Booked by 5 families in South Bound Brook, NJ

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.

Fizha $16 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, reliable, and responsible caregiver with years of experience caring for children. As an aunt to 15 nieces and nephews, I’ve been helping care for kids since I was 10 years old and have experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m very comfortable around kids and tend to connect with them easily—I’m often the person they are excited to see! I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy keeping children engaged through play, activities, and outings. I also have my own car and can safely take children to nearby activities, parks, libraries, appointments, or other approved locations. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
