A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tiana, and I’m a responsible, creative, and caring 17 -year-old with a passion for working with kids.
I’m currently a student with a strong academic background (5.0 GPA), and I’m also super organized thanks to my experience managing a tennis team and running my own small business in fashion.

When I babysit, I love bringing positive energy, fun games, and a calm, safe environment. I’m the oldest in my family, so I’ve been around younger kids for most of my life and know how to keep them happy, entertained, and on schedule. I’m also trained in time management (school + work life balance is real) and I always make sure things run smoothly—whether it’s homework help, mealtime, or bedtime.

If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, communicative, and knows how to connect with kids while keeping things structured and fun, I’m your girl!
