Hi! I’m Anilah, a full-time college student studying sonography with plans to pursue neonatal nursing. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and working with children feels very natural to me. I grew up in a big family with three siblings, so I’m patient, nurturing, and comfortable in busy households. I love doing creative activities like painting and crocheting with kids, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping families feel at ease knowing their children are well cared for. At this time, I am not comfortable driving due to a recent car accident (not at fault). I am happy to care for children in the home and am reliable with on-site responsibilities.

Hi! I’m a fun, patient, and dependable sitter who truly loves working with kids. I’ve cared for children in daycare settings, through babysitting, and as a proud mom of two little ones (ages 3 and 1), so I’m very used to busy days, big feelings, and lots of giggles! My background in healthcare as a CNA and LPN means safety is always a top priority, but I also love getting silly, creative, and active with the kids I care for. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or wind-down time, I’m here to make sure your child feels happy, safe, and cared for!
