Anna D.
- 5 years paid experience

Hi, I’m Anna Diouf! I’m a warm, dependable, and nurturing nanny with extensive experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to toddlers and beyond. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working full-time with several families in New York and New Jersey, providing attentive, loving care tailored to each child’s unique needs. From March 2023 to March 2025, I cared for two children aged 2 years and 5 months at the start, managing busy calendars filled with school, camps, and extracurricular activities. I organized educational games, storytime, outdoor playdates, and prepared healthy, balanced meals. I also traveled abroad with the family, providing round-the-clock care. Previously, I worked full-time with infants, supporting early childhood milestones like baby-led weaning, walking, and dual-language development, while managing daily routines such as feeding, changing, and nap schedules. My experience also includes live-in nannying, where I focused on nutrition, enriching outings to museums and libraries, and maintaining smooth bedtime routines. I’m CPR-certified, punctual, and communicative, and I bring a creative and compassionate approach to childcare. I’m passionate about child wellness and development and currently preparing to apply to nursing school to specialize in pediatrics, which reflects my deep commitment to nurturing children’s health and happiness. Families trust me not just as a caregiver but as someone dedicated to their children’s growth and well-being.

Hello! I'm Aolat, a caring, patient, and creative babysitter with years of experience caring for children across multiple age groups, especially children ages 2–8. I’ve worked with single children and sibling groups, and I’m skilled in homework help, bedtime routines, potty training, and meal prep. I'm often incorporating my love of theatre and literature into games, storytelling, and other enriching activities. I’m just as confident managing fun outdoor adventures, like walks and park visits as I am leading quiet indoor time. I am a prospective law student, with a background ranging from being a camp counselor for elementary-aged kids to most recently working with university students. I'm here to create a safe, meaningful environment where kids can explore, learn, and have fun—and that parents can feel confident in! :)

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.
