A little bit about me

My name is is RaNiyha I’m 17,

I’ve always had a strong love for kids, and a big reason for that is my family. I come from a large family with 10 siblings, so being around children has been a big part of my everyday life. The youngest is about to turn one, and I’ve been helping take care of my siblings since I was young. From changing diapers and making bottles to helping with homework and entertaining toddlers, I’ve pretty much done it all.

Growing up in a busy household taught me a lot—patience, multitasking, how to stay calm under pressure, and most importantly, how to understand and care for kids of different ages and personalities. It’s second nature to me now, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I don’t just take care of kids because I have to I do it because I love seeing them grow, learn, and be happy. It brings me joy to know I can make a difference in a child’s life, even in small ways.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 teens and have been in childcare off and on for 30 years! I started babysitting on my own by the age of 12 with a family that had a 1 yro and then delivered twins. Never again did I struggle with multiple children! I've ran my own home daycare, taught as lead teacher to a toddler classroom at a brick and mortar center and taught/coached swimming from the age of 6 months old and up! I'm looking to work with kids again as I've had a break!
