Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable babysitter with 10+ years of professional nanny experience and 2 years as a German Au Pair living with an American family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged, and I’m comfortable managing multiple kids at once. I can help with everything from diaper changes and bedtime routines to homework, meal prep, and fun activities. I’m calm, organized, and happy to tidy up so you can come home to a smooth, settled house. As a parent myself, I understand how important trust is. My goal is simple: happy kids and relaxed parents

I adore Mona. Our family has known her for about 5 years now. Our daughters are best friends (from ages 5 to 9 currently), and I am so glad for that. We trust Mona - she’s smart, caring, generous, thoughtful and intentional. She believes in teaching and allowing kids age appropriate independence. She recognizes and meets kids where they are but also has a lot of fun. Mona is reliable, responsible and a great communicator - she drives my kids to school and takes them on fun adventures. She is artistic, loves animals, enjoys the outdoors, loves to garden and cook, and is very involved and active in her daughter’s school. Finally, I witness and observe how Mona is raising her own daughter. Not only am I incredibly grateful that my kids get the benefit of Mona’s huge heart and genuine care, but I too have grown as a parent from knowing her.

Hi there! My name is Zaina, I'm an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a passion for supporting children's growth and development. completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. I worked one on one with pre schoolers creating developmental plans. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying with children ranging from infants-12 years old. Over the years I've worked in a wide variety of childcare settings. I spent 3 years as an educator/manager at an elementary program, I implemented engaging daily lesson plans tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity for a safe, fun, and educational environment. I'm experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly.

Zaina started nannying my son when he was 6 month old son and was an exceptional addition to our family. She truly does her job with love and passion and made my son her top priority. she was very accommodating when we needed last minute changes or help which she didn't need to do but always wanted to help and make our lives easier. She took my son to the park and library, fed him, changed him. I loved how she incorporated education and development in his daily life which is a plus with her background. Always made sure to clean after him. She has me and my husband's top recommendation, we felt so comfortable and trusting with her!
