Hi! My name is Ananiya (Nani), and I'm currently a law student looking for work that I both enjoy and can fit with my schedule. I've been working with kids for as long as I can remember, I can truthfully say that I love it! My experience began at home, where I was often responsible for babysitting by nieces and nephews. I now have twelve neices and three nephews, and my responsibility to them hasn't changed. I began working in daycares as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher in 2022, and led classes of children from three months to eight years old. In 2024, I began working with high school students as a Career and College Counselor. When I began law school, a lot of my formal work with children stopped, but I would love to start again! I'm super active and love going outside to play. I'm good with homework help. And I'm super patient!

Iβm Maya, Iβm currently a college student on a pre law track and I have been babysitting for many years. It first started off from watching my baby cousin and progressed into working for close family friends and jobs here in DC. My most previous job was with an infant who I got to watch for 7 months and build an amazing connection with him and his family. I also worked with two brothers in the spring who needed to be picked up from school and taken home for dinner and playtime. I loved hanging out with the kids and getting to know them and their families. I love pets and wonβt mind taking care of them as well as the children. I love to cook especially for other people and donβt mind cleaning during down time or when the kids are occupied. I look forward to meeting your family and building amazing memories

For the past two years, I have had the opportunity to nanny and care for children of different ages, which has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. I enjoy building genuine relationships with children, keeping them engaged through activities, and creating a safe and positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported. In addition to nannying, I have worked with children through dental office internships, where I learned how important patience, kindness, and clear communication are when helping kids feel at ease. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with children, adapt to their individual needs, and provide dependable care that parents can trust.
