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

I plan on studying pediatric nursing and I have worked with special needs kids as well. I am willing to take kids to the park, do crafts, cook, do yoga, etc. I absolutely love working with children because of how creative they are. As you care for them, they care for you without them even being aware of it. I support fluid dynamics and I am versatile in my teachings. I guide children with what aligns in their hearts, I do not reprimand by hitting or attacking, I am against physical behavior. I am very respectful and attentive. I look forward to working with you and your family!
