Hi! I graduated from Drake University with a BS in psychology and I also have an associates degree in criminal justice. I currently live in Vernon Hills with my 3 year old daughter and our two dogs. I LOVE to cook healthy and colorful meals. I am CPR and CPI certified, and have experience with autism and special needs. I work for TrueNorth full time during the school year as an RBT, and also work part time as a program assistant for NSSRA and an autism services clinic as an RBT. I am currently looking for summer or weekend work, but have some flexibility to fill in for last minute needs during the week. I have over 20 years experience in childcare, 13 of which I worked as a nanny. I have a long history with multiple families in the area as a nanny, working overnights, filling in when caregivers are on vacation, and working weekends, and can provide multiple references. I love arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, and playing games. If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

I love caring for children and helping them become kind, honest, and healthy individuals. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have worked with children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, wheelchair users, non-verbal communication, and bathroom assistance. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care for children. During my work at domestic violence shelters, I helped them process their changes in environment and other major life adjustments. I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.
