A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Saniyah Dubose. I’m 17 years old, and my birthday is July 20th. I recently graduated in February 2025.
I come from a family with two younger siblings, ages 6 and 13, so I’ve spent a lot of time helping care for children. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and have always taken on a nurturing role within my family. While I don’t have formal experience with a babysitting agency, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to toddlers.
I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum, as my younger sister has autism, along with other family members. This has helped me develop patience, understanding, and the ability to adapt to different needs and personalities.
I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children.

A little bit about me

Worked at the Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County as a Peer Leader, helping the instructors with organizing and teaching. I’ve worked in multiple different age groups, experiencing and learning what each age group needed and how to take care of their needs. Always been close with the 4-9 year olds. They’ve always been the sweetest and loved how I made sure they were happy everyday. Some even invite me to sit with them during class activities, especially the 4 year olds! Loved them so much.
