Zaina H.
- 7 years paid experience
- 12 miles

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.

Being the eldest of my siblings, with an age gap of 15 yrs and 21yrs, put me in a position to learn the needs of children front and center. I joke that I was more of their parent than actually their sibling. My caretaker background continues as an after school counselor for the Y.M.C.A. in the K.A.S.P.E.R program. Also, I was working with special needs children in the N.W.S.R.A. I received my certificate in first aid and CPR with those positions. I received a bachelor’s in marketing communications and am looking for a position with children currently, as it is rewarding and a change of pace is what I need. I enjoy creativity, imagination, and play. Art projects and science projects, and learning activities are things I would love to share with your children. I am reliable, empathetic, and kind. I am so looking forward to meet you and your kiddos!

Hello! My name is Danielle. I'm 21 years old and come from a family of 7, and have 8 nieces and nephews ages ranging from 1-9. I grew up doing musical theater, and started teaching summer camp to kids ages 5-12 about 4 summers ago! I have been babysitting for 5 families since I was 13, and worked as a part time nanny all last year to an infant, toddler and 7-year-old. So I'm very experienced when it comes to kids, as being around kids is like second nature to me. Aside from all that, I am CPR/AED certified, I have m own transportation and am very comfortable driving kids. I'm a hard worker, with high energy, and lots of patience to give spare :) I would love to hear back from you if you feel I would be a great fit for your family! Thank you for your consideration.
