I have been in childcare for nearly half of my life and I plan to make it my future as well. I volunteered in community daycare when I was in middle school and I have taught swim lessons for two years and instructed kids gymnastics for one year. I am currently working part-time doing in-home care for seniors because I want to gain experience caring for people of all ages and backgrounds. I am very empathetic and patient and I connect with little ones easily, I’m responsible and reliable but I’m still just a kid at heart and am able to meet kids at their level.

Some of the children I’ve taught have written me cards and given me hugs because they feel safe and appreciated. When caring for children it is never about the money, it’s about fostering a safe environment and forming relationships that make them feel understood and happy.

I have my CPR certification and Food Handler’s permit, High School diploma, driver’s license and car with front and rear backup cameras (willing to drive children if needed), and will be going to college for Early Childhood Education in the fall. I also have always had dogs in my household and am willing to care for pets.

A Caring, Fun, and Reliable Babysitter Your Family Can Trust

Hi, families! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have hands-on childcare experience from caring for three of my younger siblings and my two godsiblings. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with children of different ages and learn the importance of being patient, responsible, attentive, and understanding. I enjoy spending time with kids, keeping them entertained, and helping create a safe and positive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or following their everyday routines, I’ll do my best to make sure your children feel cared for and included. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable with the person looking after their children, and I want to build that trust through good communication, reliability, and genuine care. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and help make your busy days a little easier!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
