A little bit about me

I’m JaNiyah. I’m 19 years old and I’ve been a dedicated babysitter since the age of 10, growing up in a large family with five siblings and over 15 nieces and nephews. Through the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 14-year-olds. My responsibilities have included everything from changing diapers and preparing meals to cleaning, teaching, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. Naturally, I’m sweet, patient, caring, and attentive, always making sure children feel comfortable and supported. Now, as a mother to my own son, my caregiving skills have only grown stronger, giving me an even deeper understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to caring for my family members, I have provided consistent childcare in home settings where I was responsible for daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, bathing, and bedtime. I’ve also helped with homework, light housekeeping, and organizing activities to keep children engaged. My experience has allowed me to confidently manage multiple children at once while maintaining a safe and structured environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and educational activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and interactive games. I also like helping with learning activities like practicing numbers, letters, and basic skills depending on their age. I focus on limiting screen time and encouraging imagination, creativity, and active play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is ensuring children feel safe, loved, and supported at all times. Building trust with both the child and the family is essential. I believe in creating a positive environment where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically while maintaining strong communication with parents.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children who need extra patience, attention, and care. However, I’ve never worked with a child requiring highly supportive needs. I take the time to understand each child’s individual needs and routines, and I approach every situation with compassion and flexibility. I am committed to creating a calm, supportive, and structured environment where every child feels safe, understood, and included.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a caregiver is seeing a child learn something new or accomplish something they were struggling with, whether it’s a first word, finishing homework, or learning a new skill. Being part of those milestones and knowing I played a role in their growth is very rewarding to me.
