Hi there! My name is Shaniyah, and I've been caring for and teaching kids for over 10 years. I've worked as a nanny, teacher, and childcare provider, and I truly love what I do. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and I'm currently pursuing my second master's because I believe in always learning and growing. I recently graduated from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the New York Film Academy's Acting for Film program. I'm also a proud U. S. Army veteran, which has taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to handle any situation with calm and confidence. Families describe me as warm, creative, and trustworthy. I bring patience, positivity, and structure to every home I work in, and I love creating fun, enriching experiences that help kids learn and grow. Working with children has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'd be honored to support your family however I can.
Shaniyah was absolutely wonderful with my girls! We needed a short-term babysitter who could be flexible with our changing schedule, and she always made it work without hesitation. My kids lit up whenever I told them she was coming — they truly loved spending time with her. Shaniyah always came prepared with fun activities to keep them engaged, and I could tell she genuinely cared about their happiness and well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, proactive, and kind sitter. I highly recommend her to any family!
