Meet Alaya
- Comfortable with pets
I’m a freshman college student majoring in Acting at Howard University, with 13 years of childcare experience, babysitting since I was 7. I’ve cared for kids of all ages—from newborns and infants to older children—and I genuinely enjoy connecting with each stage. I spent a lot of time with my baby brother and my cousin’s little one, taking care of bottles, diapers, naps, and more, while also keeping older kids engaged with games, homework help, and creative activities. I have studied Spanish from 2nd grade through 11th grade, so I am able to speak and understand it to a good extent. I’m a licensed lifeguard, so I’m comfortable supervising kids during water activities. I also have culinary and baking training from Hofstra and have been cooking since I was 7, which makes meal prep and fun kitchen activities easy and enjoyable. I studied fashion design for two years and currently Read more serve as Costume Shop Manager and Lead Draper, which strengthened my leadership, organization, and multitasking skills. I love helping kids build confidence through creativity, storytelling, and hands-on projects. I’m adaptable to different personalities and age levels, and I always make safety, fun, and connection my top priorities. CPR certification is in process, and I’m happy to provide references or set up a call. If you’re looking for someone responsible, creative, and nurturing who can truly connect with kids and help them feel safe, engaged, and supported, I’d love to help your family.

I’m happy to provide a reference for Alaya. She worked for my family from 2021–2023, starting when my children were 4 and 8 years old. She was wonderful with them—very patient, attentive, and engaging. She regularly helped with homework, planned fun outdoor activities, and was great at keeping them active and entertained. Alaya also assisted around the house, including cooking and baking with the kids, light household tasks, and even helping with party planning. She was reliable, trustworthy, and proactive, and my children absolutely adored her. I would highly recommend her as a babysitter and household helper.

Alaya was wonderful with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old. She kept them engaged with fun activities, baking, games, and creative things they genuinely looked forward to. She also helped with homework and was very patient and encouraging. My children absolutely loved spending time with her and were always excited when she came over. She is dependable, caring, responsible, and has such a warm and positive personality with kids. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
