About Hanifa

Hi! My name is Hanifa, and I've been working in child care for 5 years since I was 19. I currently work as a Kindergarten Instructional Aide at Paterson Public Schools, and I've also spent several years working in daycares, preschools, and multiple summer camps for elementary students. I genuinely love helping children learn, grow, and feel confident in a safe, caring environment. I'm patient, dependable, and creative, whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, or getting some outdoor playtime in. Along with babysitting, I also offer tutoring for early learners and elementary students, especially in reading, writing, and math. My goal is to make learning fun and engaging while keeping things structured and positive. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and available after school, evenings, and weekends. I'd love to bring my experience, warmth, and reliability to a family who values genuine care and connection.
