A little bit about me
Hey, I’m Antaniya but you can call me Niyaa if you want, I’m 16 and a real children person. I’m in school studying law as a sophomore. An I just finished a summer job program called “GreenCorp Youth”. We built gardens and learned about Economic restoration. I also took a cooking class over the summer learning how to make foods from scratch. My favorite type of people are kids because they don’t take anything serious and are really fun to be around. I hope I’m a great match for you. 💗

A little bit about me
With over 25 years of experience caring for children and managing busy households, I bring a calm, capable, and nurturing presence to every family I serve. My background as a full-spectrum doula, educator, and childcare specialist has given me a deep understanding of family dynamics and child development. I’ve cared for infants through teens, including children with special needs, and I approach every stage with patience, creativity, and empathy.
Beyond childcare, I’m skilled in household organization, scheduling, meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and coordinating family routines. I’m known for my strong communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, as well as my ability to stay calm and attentive in high-pressure situations. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to helping both children and parents feel supported and at ease in their daily lives.

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.
