Hi! I’m a reliable and adaptable sitter with years of experience caring for both children and adults with diverse needs. I’ve babysat for siblings and my nephew, and my professional caregiving background has made me patient, calm under pressure, and attentive to safety. I’m flexible with different personalities, routines, and age groups. I love gaming and kids’ TV shows, so I’m great at keeping kids engaged and having fun—while still keeping structure in place. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for parents and kids alike.

Hi Everyone, I'm Aniyah! I'm 20 years old. I have CPR and First Aid Training (certified in infant, child, and adult care) I have experience with kids who are 0 - 13 years old. My specialty is newborns/infants to 4-year-olds. I've been babysitting/nannying for about 5 years. I started because I have younger siblings so I got very used to being around kids quickly. I worked as a teacher's aide for three years. I worked with kids while dental assisting, as well! Please let me know if you'd like to talk further, I'm totally able to answer to any questions you have! A little bit about me: 1) I'm in school right now for Psychology, my goal is to become a Middle School Counselor. 2) I just moved to South Carolina from Virginia so I'm newer to the area! 3) I'm a Certified Dental Assistant 4) I love trying new things so I'm constantly bouncing from hobby to hobby!

Hi! I am currently wrapping up my second to last semester at George Mason University. I’m set to graduate in August from the college of nursing in their accelerated second degree BSN program! I am beyond excited to start a career as an RN and more importantly, working with children. Through my clinical experiences and personal experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with and care for newborns to infants, toddlers and older children as well. I’m also the oldest of three sisters, meaning that I was old enough to uhhh j to help take care of my baby sisters when they were born! I will always cherish that and attribute that to my interest in changing my career at age 31 to nursing. If you have any questions about my background please feel free to reach out.

Hi! My name is Sasha, and I’m a college student (VT) who genuinely loves working with kids. I nannied consistently throughout high school and cared for two wonderful girls (ages 5 and 12) from 2021 to 2023. During that time, I provided attentive care, safe transportation, prepared snacks, kept things tidy and organized, and created an environment where both girls felt supported and understood.I’m CPR certified and comfortable helping with routines, light household tasks, activities, transportation, and anything that keeps the day running smoothly. I’m also patient, energetic, and very hands-on—whether that means helping with schoolwork, playing, or doing activities.I’m currently looking for a nannying position primarily for winter (Dec–Feb), though I’m also open to summer work (May–Aug) once my semester ends. I truly miss working with kids and would love to be a part of a family’s support system again. Additionally, I have a strong science/ STEM background—so if homework help is ever needed, I am able to provide that as well.
