A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Aniya, and I’m 19 years old. I recently graduated from high school and am taking a gap year to learn more about myself while exploring the career path I want to pursue. During this time, I want to spend it doing something that truly brings me joy, and caring for children has always been one of those things.

Growing up, I was always surrounded by younger family members, and I’ve loved being someone they could laugh with, learn from, and feel safe around. Those experiences taught me that being a caregiver is about so much more than watching children it’s about being patient, kind, dependable, and creating a space where they feel loved, encouraged, and free to be themselves.

I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to be someone your family can rely on while making your little ones feel happy, supported, and cared for every day.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nala, and my friends call me Lani. I attend Loyola University New Orleans as a theatre major during the school year! I love theatre because of the social skills I've picked up from it, not to mention all of the games and activities I have learned as well! In the future, I plan to become a Theatre teacher and direct a theatrical department.
(Experience in sewing, building things, painting, acting, directing etc.)

Aside from school, I am extroverted, but soft spoken. I enjoy crafts and indoor activities like listening to music, creating something new, or making snacks and meals! I also love outdoor activities like walks and going to the park.

I love to babysit and learn from the kids I babysit; they help me prepare for my future career as an educator, not only this, but I believe every babysitter can learn a lot about themself from who they babysit. :)

Last but not least, my favorite color is pink :)

I can't wait to start!
