A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Ms.Anita! I'm 29 years old, and I've been a career nanny for the last 6 years! I have experience with children of all ages, but specialize in toddlers. That's probably because im just a giant child with bills! Haha. I was with my last nanny family for 3 years. I still see them often. One of my nanny children was neurodivierse. I worked hand in hand with his behavioral therapist team, and learned so much! Being a nanny is not just a job for me. It's a passion. I come from a large family. I have 6 siblings, 3 nieces, 5 nephews, and one 6 year old myself! My parents fostered over 40 children while we were growing up so that is where this love of caretaking comes from. Two of my sisters are also nannies. Its in our blood! Haha. I come with years of experience, glowing references, and so much love to give. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks!

"What made Anita such a good nanny was that she puts her whole heart into her profession. She’s by the far the best baby sitter I’ve ever had. She’s so patient with my two year old daughter. My daughter always comes home clean, fed, and happy. She’s not had an injury or illness in the year that we’ve been going to Anita. Anita has checked in with me throughout the day since day 1. I’m a new mom and always ask questions. She’s always happy to help and suggests exercises to do with my daughter to help with any concerns I may have. My daughter absolutely loves her. She’ll be your child’s favorite person and your dream come true. I recommend her to anyone any chance I have."

A little bit about me
Hello,
My name is Nia Delaney, and I am 24 years old with a passion for working with children. This passion began during my childhood through active involvement in my church's youth department and has grown stronger over the years.
I have worked at a childcare center for five years, gaining experience with children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids and beyond. This role has given me the skills and understanding needed to support children in their growth and development. I will graduate this May with a bachelor’s degree in education, further enhancing my ability to guide and nurture young minds.
Although I am an only child, I have step-siblings and close friends with children. I love spending time with them, watching their growth, and encouraging their curiosity. My dedication and experience reflect my commitment to providing a loving, supportive environment for children.
Thank you for considering me. I would be happy to answer any questions!
Best regards,
Nia Delaney

A little bit about me
I’m a fun, energetic grandmother of nine who genuinely loves children and family life. When I’m not caring for kids, you’ll find me cooking as a budding chef, tending my garden, or spending time with my dog.
I enjoy creating a warm, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I love singing, storytelling, and finding ways to turn everyday moments into fun learning opportunities. Whether we are baking something simple together, reading a book, or exploring outside, I believe children thrive when they feel encouraged and valued.
Because family is so important to me, I enjoy helping parents strengthen their homes by providing dependable, high-quality childcare. My goal is always to support both the children and the parents so the household runs a little smoother and the kids feel cared for and happy.

A little bit about me
I’ve worked in retail for four years.
I absolutely adore kids. I’ve always been around kids of all ages growing up. I’ve babysat kids in my family plus other children as well since the age of 13. I’m smart, capable, a great problem solver and always eager to learn new things. I find that helping kids grow and learn/watching that happen is one of the most joyful things in life to be able to be apart of!
I’m also an animal lover and am okay with any pets :)
