Booked by 6 families in Metuchen, 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.
