eliable, CPR-Certified College Student with 4 Years of Babysitting Experience | Passionate About Kids & Pets

Hi, I’m Anala! I’m a college student with 4 years of babysitting experience and a genuine passion for caring for children. I’m CPR and BLS certified, so you can feel confident knowing I’m prepared to handle any emergency situation with care and calmness.

I pride myself on being an honest, trustworthy, and great communicator—qualities that I believe are essential when building a strong relationship with both kids and parents. Whether it's engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, or simply making sure your little one feels safe and comfortable, I’m committed to providing a positive, caring environment.

I also love pets, so if you have furry friends at home, I’m more than happy to care for them as well!

If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and caring to watch over your child (and pets!), I’d love the opportunity to help!
