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.

Hi, I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. Kids are so much fun to be around. I believe life is meant to be lived to it's fullest. That means being outside and playing, going to the zoo, riding your bike, learning a new sport, reading books and just being a kid. I am a caring, responsible, trustworthy, non-smoker, and lead a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy dogs, but I am allergic to cats so I can't consider a nanny job if you have any cats. I have my own transportation. I believe that in order to see if we fit, we must have a Zoom or Facetime call first. I have a very warm personality and can't wait to meet you!
