Hello! My name is Tanya, and I have a deep passion for working with children. With experience caring for kids of various ages, I strive to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I understand the importance of patience, creativity, and consistency in childcare, and I always aim to provide dependable and loving care. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a structured and safe routine, I am committed to making each day a positive experience for both children and parents. I am currently pursuing a career in education/healthcare, with the long-term goal of opening my own daycare. My love for working with children extends beyond just babysitting it’s about building meaningful connections and supporting their development in every way possible. If you’re looking for a caring and responsible provider who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love the opportunity to connect!

We had a great experience with Jayti, who cared for our two children for a full week. She was reliable, punctual, and handled daily responsibilities smoothly, including picking them up from school, preparing meals, and getting them ready for bed each evening. She was calm, attentive, and engaging with the kids, which helped them feel comfortable and well cared for right away. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt confident that our children were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and we are looking forward to working with her again.

Ayesha watched our 1-yr old daughter in our hotel room while we were traveling from out-of-town for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with - which really helped boost our confidence in booking a babysitter in another town. She even brought extra toys with her to entertain our daughter - which was very much appreciated! We certainly recommend Ayesha!

Zariah is very patient and was always engaged in learning activities with my child. She's personable and was great with decision making without me stepping in. She's hands-on and handled emotional tantrums with care and ease. My child looked forward to the days she would be at our home.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.
