A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Maliya! I’m a college student living on my own, and I’ve been caring for kids most of my life. A lot of my experience comes from babysitting my younger siblings and family cooking for them, helping with homework, playing games, and just being someone they could count on.What I love most about babysitting is how being around kids makes me feel. Helping them learn, laugh, and just enjoy being kids brings me happiness also it doesn’t feel like work for the most part. It’s something that gives me purpose and joy. I may not drive yet, but I’m reliable with public transportation and always make sure I arrive on time. I’d describe myself as communicative, adaptable, and very heartfelt. Babysitting feels like the perfect way for me to balance school while doing something that truly makes me happy supporting kids and creating a safe and fun space for them.
