little, everyday actions such as these are the ones that make a difference and create a village for kids to be nurtured and grow healthily.

“On time, kids were very comfortable and had fun while my husband and I went to the movies! ”

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.”
