About Kaniya

Experience: 3 yrs

I am a high school graduate who considers myself welcoming, approachable, and dedicated to supporting others. Since the age of 18, I have worked with individuals of all ages, from young children to adults, and I have genuinely valued every experience. Currently, I work with children on the autism spectrum and find this role deeply fulfilling. At 21, I am employed at a school serving toddlers with special needs, where I have discovered a true passion for helping young learners grow and thrive. Making a meaningful, positive impact in their lives each day is incredibly rewarding and continues to motivate me in my work. In my free time, I enjoy reading and preparing for my return to school, as well as spending quality time with my younger siblings. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my skills and dedication, and I look forward to the possibility of working together.

I cannot recommend Kaniya highly enough. She cared for my four children for years, and during that time she became so much more than just a nanny she became a part of our family. If I were still living in Westchester County, she would absolutely still be with us today. Her presence in our home brought stability, warmth, and reassurance during some of the busiest seasons of our lives. Kaniya is incredibly dependable, thoughtful, and patient. She understands children on a level that is rare she listens to them, guides them, and supports them with a calm and loving energy. She never once made me feel worried or unsure; I knew every day that my kids were safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for. She helped with everything from homework to routines to emotional challenges, and she always showed up with a positive attitude and a solutions-oriented mindset. Anyone who has the privilege of bringing her into their home is truly so blessed. My kids still talk to her constantly, and she remains closely connected to my family to this very day. That alone speaks volumes about the bond she built with all of us. Trusting someone with your children is one of the hardest things to do, and Kaniya made it easy. She is unmatched, and any family that hires her is gaining not only a phenomenal nanny but a lifelong supporter and friend.
