Hi, I’m Anekah Laney, a Portland-based caregiver and creator with a long history of babysitting and supporting local communities. Since 2012 I’ve cared for a child from ages 1 through 11, prepared snacks, changed diapers, and helped with naps and bedtime, while fostering reading, arts and crafts, and board games. I’m passionate about building safe, engaging environments for kids and families, and I bring patience, reliability, and creativity to every situation. I also have rich experience in volunteering and the arts, including after-school programs, summer camps, and independent film projects. I enjoy collaborating with others, learning new skills, and bringing design and storytelling to life through film, photography, and visual art. I thrive in team settings and am excited to apply my organizational and creative strengths to future opportunities.
