A little bit about me
I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. Throughout my career, I have cared for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged children, supporting their growth in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I am patient, nurturing, and dependable. I understand the importance of creating routines that help children feel secure while also encouraging creativity, learning, and independence. I assist with daily activities such as meal preparation, homework help, school drop-offs and pick-ups, organizing playtime, and maintaining a clean and organized space for the children.
Over the years, I have built strong relationships with families by being trustworthy, attentive, and committed to each child’s emotional, social, and educational development. I take pride in providing care that feels like an extension of the family, ensuring children are not only safe but also happy and thriving.

Hi! I’m Anaya B., a senior at Howard University offering child care, senior care, and household services.
I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, with experience ranging from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I’m also experienced working with children who have disabilities or learning challenges. Whether it's driving to and from school, doing arts and crafts, tutoring, or just spending quality time, I’m here to help!

I also provide compassionate senior care, including help with cooking, transportation to appointments, companionship, and day-to-day tasks.
Please note that I’m allergic to cats, but I’m happy to work in homes with small dogs.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family — feel free to reach out!

I have worked in daycare since I was 16 years old (I am now 36). After school, I would go straight to daycare as a floater.

Not only will I be able to care for your children safely, I will also be able to provide age-appropriate activities that coincides with their day to day lives.
