Divine Manzano
Brooklyn
Summary
Hello families! My name is Divine, and I’m a New York native with several years of babysitting and tutoring experience. What first started as helping family and friends by watching their children and assisting with homework quickly became something I truly enjoyed and turned into a hobby. I love supporting children as they learn, grow, and build confidence. As someone who enjoys creating artwork, I also like incorporating art, crafts, and creative activities into playtime to make learning fun and engaging. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel happy and supported while parents feel confident that their little ones are in great hands.
